And you have *my* congratulations! I managed to lose about half of
what I'd like to last fall, then caved over the holidays. I'm back on
track now. I wish she and I lived closer, we could be walking
partners. As it is, my little Shih Tzu gets a work out, I'm up to
over an hour walking at least four days a week, and mowing the lawns
and yardwork on a fifth day.

Gee, thanks. I just could not pass up this fabulous silk print, and
it matches the color of a caftan-like robe I plan to use while at the
beach.

I actually did quite a bit of work on the house until the knees got
too unreliable: painted in '89, new deck in '91, re-roofed in '95...
But not now, it's just too dangerous.

Well, I know it's not much of a list compared to yours, but it keeps
me sane. ;-}
