Kate,

Sorry to hear about your recent struggles. We all know how you feel. I decided to bake pumpkin pecan bread yesterday and darn near wore my arms out. Things are certainly not like they used to be, but we learn to adapt and overcome!

Oh by the way, I found a really inexpensive set of walking poles at Target, I can't wait to give them a try. My daily walks were become a bit of a struggle, but it's my favorite form of excercise, other than working outside in the garden. I'll let you know how they work out. Thanks again for the suggestion!

It's getting colder by the day here in NJ, I keep thinking of you and the warmer weather your enjoying right now!

Rachel
