Mother's Day weekend for us!

Yes, that's Taka there in the Emergency room Friday evening. And true, Zen sits there smiling- because he/we knew no other organs were hurt. However, three fractured ribs will keep Taka moaning and groaning for a while- sudden yelps and grimaces... We don't laugh AT him, we laugh WITH him though he CAN'T laugh because it hurts.



Yes, they had to cut off his shirt. He was on a three legged laddre, on uneven ground with a power tool trimming a tree. He threw the tool WAY far away and tried to fall "carefully" though he got this hurt.



So Taka didn't have to stay in the hospital. He came home, but walking is VERY tedious and painful. Futons are not fun to get down on to... he started out with our driftwood cane, though we've "moved up". He's borrowing Grandmom's cane now.


It also was Grandmom's birthday Friday. Unfortunately she had a hard day that day too. She has diabetes and perhaps over insulated, and had a low. Wore her out... Her 89th birthday! She's here with Pattie- Peppermint Pattie (she also has Charlie Brown who can't jump up on her lap like Pattie!)


And a little look into Santa Cruz weirdness. Check out the car I found parked at the Courthouse! "Midget Mobile"! If you click on it you can get an even closer look at all those little- what do you call them? those TROLLS!!! - a trip of a car!!!
