I guess it's because of such decisions that we have to make on our own at a tender age without Mom or Dad to help us out that shape our lives. P.S. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed my story of the Blizzard of '77 for the second time around. I knew that I was repeating myself but we've had a number of new subscribers to our list since I first posted it and I posted it again in the event that some of you/them might not know what can happen in winter in the Niagara County area. I've alway maintained that surviving winter around here builds character! vee
