[mountainstate] Fw: Our City

[john gerhardt]

Hi all,

I hightailed it out of WV the only chance I had on Monday.  I checked with
Greyhound three times and they said they were running but when I got to the
station they were cancelled!  So John drove about 2/3 of the way to PA and
my cousin was able to pick me up from there and take me to my sister's house
in Enon Valley, about 30 miles from anywhere!  But we had a relatively light
snow of 24 inches then about 10 more Tues/Wed but they are used to it. I am
using my shoveling skills on the walks, deck, etc.

She had a mastectomy and can't do that sort of thing, or almost no lifting
with her right arm.  The good news is there was nothing seen in the lymph
nodes so we are thanking God for that.
