    Ginger, it is hard to accept that our bodies are changing as we get older. I like Dill' suggestion about trying an e bike; do you think that it would work for you?

    Glad that you enjoyed your visit with your daughter and granddaughter, sometimes a short visit is best.

          Sorry you had so much trouble posting, Jude! I wonder what was going on.

            Good morning Cafe. Ginger, you are not a debbie downer. It’s no fun to be hurting and limited in what you can do. I hope you do consider an e bike. They are small and easy to get around in. Wide tires, etc. If you ever want to look it up it’s radpowerbikes.com. I have an expand 5. It folds up and fits into my car.. we actually put it in a big plastic cement type tray and slide it into our SUV. Anyway, we are home. It was too cold and windy for us to ride so we came home yesterday. The hotel was awful and really changed since we stayed there the last couple of times. Moldy, filthy and didnt even have a blanket on the bed. We were never so glad to get out of there. Definitely not staying there next time. We paid for 2 nights and left after 1. We will just eat the cost of that extra night to be home. Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead. Heading to the gym and trying to make new resolutions to be more positive and less critical of myself and others. 24 more please and thank you.

                Not to worry Ginger, that's another reason we're all here, we're good listeners no matter what the problem. I can't imagine having to be so careful all the time would be like.

                Glad the visit was good Rava even if it was short, and even shorter because of the poor accommodations. Nothing worse than wasting money on something like a poor hotel room.

                Not sure what the problem is Jude, I think some of the others over on the other thread were experiencing the same thing.

                Waves to dill, did you get the cold, windy weather you were expecting?

                  Thanks everyone. I'm so glad you are all here. I've thought about an ebike and it may be an option. It wouldn't get me back on the hiking trails but it would make me mobile!

                  Busy day today. Best get my rear in gear! I'll take another day of freedom

                    Not sure what's going on with me losing half of my post when I hit reply. It's very frustrating but at least it doesn't happen very often.

                    Ginger, we all get into funky moods sometimes and it always good to talk about your feelings. I would definitely look into an e bike, at least it will get you outside!

                        Yes indeed we did! It was super cold and super windy! There were patches of black ice on the roads, too. The local TV weatherman said yesterday that we have had significantly more cold days this December than is usual. We are having a moderate stretch for the next few days but it will be marked with rain. Then next week we are back to the deep freeze.

                        Rava, thanks for including the link to the Ebike. I am going to check it out today. I didn't realize they could be so light and foldable for transport.

                        Jude, that is really frustrating about your posting difficulties! I wonder why at the ends of the affected posts a number shows up instead of your content?

                        Ginger, the ebike is definitely not a perfect replacement for getting out and hiking. However, maybe you can work both into your routine alternatively. The ebike may be a temporary solution.


                        24 more for all of us please and thank you.

                            I hate driving when there's black ice dill, I'm at the point now where I just don't travel if the roads are bad. The cold is a bit easier to take if it's not windy, otherwise the wind just makes the cold worse. We've got a couple of cold days early this next week as well, then back up to more moderate temps.

                            Those numbers at the bottom of your posts are strange Jude, maybe give the techs a message about it. In the meantime, just do additional posts to let us know what you're thinking or doing.

                            We're off to the city this morning to attend the funeral of Bubba's Great Aunt, she was 99 and passed away peacefully last week. They weren't really close but it's a chance to get together with a bunch of relatives that we haven't seen for a while even if it's a sad occasion for it.

                              Good morning Cafe. Cowboy, Sorry about Bubbas Great Aunt but when you think about living to 99 and passing away peacefully in her sleep sounds like a life well lived. More of a celebration than a sad occasion. We should all pass away peacefully in our sleep when it’s our time. Dill my folding e bike is heavy like 70 pounds. The fact that it folds makes it super nice to throw in the car. Right now they are 1,500 but I got it on sale for 1000. Thats a good price for an e bike. Some of the fancy ones go for about 3,000. Ginger I hope the knee is doing ok until you get seen by your husband’s doctor. Jude so sorry you are losing your posts. That is weird. Speaking of weird I am getting a bit concerned over the drones that are flying all around the US. What the heck?? Very unsettling to me but I will not drink over it. Wishing everyone a great Saturday. 24 more please and thank you.

                                Rava, sometimes your post sound exactly like something I'd write or was thinking! It's uncanny.

                                Definitely thinking about the ebike idea. I have a regular bike here that I can "kinda" ride. My balance is kind of iffy on a bike but that's nothing new! I've been that way my whole life.

                                I woke up craving a bottle of wine. What the fudge! I will NOT fall prey to the poison

                                Waves all!

                                Lunch with my lady friends today. I'll take another day!
