A better home and garden

Aron has started a fruit and vegetable garden outside the house, and I am so excited at the thought of freshly grown produce this summer. He is planting peppers, garlic, tomato, spinach, lettuce, green beans, strawberries and raspberries. Even if only a few work out, I am still hopeful that I will not have to be a slave to Stop and Shop all summer. I want to have everyone over for a BBQ and serve a home grown salad!

Speaking of everyone over for a BBQ...this weekend is another merging of the families. In order to make life easier, we are hosting the mothers at our house for Mother's Day. Parents, grandparents, and possibly siblings from both of our families will descend upon our house for a BBQ. I agreed to this before the broken leg...so this should be interesting to say the least.

The Broken Leg Update

Life has been passing by so fast, that updating hasn't happened. But now that I am spending all of my free time sitting on the couch with my leg elevated, time seems to be all that I have.

So I fell the other night, in a move that can only be called dumb. I was standing on something that was high up and forgot. Just completely forgot that I was high off the ground. So I proceeded to step backwards,thinking I was a mere inches away from stepping on the soft grass. Wrong! I'll spare the details of what happened next, but Aron and I ended up in the Emergency Room on Thursday night.

When the doctor said it was broken, I was actually shocked. I was expecting twisted or pulled or something like that. But thankfully it was high up on the fibula, in a non weight bearing spot. I'll be ok, once I recover from the case of dumb that I seem to have caught.
