We had a wonderful time with Roger and Kerry and Katie and the kids yesterday but I unfortunately took a fall. Well, long story short, I went to Emergency today and after an indeterminate x-ray they gave me a CAT scan that showed a hairline fracture. So, am in a knee immobilizer. It could have been much worse!
Good thing Jim's knee is quite a bit better and we only plan to drive a maximum of 6 hours on the way home. And everything is completely level both here and at home in Vancouver.
It's been a wonderful time down here in our desert home and we feel very blessed. This too shall pass.
And now for the good luck. Jim ran into a couple from North Vancouver a week or so ago buying bikes at Walmart. They were down here for only two week and it was cheaper for them to buy bikes than rent them. They sold them to us for less than half price! So, now we have two cool bikes and we will enjoy them next year for sure. They are also a really neat couple and they have already invited us to their place when we return.
And the other good news is Jim was successful in a contract application to B.C. Campus to create an "open textbook" i.e. an online textbook for a second year English course that will be free to all B.C. students. He is very excited about the project!
