Hi, I am Joan. I live in North Las Vegas, NV with Dolly Dee & Desi Lou (my little bundles of love packed into such a small body) .
The weather here was pretty nice today. Cold here is nothing compared to the humid cold where I lived all of my life until almost four years ago. It has been getting in the high 30s some of the past nights, but all too soon, we should be having 110 again during the days. I am on disability from spinal injuries sustained in an rear-end collision in May of 2002 and another in April of 2005. I moved from the San Diego here to the Las Vegas area for my health - mostly for the mold allergies that had my days numbered if I didn't move here. Besides trying to do things while Dolly & Desi are entertaining me with their antics, I do try to do some volunteer work. I am currently the Board President for my internal HOA (everything within the walls of our sub-community) and was very recently also voted as Board President for my Master HOA (all the plants and sidewalks outside the sub-community walls. I am also a Facilitator for a local Lewy Body Dementia Caregiver Support Group, and answer calls that come in to the Lewy Body Dementia Association needing some support and information about the disease. In between that I try to keep my pain level down, and will most likely be undergoing more extensive spine surgery sometime in the next few months.

I'm new at the list and am curious where you all live and what you do and all that sort of thing. I live in Central Oregon where today it is snowing a very wet, warm snow. Slush all over the place. I much prefer colder snows. Deep enough to bury my wee Ceci today if I let her outside, which doesn't happen here unless someone is with her. We have hawks and eagles and coyotes, and the occasional cougar, so she is never outside without a keeper. Sometimes I really wish for a warm winter home somewhere in the south states, but it isn't financially possible. I am still working long past retirement. Type appraisals for a guy that lives and works in Sacramento, CA. Have really loved all the pictures of your babies! We have just one dog now. Usually have a large outdoor dog to keep coyotes, etc away, but none now. Our last guy died last summer of old age... Hard to see them go. Well, how's about finding out about you guys...
