45. I've only just moved here and did so reluctantly

Sat Feb 11, 2017, 09:47 PM

Feb 2017

But the cost of living is hard to beat and my son is a cellist w/ various symphonies in the area. I am so glad this state is representing so well and becoming more and more purple. I resolve to resist and be active as much as I can given my current limitations. Right now I can only make phone calls and emails, but am doing so daily. Am hopeful I can return to my former days of actually showing up!
