I heart Fall in the air not fall on the ground


This is a good Fall.

This is the bad fall.

 Found this pic on Flicker and it best describes my lunch yesterday. Lickity-split might be the better picture. LOL

Yep, at lunch yesterday, I had time to run over to the hospital for lunch with a couple of my friends. They have good healthy food for really inexpensive. That's where I can get in my veggies.

There is a really big, nice sitting area on a deck with a waterfall, very nice on pretty days.
Anyways, you have to walk through the landscaping to step on the deck which leads to the back door of the cafeteria.

In my tailored dress with heels and a labcoat, I stepped and there was mold growth evidently which was slick on the decking. I did a wonderful split that I haven't done since high school and fell to the left on the ground. Embarassing. Everyone went "OH" at one time. I got up and didn't look at who saw all that and we went straight in.
Thought I was ok, but an hour later started having muscle spasms in the left side of my upper back and left arm where I had surgery just was losing strength. I called them concerned that someone else may get hurt and they were only concerned with getting their landscaping crew out to tidy it up vs. me falling down.
Took a muscle relaxer and I laid on the sofa, just woke up at 6am ......on the sofa. Sore as all get out.
Hubbie said this morning he asked me to go to the bed twice and I was quite irritable. I don't even remember it.
This is my day off and had a long list of things to do like clean the house. We'll see if this medicine will take effect so I can get them done.
Falling at 47 is much more complicated than age 27 that's for sure.

Onward to the morning............

No stitching store coming to Helen but we have one of these now.....





Yep, Bodyguard and I went on our usual Sunday afternoon drive through the country and ice cream visit in town. We nearly hit a huge black wild boar pig, the biggest I've ever or he has ever seen and they move fast. I was so glad not to hit this with the car. At first I thought it was a black bear but then saw the front. YIKES!

Then we passed by the new opening of Goats on the Roof. Yes, if you are traveling up near Helen, GA this year, you must ride out in the country to see this. The video above is of the Tiger, Ga. one which is really not too far from here either. Yes, there are goats grazing and lounging on the roof. The store was not open but if I go back, I'll definitely get some pics. Is this country life or what????? LOL

Yep, no LNS but we gave a Goats on the Roof now.

Later.....

A Quiet Sunday morning

This morning I got up early and the house was total quiet. No TV, no air conditioning even coming on as the air outside is cooler. In the middle of the quiet, I hear only the coffee perculator which percs every 15 or so minutes (it's an old one) so if you don't like the strength of your coffee, just hang on for 15 more minutes and it will re-perc for you!

In the middle of the quiet which is a total gift from above, I diddled with my thoughts as I looked out my window at the huge butterflies here, flouncing around the trees and lemon balm. I decided there is a magic about quiet Sunday mornings, the day of rest. Soothing, relaxing, and if Abbie's is not snitching my poptart and taking a nap instead, I can have alot of introverted fun.
