Like 2005, I could not afford to go see my daughter and family in 2006.
My daughter has a great job getting paid well and a great husband that
is a chef and also gets paid well. So once again, they gave me a great
Christmas present, a trip to Florida. It was wonderful spending time
with my daughter, her husband and my beautiful 6 1/2 year old
granddaughter.
I'm doing fairly well with a lower pain level than I've had for a good
while. I don't have to take as many drugs. I'm walking more and more
(with walker) and have found that since the surgury I had on my left
foot, I can stand for a while now without assistance. I'm hoping that
I can get back to a cane again soon.
Then, who knows? I do still want to ride again someday, and maybe
participate in NART as a rider instead of just going to the party. Now
that I'm retired, work isn't keeping me from going anywhere so if I can
get caught up on my bills, maybe I'll see some of you all some time.

Good news, indeed, Stan! Happy New Year; hope to be able to see you
posting once in a while around here.

Seconded. All the best, Stan. Thanks for keeping us updated on what's
happening in your life. It's great to know that your spirits are back
up and that your hopes are elevated from where they were last year.

Good to hear from you Stan and glad to hear things are looking a
little better for you.
Of course we'd all like to see you join one of our meets as a rider,
but you are welcome anytime and using any transportation.
We have a meet scheduled for June in Moab Utah. If the timing works
out, why not join us?
