Hi Everyone,
I am also from Maine born in Freeportt back when we were mostly born at home. LOL!! I have lived around a few other states also. Massachusetts is where I was most during school years which was many moons ago. I was in Arizona for three years from 2002-2005. Too much heat there for me. Maine is my home and will always be even if I move to warmer climate for my old bones etc. I have back problems, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, bad knees and basal cell carcinoma now on my face. Having a consultation with a specilist surgeon November 18th. Then I am off to Florida for 2 weeks to be with my daughter for Thanksgiving. Will have surgery after I get back. It is not the bad skin cancer. Ohhhh!!! I hate that word, but I know I will be fine. Thanks for listening... Jan
