I walked all over the city of York (love the ancient walls!) in the two weeks prior to my DKA hospitalization at home. Probably saved my life! I didnāt even wonder why I was so thirsty 'cos it was so hot.

I was born and grew up in Tacoma, WA, with Mount Rainier just 30 miles awayāMount Rainier in my backyard. When I was a child, it was known as āMount Tahomaā, so named by the Indians and meaning the āMountain that is Godā. Seattle is just 30 miles away from Tacomaāthere in Seattle, I met and married my husband (we were at the university of Washington.) Our 63rd wedding anniversary is in December.

Oh, Trudy, that is a lovely story. And I love the name of your Mountain that is God.

Thank you, Maureen. the mountain has always seemed a bit magical to me, despite or maybe because it is a volcano. Goodness, what a problem if it erupted! I have climbed up as far as the glacier. My brother (a different time) climbed much closer to the top, but had to turn round when he lost a glove. Mount Rainer rises from sea level, which is a real challenge for oneās lungs. We loved the sight of the mountain when I grew up, never taking it for granted.

The coldest I have ever been was in Ohio. Columbus, as it happens.
Iām in a suburb of Toledo, in the shadow of Lake Erie. Our weather is a little more temperate than the rest of the state, and we have the most amazing metroparks. Coming from the Northwest, the great metroparks are so important for me (and my husband and dogs).
I grew up in a Chicago suburb and Lake Michigan influenced our view, weather, and identity. Such a contrast between the densely populated downtown metropolis and the wide open expanse of the lake. The lake also offers great drinking water.
Lake Erie is having a bit of an algae problem at this time. Our well water is great, though!
Parks and dogs . . . hmm. A few years back, our town established a rather nice dog park. They let the school kids name it, and the name they settled on was āCentral Barkā.

I donāt get it? It never gets cold in SF particularly not in the summer? Is there some kind of deeper meaning thatās escaping me?
