Lynn,
Oh I know all about the personal care attendants!  I don't have one but friends of mine do here and I am about ready to strangle them for them!!!  They just want control!  I get so frustrated- but it's NOT me and I just do what I can to keep peace with them- but have thought of telling them off quite often!

I'm off to eat and then back to watch Ed and something else.

> Dear Paige, I am glad you like it there. I do not like storms or snow. I have lived in the south east all my life. and when it does snow here. (which is once every 5 or six years) I can not get out of my Apt. the city has no road equipment to clear the roads. because it does not snow here very much to be worth the money. but we do get thunder storms here in the spring and summer.  which I do not like. but do like it better than snow. I get real cold when it snows. I am so use to the warm weathre, when it does get cold. my teeth chatter away. I am so use to the warm.  If I was liek you and was raised in the cold weathre. I do not

That still fascinates me! :-)  We have a bookstore, resale shop, a workshop, and a Camp right on the property.  There is assisted living as well as independent apartments- which is where I live (independent apts).  I lived in AZ prior to moving back out here.  I grew up in Northern IL, moved to AZ almost 9 years ago and now aam back out East.  It's crazy but I missed the seasons.  I do love snow and storms- which we got neither in central AZ.
