August 31, 2011 ~ Wednesday

Good-bye August; I'm sorry to say I can't say I'm sorry to see you leave!

Judy had a "crash and burn" yesterday.  She was talking on the phone with her sister and was in a hurry, stepping over the dog fence, to "rescue" Lucy from ants........and she tripped on the fence and down she went.  She ended up with a horrible bruise behind a knee and up her thigh....I got her onto her chair and on ice for the knee.......she is better this morning than I thought she would be.  She has been hurting pretty badly after helping her Dad most days but this didn't seem to add A LOT to her "usual" pain level now...........I MADE her promise me to use the gate from now on.......long legs or not, it's easy to trip on those darn fences.....since I have very SHORT legs, I ALWAYS use the gate....I think that's what the gates are for!!!!!

This is what I sit in when I'm outside.....I can still rock~
This is the view to the left from Judy's Dad's driveway...even though there are 100s of houses in the community, his house is near the desert so I guess it's not surprising that a Bobcat would come into his backyard......you can hear coyotes howl at night.


I discovered this TREASURE when I visited a second mall last week, much to my delight.  That huge bag of  "just out of the cooker" kettlecorn was ONLY $6.00!!  There was a line to buy it....all women in the line!  (I still have about half of it left and it's still nice and fresh!)

  1. Oh, ouch! That bruise looks awful! I hope Judy will be okay. Sue, have you and Judy done any BBQing since being in AZ? Or is it too hot? When will it cool off down there? Any special Labor Day plans?
