Chatty,
I pray you get stronger and stronger and better than new, asap!
WB and I live in what they call the southerntier around here. We're not far from the area's major ski resorts. I love those mountain chalet's, too. I love the smell of woodburing stoves. I love the taste of marsh mallows and hot chocolate. It's okay with me that there's little snow on the ground. I'm fine with it!
