Hello from New Orleans!

[Galen]

I found you guys just now while icing my (self-diagnosed) broken toes. Ouch! But it was a good way to learn not to rush down the stairs, lol.

I am retired and widowed, a native and lifelong resident of south Louisiana, and, of necessity, a veteran hurricane survivor. I enjoy group exercise, reading books and blogs, studying bridge, participating in women's groups, volunteering in the church nursery, and spending time with family, friends, and pets.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

Galen - Aloha from The Big Island of Hawaii. I'm a newbie on here too. Hope your toe gets better.

I love, love the Big Island of Hawaii! When my visit ended, I cried. I wanted to stay forever.

Hi, Betty! We're neighbors. I recently adopted my dog and cat from the awesome Animal Shelter of Southern Mississippi in Gulfport.

Thanks, Ossian! The ice worked its magic, though I have to admit I likely wouldn't have even needed it a few decades ago.

A welcome to this settlement of seniors, Galen.

 

[Shalimar]

Hope your toes feel better soon!

 

[Shalimar]

Don't feel too badly Galen, I broke my baby toe when my eleven year old son fell on it. He was all uncoordinated big feet at the time. I was young at the time. Lol.
