SO............I had a little mishap this morning. Woke to a beautiful sunny, Sunday morning. I said, "any body for blueberry pancakes?" I got three yes-es on that.
After I put the first one in the pan I went for the last jar of home made strawberry jam. Tom's favorite! I have some unusually high cupboards. I stored the jams and jellies on a top shelf. Why not. You only retrieve a jar now and than so seemed like the place to store them to me.
Well it turned out to NOT be such a good idea. I was standing on the counter, looking at the jar of jam in my hand. Turned to tell Tom, he better enjoy this one as it was the last. Next thing I knew I was trying to save the jar from hitting the floor and breaking as I felt an excruciating pain in my ankle. Dang...there went the last jar of strawberry jam and my ankle.
Now where is the video camera when something like this happens. I mean old granny flying off the counter had to be quite a sight. I at least deserve a pair of wings for trying. Oh and by the way....I inherited my graceful traits from my beloved MOTHER. Her middle name is GRACE. I passed it on to a few of my children too. No Names. You know who you are. : )
A trip to ER accompanied by two of my girls (Sanj & Kelly) and grandsons (Mitch & Kalan), proved to be entertaining all by itself. X-rays showed no broken bones, that's good, and the usual instructions for a sprain. And a little Elmer's glue, oh, I mean crazy glue on a minor cut on my hand.
Sanj called Tom from the hospital to let him know everything was okay. I heard her tell him " I have some good news and some bad news. The good new is she has no broken bones. The bad news is they have to do brain surgery, because there must be something wrong with her that she would try to save a jar of jam instead of herself when falling off the counter."
My defense is........... I didn't have a whole lot of time to think that out clearly. : )
Thanks boy's for spending your afternoon with your Granny at the ER. Love You!
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....

Oh gosh, Mom! I'm so glad you're okay! You frighten me! I think I got your gracefulness as well! My computer is on the fritz so I will be out of comission for a bit! I guess I'll have to call and catch up on your blogs later! I'll miss my daily read!
The incident that comes to mind when you acknowledged your inherited gracefulness is you on a folding ladder, washing windows......Than you were folded in the ladder with a dislocated finger. You'll have to take that up with "GRANNY" hee hee
yeah...the ladder thing is a little too familiar. Yesterday, Lester wouldn't let me get on the ladder to wash a window!! HMMMM ....wonder why!!
I talked to Granny and she tried to say that she doesn't do that stuff any more. So I brought up a few recent "Oh Shit" moments and she said well okay, I forgot.
