Skal! It is evening!



Good Evening! Am now home; after the visit to the Doctor and X rays. My doctor was not overly pleased with me; that I had 'let the foot go'; rather than going to Emerg. He suggested that I may have either torn or broken my bit tendons / ligaments; or there are a few bit bones that are also broken. Hmmmmm. That may mean a cast; and if that is the case, he will call me tomorrow. It is nice to be home again; and yes, have my foot elevated; had ice on it earlier and that felt really good. Have also applied a tensor bandage and the black elastomag wrap on my foot; to give it better support.

The visit at my daughter's yesterday was perfect. Her in-laws were there for the delicious lunch and fun time as well. We enjoyed roast beef (wonderful and thinly sliced), on fresh rolls, along with sauteed flavourful mushrooms, tids of browned scrumptuous onions, and the juicy condiments, such as mustard, dijon honey mustard (Mmmmm!), mayonnaise, a special curry sauce (that was exquisite!), and yummy pickles. The green salad had 'everything' in it; so healthy! We and the other set of grandparents, each bought a bottle of white wine. Not surprising that the 6 of us appreciated both the Australian and the Argentian Chardonnay to the fullest. My daughter gave the 2 'Moms' a beautiful bouquet of Spring Mums and other flowers. We gave her and her hubby a 'care package' (rarer items; much like we did when we went to their house for lunch about 10 days ago) of fresh veggies, fruit, and salad makings. The twins are so dear too. We were only there for a few hours; and the time just zoomed by us; also, took some neat digital photos of the 'babies!' Just have to learn now how to add pictures to the blogs!

Here are some other tidbits / bittids to share from the Vision Channel. I only saw the last bittid of 'Hour of Power'; and basically it was about having FAITH. Also, with Joyce Meyer, her message was / is about the 'unseen' Faith; and that when you totally forgive others, God can now do something on your behalf. Always believe in the positive; even in 'times of waiting'. With 'The Living Truth, Hilary Price (Charles' wife) gave an awesome message to Mothers; inasmuch as it was 'Mother's Day'. She was referring to the Biblical story about Hannah and her being 'barren'. Well, the word, 'barren' has other meanings as well; because 'barren' can also refer to what is 'missing' from someone's life; as in not letting go; and / or allowing / enabling other circumstances to CONTROL you. ie sadness, bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, whatever. She basically said, "Hurt people, hurt people". That is so true; and we have just recently seen that type of 'barren' behaviour.

Alan is cooking up dinner; ie frozen prawns (from Costco!) avec garlic, herbs, and butter. It smells soooooo good.

As much as I appreciate the doctor's wise advise, I am hoping that I do not hear from him; because that will mean a cast on my foot / leg. However, if that is the case, I suppose it will help 'set' whatever broken bones correctly, and thus be 'better set' for later life!

Am going to enjoy a glass of red (South African) wine; think a tidbit glass would hit the spot! Plus, the news is on; horrible what has happened in China - The Earthquake. We have much to be thankful for!

Good Night and God Bless.
