We have ice rinks and even a place to ski, but all in St. Louis, which is 100 miles from where I live. I'm really out in the middle of nowhere in a town of 4000, next to the biggest town in the area, of about 20,000. Since my petsitting keeps me busy nearly every single day of the year, I can't get into St. Louis to do much, even see my mom. *sad face*Karen Orozcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119330782581322240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-19853093942293935292014-02-06T12:04:48.339-05:002014-02-06T12:04:48.339-05:00For me - I do good just walking in snow & ice....For me - I do good just walking in snow & ice...
