Anne, You are so right about the list and you wrote so eloquently. I too feel a bond with others in our PD predicament and it has helped to read thoughts and happenings that are a part of my new life and other lives too. You are in Newfoundland? Are you a native? Is it as pretty there as I have read? Are you always cold or is there a short summer? My map is not near - are you an island or part of a continent?
