Hi Germaine - Welcome to the list and welcome to Nova Scotia! We moved here almost 20 years ago and now I wouldn't leave (although it did take a year before anyone invited us over for dinner. It does take time) Where abouts do you live? We are in the beautiful Annapolis Valley in Wolfville. I hope that your husband is feeling better. Keep in touch. Barb Bates ------------------ Hi, My name is Germaine, (67yrs). Last year, my husband Bill (68yrs) was diagnosed with "parkinsonism" (Is that the same as a little bit pregnant?) I joined the list because I need support and can't get it here. We retired to a small coastal town in Nova Scotia, 3 years ago. In perfect health. But being "from away", it's not easy to be accepted by the locals, and I just hunger for a good old chat, with a friend, over a cup of tea. The list is the next best thing, believe me. Thanks for listening, Germaine
