Late January, LAST cast finally came off for poor "old lefty"! Another 8 weeks in a long arm, hot neon pink, "get the heck out of the way" splint.
Mid-February~having fun looking through all of the old records I had and bemoaning the fact that I could no longer listen to them. (All I had to do was wait a bit...it all changed for me, thanks to my dear friends Amy, Michael and Jan :) Developing my "over my dead body pile!
Late March-"old lefty's" 9 month saga on the road to getting better was finally done! Dr. Chan pronounced it as "good as it will ever get". No more casts, no more splints :)
Mid-April-went to Mennonite Relief Sale with $500 in hand to bid on this beautiful blue quilt. Realized when it was all over, that I was about $500 too short :( Next year..... Just wait cause I'll be back!
Last part of May-a peaceful moment in time along the way to find my first lighthouse ever. Owego, NY Flowers left there in remembrance of two very special people in this life, no longer with us.
Last day of May-I found it! The Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The dream of my whole lifetime was finally realized!
June-the front porch of "home, sweet home" on 14th Street in Hutchinson, Kansas.
July 4th-My first big ride since getting hurt...the 20 mile Sterling Bike Hike
First week in August-after a summer of drought conditions, we woke up to one heck of a "gully washer" in our part of the country. How nice to see the water standing in the streets as we all woke up that day.
First week of September- My infamous attempt at being the Kansas State Fair Spelling Bee Champion-went out rather quickly it seemed. Don Etchison, former teaching colleague at Yoder Grade School and fellow participant that day.
Mid-October~at the Haven Fall Festival with 3 of the best friends a person could ever ask for. Annetta, Toni and Joyce. Sitting in our "usual" spot in front of the old Grier Pharmacy building.
First of November-chasing the sunset in the last moments of the day. From the top of Rayl's Hill, Hutchinson, Kansas. God's handiwork at its finest of hours~
December-so thankful for a job that I love to go to each day. What a blessing~I love being called "teacher".
Happy New Year 2013 to all of you out there. God's blessings be upon all of you, my dear friends.
