Family Reunion

This afternoon Quilter and I hosted a family reunion for my sisters and all their kids. I worked all during the day for the past week getting the garage in order. We had all kinds of yard games planned. The grill was all set. We should have known..................

Last night while we were setting up, we were unloading these big banquet tables. There are six all total with two being over sized. These tables are almost a foot wider, and about 60 lbs heavier than the average banquet table. We had them in a friend's pickup truck and Quilter was on the floor and I was in the back of the truck sliding them off. The first table was one of the monster tables. Quilter grabbed a hold and I let go................Crash...................Quilter didn't have her foot out of the way and the table landed on her big toe. She went in and iced it down and checked it out while I finished unloading. When she came out of the house, she said "Take me to the emergency room, I need stitches." We took the pickup back to our friend's house and got our own car. When we got to the ER we noticed that Urgent Care was still open at the clinic right next door. We went to Urgent Care because it is 20 dollars cheaper and a whole lot quicker. All said and done, Quilter has 3 stitches and a fractured big toe.
This morning on my paper route, which I decided to sleep in and do later in the morning, it started to rain. It started at 5:15 am and rained all day until after 5 this evening. 2 1/2 inches of rain. Now when you are hosting a group of 40, you really don't need rain. We grilled right in front of the garage, ate in the garage, and played cards and board games instead of yard games. We had a good time in spite of the rain. However we are not going to the fair tonight. We are bushed, and I don't think Quilter wants to walk around a whole lot. So with the exception of not being able to go to the fair, we had a good day in spite of the weather..............Right now, it's nap time. Bye for now.
