Evening all, tired as can be so promise will go read your posts after my bath IF I don't fall asleep before..if I do, will do so in the a.m.

Glanced and know you are all ok so now I can breath..

Had quite a weekend..

Started with the bearing going on my vehicle and having to have it repaired late Thursday night, thank goodness for brothers..Bernie did an excellent job and wouldn't charge me a penny, only thing I paid was for the part...

Friday morning I was off just before 5 a.m. got to mom's and at the border by 8:20a.m...asked mom to get her passport out so I could present mine and hers to the young man waiting in the booth, opened to the portrait page, OMG/OMG/OMG I kept saying, added a few oh no/oh no...here in March when I went with Rita we put our passport in our purses and you guessed it, I had Rita's...mom was in the passenger seat saying 'if we have to go back I'm not coming back'...thank goodness the young man said I didn't look like a terrorist nor a drug dealer so he let me through..yikes, close call...

Got to the room, was unpacking and getting ready for shopping weekend....you all know I really didn't think mom should go, with the injury to her left leg being so infected and then her knees giving her problems especially her right one and just getting cortizone shot on Thursday but she insisted...I carried everything into the room and she was going to put her suitcase away and I heard her screem..she lifted her slacks and wow blood pouring like crazy..I look and yuk what a gash..lifted the bedspread and guess the cleaner had pulled the bed out, finished what they were doing, pushed to matress to where it belonged but left the metal rail out about 6"..she ramed right into it, dug deep and lifted the skin...
