The Perils of Driving a Wheelchair

I Ran over My Toes!

I was quickly turning the chair around to show our elderly dog, Oscar, where the food was....she could not see the food.

I did not realize that the quick turn  would cause my foot to drop off the foot stand but then....

My toes were under a tire!

Awww! it hurts!  I back up quickly so I can Free my toes!

I see mangled toes Ok blood on my toes.

They are healing fine now...Thankfully

It is Surprising how we nurture little parts of our bodies when that little part hurts!

Our Black Bear Sighting

I love spending time with my kids always.....this time we had one of those "I cannot believe what we just saw" moments of a black bear crossing....

This happened as my daughter and I were going to visit my Dad this weekend.  I am so happy that we could see Dad too.

She was driving along when she noticed something black on the side of the road moving. 

She slowed the car when it started crossing the road very fast.....we quickly saw that it was a black bear running across the road, almost exactly as the photobucket pic above.

It went across four lanes and went back into the woods unnoticed by anyone but us. 

Enjoy time with your family when possible.  Watch out for those Bears also!

9-11-01 Date to Remember

Remembering this day....I feel these 10 years have went by so slow and yet so fast.

That day my 11 and 14 year old kids had gone to school so I was watching TV at 8:46am when the first plane hit the World Trade Center.

I immediately thought it had to be an accident.  No one could be so cruel as to take a plane full of people deliberately into a building.....we know the details after that.

Do you remember where you were at?

I am Freezing!

I have felt like this (net) picture lately as I cringe over recent cold weather!  

I woke to 56 degrees.

when I love a comfy 80 degrees!

(however it could be snowing! Keeping in mind the title of my blog)

just a dream picture

 Welcome Ok it is Fall but my bones are yelling,  

"I want Summer back"!!

Maybe I should move to Florida??

Handicap Smart Car Travels

I was saying to Hubs, "Oh dear, we will get hung up on the railroad tracks" as I looked at what was ahead of us.  

He was driving the Smart Car with a chair riding on the back of it.  We have not tried the interstates yet....

I am a bundle of nerves as I see what is up ahead of us!  So I started documenting the climb!

Well...We did not get stuck on the railroad tracks since I am at home blogging about this now.....It was a nice ride after all my anxiety.  

The next time I climb a hill mountain again, I need to notice the utility pole Cross in the sky!
