102 1x

Well, the Vernon contingent arrived in Calgary - pulled by 2 tiny reindeer - but the journey was not without incident. You're not going to believe this... Lynne, Cath and Lucille stopped in Revelstoke to take on supplies and walk the dogs, and while Lucille was walking Coady, she slipped on a patch of ice and fell. After lunch, we took her to Foothills spa this afternoon and she has a hairline fracture in her wrist so she's now sporting a Christmasy red cast on her right arm. No other broken bones but she does have a fat lip and a bruise beside her eye and broken glasses. Linda did really well today - was at Tracy's for 3 hours and didn't complain a bit about not being able to eat. We're hoping that feeding tube will be out before Christmas dinner!

  1. Sounds like Christmas started in more ways than one today! I laughed out loud with the "two tiny reindeer" comment . . .cringed and felt it with the "hairline fracture" comment . . . and cheered out loud with the feeding tube comment and group photo! What a day! So glad you've got friends and family all collecting in one place (but let's see what you can do about not registering anymore of them with the Foothills Spa!!). Hugs , , ,Kim

  5. Good morning you guys. Linda, let your first reach at the dinner table be for the WISHBONE! :) I did something rather exciting this a.m. Called our pension company to get the "package" sent to me. I am SO looking forward to the end of this school year! hugs and love to you all, including the pooches.
