Mari replied to Frances Witzel's discussion Energy Levels? in the group Over 50 crowd"Thank you Frances for filling us in, I for one am breathing a sigh of relief.

ame replied to Frances Witzel's discussion Energy Levels? in the group Over 50 crowd"nothing like trying to work out in the cold and wind to totally sap your energy - and then there is the dark. six horses sounds like an awful lot to be managing by yourself, particularly through the winter. i cannot imagine trying to keep 6 of them…"
