    Cool My New Wheelchair

    So, if you wonder where I've been and what I've been up to...here's a picture or two.

    A wonderful group that helps veterans with specialty wheelchairs, medical treatment, etc gave me this wonderful wheelchair that can go to the beach, through the woods and when I go for rides around town, no sidewalks...no problem. It is a wonderful thing to be able to go to the beach again.

    Congratulations, Connie! That's marvelous - you'll be going through jungles next, hunting for orchids.

    It has definitely crossed my mind...lol. So far though I still have lots of local places to explore. I will have to share some of the pictures of the local parks. I'm having too much fun!

    That's awesome! With a chair like that, you could go "mud bogging" too!

    Only if you are a snail, bug...or anything that might chomp on my orchids. And don't listen to my husband...he exaggerates. LOL I do however laugh like a nut when I ride my new chair around so I may appear slightly off.
