Keep Climbing!
Once upon a time my knees decided they needed a little….. encouragement. So I started wearing knee braces under my slacks. At first they were stiff, then downright uncooperative. But eventually I found a pair that works beautifully when I’m walking, working out, or gliding along on the elliptical. What a relief! Last year Carl…
Here We Are, Nashville!
What’s that all about, Donna? Oh, it’s not the Grand Ole Opry — though yes, we do have tickets for its 100th Anniversary! Yee haw! And it’s not about taking a scenic drive through the Great Smoky Mountains (though I wouldn’t mind a stop for some southern barbecue along the way). No, this trip is…
