Hi, E. I definitely agree! We had an ice storm Tuesday into Wednesday of last week, and here, most of the sidewalks are never cleared, but even if they are, it's difficult to clear ice, so it's been a while since I've been out. I've done a lot of reading lately, too, and I love Bookshare so much! I, too, love to cook, and I get excited each time I see a new cookbook come up on the site. Bookshare opens a new world to me that I thought I'd never have. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype mercy0421 AIM mercylab421 http://juliemorales.avonrepresentative.com/ Currently in Winchester Regional, Virginia Clear, 37°F Wind:S-170° at 7mph It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 12:59 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] thank you bookshare friends It has been very cold here for the past two weeks, too cold for any of the ice build up on my little town's sidewalks to melt. Some folks do a good job keeping their sidewalks clean but others do less well. I have been staying home a lot in this snowy weather and reading. Mostly I have been validating. All of the reading has been bookshare books. Winter is my emotionally most difficult season. Somehow I am happier when I can get out and do more, hike, garden and just be outside more. I know I go out some in winter but it is not the same. The pleasure I have from reading is due to all of you and all those others involved with bookshare. Thank you so much. A special thanks to those who have worked on cookbooks. I do love cooking and the ethnic and vegetarian contributions are just wonderful. Yes the baking stuff is great too. (grin) Again you are all wonderful. E. To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
