Gramma Update

So on Monday we went back to the Doc for a six week checkup. They took x-rays again and he said it is healing nicely. Now she can walk on it with the boot on. Still using the chair, but walking some too. Baby steps, baby steps. Here she is upright, which we haven't seen for six weeks. Yay! We go back again in four weeks and he wants her to try walking without the boot in 3 1/2, cause he said he's going to throw it away when she sees him next. Yikes! Cross your fingers and pray for her.

In other news, the snow melted, but it's still freezing every night. The sun came out for a little bit today, but not long enough.

We have had quite a few deer feeding right up next to the house lately. One of these two was eating the frozen flowers in Gramma's flower pot on the deck rail, but I wasn't fast enough to get a pic. Fun to watch though.

Reckon that's all for now, catch ya on the flip flop. Be good, be careful and be sure to get your boat inside before it gets snowed on. Ta.

Snow?

Well it's started. I'm not ready. I'm usually ready.

Morning.

Early afternoon.

Pretty? Pretty ugly. The boat isn't inside, I've got Jess' lawn mower torn apart on the garage floor, my 4 wheeler up on blocks not running and it looks like I'm going to have to pull the engine on the bobcat to fix it. With the bobcat broken down I can't spread manure on the hay fields and if the snow stays it'll be too muddy to clean it up anyway. Haven't done anything to get ready for deer hunting yet and the dock is still in the lake. Oh well, life happens and the only thing to do is chuckle and move forward. On a positive note, Gramma sees the doc tomorrow and we hope he'll say she can start walking on her foot. With the boot on of course. This will be a major milestone and a welcome event. So cross your fingers and pray for her. Anywho, that's all for now. Ta.

Grampa Bakes A Cake

So Gramma wanted a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Easy-squeasy, right? Buy a cake mix and some ready made frosting. What could go wrong? Me, that's what can go wrong. There are too many rules in this baking business. Why can't you just brush on some olive oil, salt and pepper and slap it on the grill? That's how things are meant to be cooked. Right?

It actually tasted good, but when I took it out of the pan, it broke. What? Yeah and a chunk fell off of the side. Heidi thought that this was a real baking break-through and should be included in all cooking endeavors, but I think I'll try and skip that part in the future. Anyway I tried to fill the hole with frosting, but it just wasn't fluffy enough. Another baking adventure gone awry. Maybe I'll try sticky buns, or not.Ta.
