September 2, 2013 at 9:02 pmIt originally looked like it was going to be a quiet weekend. Everyone was away camping and I stayed home, with no car, with the dogs. The thought was awe, peaceful..
Then Sunday night unexpectedly while walking the dogs, at dusk, I mis-stepped in a small pothole, twisted & chipped a bone in my ankle, and badly bruised the other knee as I went down …
So today when everyone came home spent the afternoon and early evening in emerg. Now I’m sporting a new fashionable boot that looks like something out of a transformers movie! π
