Hi All,
After a scattering of snow the previous week, this week it looks like spring and nice weather may have arrived and plan to stay. We were able to ride outside several days and sit on the deck and just relax. Steve's brother-in-law Ron stopped by Thursday for a quick visit. Ron is currently on a quest to find an ultra-light canoe and was in our area to check out Hemlock canoes on Friday. Steve treated us to some great grilling for dinner - pork chops and pineapple.
The other big excitement for the week was another medical adventure for GJ. She had tripped last weekend and landed on her hand - which at the time she didn't think anything had happened. Early Monday morning, we ended up taking a trip to the emergency room because of pain and swelling. She went home with a cast from her elbow to the end of her fingers and a "Carter pillow" to support what was a potentially fractured wrist. A Carter pillow looks about like having Sponge Bob wrapped around your arm (see picture).
We ended up back at emergency Monday evening because of more swelling which had made the cast too tight and had to have it adjusted. At the follow-up appointment with the hand specialist, it appears that it may just be badly bruised and she was able to trade out the larger cast for a smaller one. We go back in 2 weeks and hopefully will be able to have the smaller one removed.
Now that the weather has finally turned nice, Steve put up his Christmas present to me in the back yard. It is a very cool wind catcher that is a guy riding a bike. When the wind blows the wheels spin. Steve has apparently named him Lance. :-)
Miles for the week are 73, miles for 2015 are 1,437, and total miles are 13,691.
Take care,
Zelma
