I Think It's Time....

Someone commented the other day that it was time for a new post....and I thought it might be time to show you my ankle at long last....this is what it looks like now. I had a few things to take care of before I could photograph this for ya'll.
There was also a section of first degree burns beyond the edges down the front middle of my foot which was quite sensitive for a long time.

I am back to regular duties, including shovelling snow. I've done the church by myself all week as well as our own driveway, so I'm getting my cardio workout! I'm not too sore either so I must be in some sort of shape... Craig says I have mad-skills! On snowy days they often help with the shovelling which has earned them the contested title of "best kids". Of course everyone piped up that THEY had the best kids....but anyway. At this house...THEY are.

Things are well with us. Joe is very excited to have made the school basketball team. They've been playing intramural basketball for weeks before the holidays and this week's games were also tryouts. Kevin was really annoyed to be relegated to the front seat of the bus and to be annoyed to no end by his seat mate. He doesn't EVER want to have to sit there again!! And Craig...well, he's had a trying time of it this week. ANd now everyone has their face glued to a screen somewhere in the house....including me!!

Time to go make a card, a friend's dad is in the hospital in his last hours. It brings back a lot of memories and emotions. You know just what they are going through as a family right now, all the kids live in the area so no one has to come from far away. All you can do is lift them up and prayer and that has been a big part of this day....

Nice foot,looks like it is coming along just fine. I hope you don't have any lasting issues with it.
As you could hear from my Southern girls, they , unlike us, don't have snow to shovel. It is a fun thing to do once in a while. Everyday might be a bit much though.
Congrats to Joe, a cheer up to Kevin and all the best to Craig, hope they will make the best of it.
Say hi to Ray, love you lots, cya later, Randall.

"You're foot looks swell! Glad it's getting better." - Marten

A man of many words. hee, hee. By the looks of things, I'm glad you didn't post a picture earlier. Euwwwww. But my thoughts echo Martens -- glad it's improving and you're back to your regular habits. I think you're the only person I know that likes shoveling.
Hugs to the boys.
oh, and you too! :D
Love, Marten and Karen

I agree. Your foot looks alot better. I also only know one other person who likes shoveling snow- my neighbour. She's not had the pleasure of snow removal yet this winter. I think she's getting antsy.
Hope you have a great week.
