Just a Quick Update

I got my cast off on Thursday. I have a cumbersome boot, but at least I don't have to sleep in it.

I went straight to bridge---so much fun after being housebound. When Butch picked me up after, I got such a surprise. Sandy and Elizabeth were in the car!!! Of course, I cried! They came to town to help me. They've been waiting on me hand and foot! I'm sure Butch is glad for the break.

She brought this:


It took 15 1/2 man hours to do it. That's counting all of us working on it. 1000 pieces in 5 1/2 hours. I NEVER do puzzles---mainly because I don't have the patience. When vacationing with my friends, they usually get one going. I sit down with them for about 10 minutes---or until I find one piece. Then I say, "okay, that's it for me!"

This was so fun because it gave us something to do while we were just sitting around talking. I'm still supposed to be sitting around anyway.

I might just start another one! Thanks Sandy! But mostly, thanks for the surprise of your visit. I'd say that was the BEST medicine!
