Ok, I've been back since last Sunday, but life's got in the way!
I'd love to have a routine.....that would last at least 2-3 days!
On the 14th I went to have my stitches out!
I was there 2 HOURS!
2 hours people.....I only had 9 stitches!
That's how tight they were put in! I guess so I didn't come apart at the seams!
The drive down to my moms was painful!
There's really no place to put your foot up when you're driving!
I had to buy Advil at a gas station and pay boot leg prices!
Anyhoo, the foot quit swelling every time I didn't have it elevated on Sunday, August 19th.
This past Tuesday I quit wearing the 'boot' cause my foot fit in a shoe, and I could move my toes!
I went to GP to see the specialist on Thursday.
I was at the hospital for 3 hours, had lunch with Vanessa, went to Service Canada to renew my passport, and got to Fairview at 5:30pm to leave my van at the dealers!
Told them to call me when it was fixed!
I have no cruise control (again), it's a dust collector, and I have odd ticking noises when I turn left or right!
No one's called!
I've been getting to work before 7 this week, and staying until after 4!
I'm not complaining, my desk is almost cleaned off!
No one does my job while I'm away!
I think I'll go to work Monday, even though it's a holiday.....there should be no one there except the bosses and the phones should be quiet!
I've got the obligatory holiday pictures for you!
Fun was had by all!
There's nothing crafty in this post, so you can quit reading now if you like!
Kalen was there for a few days!
He went to Shambhala which was close to my mom's then caught a ride!
I put him on the bus on the 18th!
Before he left, some of us did a brewery tour!
The mountain was on fire where we held the family reunion!
Here's a picture at night, we watched it flare up!
I got new shoes......
The one on the left is my lovely boot, so I don't put pressure on my toes!
The one on the right is for walking on the treadmill, much safer than bare feet!
Some cousins and I did a tour of Nelson!
Took the ferry over to Crawford Bay!
These vehicles were a popular sight in my travels!
There is Sand Sculpting going on in Creston at the new Ramada!
I also spent a few minutes with my blog buddy Myrna!
Who has been much busier than me since I got home!
The drive home was wonderful!
I drove up through Radium Hot Springs;
it's been so long I had forgot about these
Had to take a samll detour to attend my oldest Grandsons graduation!
(I'll tell you that story one day!)
I met Vanessa there, she chaperoned the grad party!
The graduate with his escort!
Vanessa with the Graduates younger sister;
who got her dress off the 'Bargain' rack, cause she hates dresses!
It was gorgeous!
'The Graduate' & his gramma Gail!
Interesting pose, but in my defence it was probably the 30th time someone said 'smile'!
He's on his way today to start college next week! I'm so proud!
Home now, my house is a disaster, I'm going to look after some stuff in the garden today, sort the bottles, and make some rhubarb pies!
Hope you've all stayed out of trouble, and are well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
