Nothing wrong with her legs and hips!<br /><br />And Minneapolis does have a number of tall buildings -- I'm going to guess maybe 8 or 9 "skyscrapers". Not a really big city, but a sweet, rather tidy area. And honestly, the view from the 48th floor (the building I'm in has 50) is spectacular. Given Minneapolis' four active seasons, the whole world (or at least my bit of it) is laid out.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-20202056447531931852011-05-27T06:35:57.182-07:002011-05-27T06:35:57.182-07:00Normally I would agree with this elevator etiquett...Normally I would agree with this elevator etiquette.

Then she would have shapely legs like me :) stairs, the maker of good legs.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-34271408525969085092011-05-27T04:24:53.680-07:002011-05-27T04:24:53.680-07:00I was on a cruise ship that had the same carpeting...I was on a cruise ship that had the same carpeting on every floor.
