Broken Right Arm



Christopher and Ann went sledding yesterday. They got one run in. At the end of that run, wham, right into a fence. Christopher broke his arm. He suffered a subklkclklkjdfular fracture. It sounds kind of like radio static when the doctor says it. The break is right above his elbow. They had to do surgery and pin it. He and I spent the night in the hospital. He's doing quite well. We got to the ER by 5:00 p.m. and he was out of surgery and in his room on the pediatric unit by 10:00 p.m. it was nice to be taken care of so quickly and so kindly.

The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceili...

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
