Get aways in the hard weeks of recovery

 Paul is just about to go nuts with laying around with his foot in the air.  I'm feeling a little bit cooped up along with him.  I have taken advantage of morning walks for a little get out time as well as doing the work to get things finished up at school.  Paul decided he really needed to get out on Friday and said we should go to Pine Valley and have a KFC picnic at the Heritage Center picnic area.  We got things together and took Bean with us and did it!  And it was wonderful!  The food was good, the weather was lovely cool, the scenery was beautiful and the company was great too!  After we ate we took a little drive around to see how the cabins that are being rebuilt after burning in the fire are coming along and stopped off to read the DUP monument sign and see the Oreo cows.  It was a great little outing.  Paul got pretty tired by the time we left, but it was worth it for him and for Bean and me too!  Sadly, a giant old spruce tree at the grounds by the Heritage Center had been chopped down.  It looked like it must have been diseased so they took it down.  

Today I mowed the lawns and blew off the side yard by the trash and blew out the garage along with the patio.  Paul can't be doing that for a while.  I'm not very good at it, but I did my best.  Bean and I took the car and the truck and got them washed too.  Paul made some cookies and I made a blueberry loaf and cleaned the house, shopped and did laundry.  Just keep on keeping on.  Hopefully Paul's foot is healing well and he'll get some more freedom of movement back at his appointment on Tuesday.
