trip to Portrero, Guanacaste

summer 2009 in Longview

orchids bloomed again

This beautiful orchid languished in my patio for months and suddenly burst into bloom again!

broken brenda

5 weeks ago today I fell and broke my hip on my way to water aerobics. Exercise is just not worth the pain! There was a construction wire fence in the road and somehow despite watching my feet I didn't see it and got tangled up in it and fell down hard. Had a hip pinning at a local hospital affiliated with Baylor - and feel like the care was excellent. I'm up and walking with a walker and looking forward to being able to put weight on the injured leg in a week or so. See the doctor today for the first time since it happened.

Ouch! Still can't do stairs but I'm ready for the day they let me put weight on the leg with a new quad cane. Still taking "showers" in the carport.
