If this isn't a stupid shoe, I do not know what is. No wonder some men think women are silly. These are absurd and very expensive. I pity any female who would attempt to wear these much less walk in them. OK, I will admit it I am bored silly... I have been all most house bound for close to three weeks.. doing everything and taking care of the man...grateful he is doing well but B O R E D. This too will pass meanwhile I am commenting on stupid shoes.

We've turned the corner ..... healing in progress
Two screws and one plate later my husbands ankle is on the mend. He is getting along as well as he can be at this point without a lot of pain... I am so grateful for that and for everything going so well. Life does have its ups and its downs... you never know what you will be faced with. It is a beautiful late April Sunday here in Atlanta and things are much better.

Santa Maria et Al
General Hospital continues here at my house. When we last left our story, the Man is in bed with an unset broken ankle... the story line continues as we attempt to reduce swelling and rid his system of aspirin he takes daily....Thursday's episode will include a visit to the bone Doc where we learn if our hero will require surgery to repair his ankle ( we are pretty sure it will ) this will occur on Friday. Meanwhile, the floor that we had put down prior to broken bone remains unfinished and five calls to the a** who put it down remain unreturned... as one of my fellow Georgia girls once observed : a good man is hard to find. Expanding on that, I will say a good ( fill in the blank) is hard to find. General Hospital isn't fun but I know it could be much worse. The ankle will mend and things will return to normal. GE just laid my poor next door neighbor off... he faces Cancer surgery in a few weeks... he is 50+ making a good salary and about to be out of the office to attend to a health problem.. the company acted in a cold calculated way by getting rid of him. I will return to junking and thrift store haunting one day.. and my post will focus on old china, vintage books and other delights.. life can change from one minute to the next.. what ever it is you are dealing with can be put in the proper perspective my unseen events ..

Did you ever do Sun-In?
This stuff works about as well as spraying water on your hair, I think. We had great faith in it back when it came out, and we were all eager to try it. My sister and I spent most of our summers hanging out at the neighborhood pool so sun we had plenty of. We never gave a thought to the pool chlorine and what lovely colors it would turn our hair. So we got together the $2.99 or so the stuff cost and purchased some with dreams of blonde beauty and thoughts of how chic and daring we were. I do not remember much but the profound disappointment.. Sun-In failed to transform my life and my hair. Most beauty products sell hope, but like Sun-In fail to deliver. Read most any ad for any beauty product it promises so much but delivers little no matter how much it costs. Oil of Olay has some great far fetched ads that promise to take years and years off ... hope and magical thinking ... word has it Sun-In is making a comeback...

Things get interesting *&^!*
Heavy weather rolled through my neighborhood yesterday... rain and high winds. A huge live pine tree up rooted in my back neighbors yard and went down hanging up in surrounding trees.. it will be a big job to take it out. The rain slowed then stopped by late afternoon just in time for my husband to get home from work. He was out in the yard when my son who was in the house along with me said to me " Dad fell". Words you don't ever want to hear. The resulting visit to the emergency room produced one broken right ankle. When my son and I reached him after he fell the first words out of mouth were, " I've broken my ankle." He was correct. Thankfully it is a simple break of his right fibula which with time should heal well. How he will adjust to the hitch in his get along well, we will see... among other things he'll not be able to drive his beloved German sports car since it is stick shift... my son ever the helpful one offered to drive the car while his Dad recovers. Things can change quickly. I will be nurse and step fetch it for awhile....
happier times ... when both ankles were working........ at least he did not hit his head or any other parts we are thankful for that... please be careful out there

98 % Finished and Why One Shouldn't tell Friends about One's Blog
Lots of dust but worth it ...
You should not tell family and friends if you have a blog.. 100% I promise they will read what you write and make comments. Such as you lie on your blog....... for example when you post you will plant flowers on Good Friday and then don't due to your life spinning out of control, etc. Life is short.. plant flowers when you can. Passover and Easter a time to enjoy family and friends... all my best Karen

Project Underway
A new floor is going in here beginning today. Work begins at 9 A.M. chaos has all ready started... lots of stuff has been moved. I have to catch my cats and put them in "jail" until the work is finished for the day. They may be finished by Friday....( cross your fingers for me). I will be reading all my favorite blogs but I am not sure about posting. I will wish you a Happy Easter and Passover now. We are escaping to the Mountain house on Friday with my sister and her family for the weekend.
If you leave an Easter basket out, I hope the Bunny brings you lots of goodies.

Reality
It is Spring, however it seems like eternal winter in many ways. The mass shootings that have occurred in the past month are not hard to understand. The fear and the hate along with this rumor among the gun lovers that there will be a ban on guns is fueling a terrible reality. The United States of America has too many guns and an endless supply of unstable people willing to use guns to kill. I refuse to accept that there are no signs that a person is about to go off and kill scores of innocent people. People who have a fixation on guns who own guns are out there using them. Why can't we as a society do something to at least stop some of this terrible violence? Over 40 people have died in the last month in the U.S. in mass shootings. Those so in fear of a gun ban need to get a better grip on reality.. hunters can say all they want about responsible gun ownership.. to me hunting isn't a sport.. no one has to hunt to put food on the table.... so we have our Second Amendment right and unstable people using their guns to hunt and kill us. It has to stop.
