A very quiet 4th of July for Nicky and me.    I had no company and wasn't invited anywhere.    Don't feel bad.   I was actually glad.  Tomorrow Jeff and Kathy are having a family gathering at their home in the afternoon because all of their children and grandchildren are visiting.    Matt and Kauru with Colton and Alana, Shane and Georgina and Sara.     Ya Hoo.  

Last night I went to the Mill Street Players performance.  (A weekly musical event done each year by young people from the area.   Jazz, rock, country, folk - you name it and they dance the whole time.)   I had agreed to sell tickets and figured since I was sitting anyway, it would be OK.   Boy was my foot tired and sore when I got home.   But it was good and the show was WONDERFUL.  I recommend it if you are looking for something to do of a Friday evening.   Starts at 7:30PM at the Plymouth Arts Center.

I did go to church this evening.   I gave communion.   When Fr. Dan gave me the chalice, he saw my foot and said with a goofy grin.  "You didn't shoot yourself again, did you?"   I have been getting a lot of that.  

I have been off of it as much as I can and on the heel in the boot when I have to walk since I got the Xray.   Each day it feels a bit better, but last night was HELL.   I think too much at the Arts Center.

Well, that is my day.   Happy 4th.

Hasn't been the greatest day.    Started off all right.   I had a haircut appointment at 9AM and had breakfast with my hairdresser (she even bought  breakfast).   Did a nice job.  I have a DA in the back.

Went grocery shopping.    All out of beer.  I don't drink beer but like to have it for those that do like it.

Then I went to a condo meeting with our grounds maintenance owner.   As I left, my friend, Peggy, a retired nurse, said that she thought I should get and Xray - 6 days later- .   Well I did what she said and I have a broken bone in my right foot.   Talk about a bummer.   I have one of those boots.   The doctor told the nurse that is is probably as big as me.   But I am managing.  I can walk - using my heel as much as possible and of course walking as little as possible.   My Nicky is going to be very distressed when I don't take him for our usual walks.

I am OK.  Very upset.   I didn't think my bones would break.

Time to take Nicky out an go to bed.   Sleep and rest and good nourishing food are the best medicines.

 Love you all

Did you miss me?   I hope so.   I have spent the last several days,  Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with the Cool family.      The Deeleys know the cools.   Diana Deeley married Philip Cool.   Diana's son Jay, his wife, Reyna and their son Jacob spent the weekend with me to get reaquainted with us again.    I had a Brat Fry on Saturday.    We did church, visited Mother and "toured" Diana's memories on Sunday.   Then they had to leave on Monday.  We did get a second visit with Jeff and Kathy and a tour of Hennings Cheese (they had to get cheese) in on Monday morning.

Diana is just the same as she was as a young girl.   Full of life and ready for fun.

Needless to say,   I am exhausted.   I loved every minute.   Jay looks just like my Bret and he acts like Uncle Jim .

The rest of the week is quiet.   Tomorrow, hair cut and shopping.

Hope all was well with you.
