Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hi Eva I thought that this was such a great story!! How lovely for her to come over and talk to you. I myself have often thought of using a baby stroller as i loath the stares that i get (see my post re people can be so rude) when I am out in public with my walker or walking stick.
