Hi,

I will be going on vacation, Wednesday-June 5th, thru Sunday-June 9th. I may have my computer with me, but may not log on when enjoying ourselves.

I am going to Lake George, NY for the Motorcyle Festival. They expect 70,000 people!! Weather is forcasted for 60's and 70's..!!! Perfect for someone with breathing issues.

I'm getting an electric scooter thru a local company, because with my back and knee and hip pain, it will allow me to travel around the festival with our group, and not get too tired out or be in pain, with my ailments, and my COPD.

I'm very excited, and I'm driving the car, and Val is riding her motorcycle. Please pray for a safe 2.5 hours trip for us!!! Thanks!!

Just wanted to let you all know, that I will be gone, but i'm OK!!!

Hugs,

Boo

Have a great time Boo. Put on some loud mufflers, swap out the power plant in that electric scooter and add some cool handle bars and you'll fit right in.

Later kiddo.

Boo, I used to ride a Harley with my ex, and loved every minute of it. I still have a Harley shirt hanging in my closet. Have a great time! We'll miss you, but we'll be praying for your safe return.

May I ask a question please? If you have so much trouble and pain with your back, hips, and knees and obviously COPD, why don't you
have your doctor recommend an electric scooter for you? You would definitely qualify for one. It is a little bit of a process but well worth it. I got mine 3 years ago because of a back injury...I couldn't stand for very long, let alone do much walking. And we didn't even take the COPD into consideration.

Hope you have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation. Karen
