Serena & Jack

As many of you know this is one

of my favorite pictures of Serena,

She loved her "Hippie Jacket".

****

I sewed the smiley face on it , then we added an

American flag to the back- so it would look like my

jacket and then she wanted something to sparkle,

so I added the silver stars on the lapels.

****

I am sure a lot of you will also remember that she

loved her hats .

*****

Pay close attention to the clothing ..

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!

I am spending the next couple of days with foot propped up

and iced down.. When I dropped the can of dog food on it ,

I thought maybe I broke one of the small bones in the top

of the foot.. Then I dropped an ice pack (chunk) out of

the freezer onto the same foot -- ($&!^$*!*^

Foot is swollen and very very sore.

I can't get shoes on right now..

*****

I don't imagine that doing the Make A Wish-

shop til you Drop on Wednesday did it much good either.

But there is no way I was going to miss the shopping spree

with my first Make a Wish Kid. He had a great time

and got so many things that HE WANTED. He was

smiling all day, but I think the biggest smile was when

the big black limo pulled up in front of the

restaurant to take him shopping.

*****

Thursday I got the injection in the knee and while I was there -

they x-rayed the foot - that is how I know it is NOT broken.

BUt I did some nerve damage.

So here I am walking around with one shoe on

and using that damned cane again. Next Thursday

I go back for the 2nd injection in the knee.
