We had a great time in S. California celebrating Danielle's 40th. The weather cooperated and cooled off nicely after the sun set. She had a fun band, the most delicious birthday cake, and I saw a couple of friends from high school that I haven't seen since TG's baby shower.
On another note, I went to the foot doctor the morning we left. He took an xray that showed something suspicious between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal, and after getting a CATscan, it turns out that I have torn several ligaments and have very bad sprain. I have to wear a removable cast for the next few weeks. But now my foot hurts more than it did, in places that never hurt before. Which doesn't make me want to wear it. And since it's removable, it's easy to talk myself into taking it off. But everyone around me makes sure that I wear it. I suck at self-discipline. It all comes back to my lack of fortitude.
Despite hobbling around S. California for 2 days, we had a good time. We spent Saturday morning and afternoon with Lauree, Jimmy's sister, her husband Jim, and Eric, Jimmy's brother.
On the way home, we had dinner in Solvang.

Today, Sunday, we are relaxing at home. We intended on going to the hideaway, but with this gimpy leg of mine, I'm far to lazy to make another trip away from homebase. Not to mention that 2 1/2 more hours in the car, after 7 hours yesterday, doesn't sound very appealing. So the remaining of my Sunday will be spent either clicking a remote or clicking a mouse.
Home sweet home!

So sorry for not checking in with you more often but have been so busy around here that i havn't made my rounds to all, winter will be better.I know i am getting awfully house bound and need to get out soon.
As for the cats, i don't worry about the blanket as i worry about the them scratching the couch, have to say they have left it alone.Surprise surprise. But i do cut there nails regularly
Hey there Hopalong.... that's a drag (hahaha get it? drag?) having a bad foot, but make sure you wear the cast and it'll be better soon. meanwhile you can use it as a great reason to be waited on hand and... wait for it... FOOT!
That's so interesting about the Danish town, I'd love to go there.
And WOW that sure is a LOT of fingers!
Happy belated birthday...looks like it was a great,, long celebration. We have been blog friends for a year now because I remember reading about your birthday last year.
There aren't enough fingers in a busload of old people to tell my age.
Boy you don't stop even when your injured! Oh your foot mess sounds so painful!! Yes, you MUST wear your cast. Let it heal and take advantage of this down time.
Hugs,

Why does Solvang ring a bell?? I'm guessing we must have been there years ago but I have no recollections of it beside the name. Wouldn't you think I'd remember THAT WINDMILL??? What a fabulous image!!!
I hate for you that your foot has had all these complications. Pooh! But do what you're supposed to do and continue to pamper it. We need you around for a long time!!
