Updates! Updates! Get your updates here!

Happy Labor Free Day to everyone. Stay safe! Don't drink and drive! Don't use your cell phone while driving!

So, what's been going on with all of you lately? We've been having an interesting time. As most of you know my husband, Keith, where's a brace on his right leg. Well, to add insult to injury he twisted his left ankle getting out of his car a few weeks ago, at the school, and injured his left foot! At first they thought it was just a sprain but had to wait a few days, to let the swelling go down, before they could Xray it. We finally got it xrayed and the doc said he saw no breaks or anything. Then the next afternoon we get a call that another "real" doctor had looked and found a small fracture in his foot.

Okay, so now we go to the orthopedic doc who gives him this big boot (sort of like one of my old ski boots but higher) to put on the left leg. So, here he is trying to get around with both legs trapped in one device or another. He had to take a few days off away from the school and then when he went back I drove him and spent the days there. He wasn't confident in his balance at that time. So, while there to make myself useful I cleaned his office. Now, I'm not saying it was horrible, but when I was done (it took me the entire week) the secretary of the dept. brought people down to see the office! Everyone cheered me! Comments like "wow" I can actually see the floor!" or "I can walk through now" and other such things were said. Yeah, it really was a dramatic difference.

Other than that it's still been too hot here for me, but as I keep telling my family back north who is having a good time heckling me when it's only in the 70's and low 80's there....winter is coming! And then it'll be my turn to laugh at them!

I came across this saying the other day and loved it so will end this missive with it.

"Life isn't about how many breaths you take, but about how many moments take your breath away."
