Virginia ping.
I sent this to my daughters who are in Richmond. I can't get there from where I am, but maybe they can!
Hey there, Gummy!!!!!!!!!
I can't get there either - but I sure can keep this bumped up!!!!!!!
Hiya, Gabz!! How's the ankle??? Are you doing any walking, yet?
AWESOME is a great description!!!!!!!!!!!
The ankle is getting better, thanks for asking. I'm able to do a bit more standing on my own 2 feet, but still can't walk without the crutches. the physical therapist is happy with my progress, considering it was exactly 2 months ago tonight that I did it (I did it on a Friday, but it was the 8th).
The lack of mobility is the major part of my being unable to get to Williamsburg for the rally. But I'll be there in spirit.
Well, if you & hubby aren't coming to the Rally I'll have break down and buy my own smokes.
Thanks for doing this Gabz.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cute choice of words :)
Hubby is working that day (gotta take the OT when offered) and I haven't been cleared to drive yet....not that I could make that drive on my own - too many bridges and tunnels and I don't like tunnels.
Yep, since it's crucial to walking, it's one break that takes some major healing before walking on it. It really puts a wrench in the cogs of life, doesn't it?
I concur!
I'm not doing anything, but sitting here typing.........it's you folks who are doing all the hard work. I thank you for it!!!!!
Thanks for the ankle update. I was just about to Freepmail you and saw the report. Not much longer, hang in there!
Yes, it does........I sure have learned that the hard way this summer.
It's little the things we just take for granted that are so difficult to do.........like letting the dogs out, which I just did........
Because of my procrastination (Free Republic addiction actually) I will be up half the night working on a project I have to take with me in the a.m.
Thanks again!
LOL, yeah...or even showering and bathing. Going for essentials at the store, usually a task that takes little thought, takes 4x as much time at the minimum with 100x more effort.
Thanks for the positive thoughts!!! I need them every once in a while :)
TURN OFF FR...............repeat........TURN OFF FR..........GET WORK DONE..........GET SLEEP..........REPEAT.........
I have faith in you, dear - you'll get it done :)
I am so thankful I have such a patient husband, and one who knows how to shop :)
I was only able to do the back to school shopping thanks to WalMart having electric carts.
Not being able to drive because the car is out of commission is one thing, I've dealt with that before, it doesn't mean you can't go anywhere. Not being able to drive because you can't walk is an entirely different thing, it means you can't go anywhere without beig taken by someone else.
Enough of me hijacking this thread..........my apologies to all.
Off topice ping, folks..........but I'm ..........
Just spreading the word!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Good night BTTT
This one I can definitely make – I live in Newport News.
The link, http://www.wm.edu/about/directions.php – didn’t work. I am fairly familiar with the area, but never heard of Crim Dell Meadow. Where is it?
I'll br there - if I can find out where Crim Dell Meadow is.
BTTT
Hope you can make it, and bring a friend!
Good morning bump!!!!!!!!
Good morning
The link worked okay for me.
If you can find a campus map, Crim Dell is in a straight line behind the Wren building, beyond the Sunken Garden.
*yawn*
g'mornin'
The link works fine now - I thought it was directions to the meadow. I am familiar with the Wren bldg, so no problem.
There's a link for a campus map on the page you get from the link above.
The map doesn't show "Crim Dell Meadow" but it shows "Crim Dell"
I was up at 5:40. Now I need a nap.
OK - I'll concede you that.
They were laughing at me at PT this morning.....after only 3 hours sleep, yanking on my ankle was not high on my list of favorite things to do :)
I think that’s near what used to be called the polo field.
Bump for checking in when I get back this afternoon!
Hello!
Sorry the link didn't work for you, I checked it and it appears to be working now.
There are several maps and written directions located on the page I linked to, but here is a direct link to a .pdf map of the campus.
CAMPUS MAP of the College of William and Mary
(This is a PDF file)
http://www.wm.edu/admission/downloads/wmmap.pdf
I'm not familiar at all with the campus so it took me a sec to find it on the map. If you will notice the diamond shaped section of land at the bottom of the map, Crim Dell (#25) is at the top-most point. It looks to be on the North Side of Landrum Hall (#47).
If you are unable to read this map for some reason please send a freepmail to Flora McDonald and I'm sure she will be able to help you get to the right place! (o;
You all are so kind!!! Thank you so much for all the compliments, it really made my day. (o:
Just FYI.. I might not be around much for the rest of the day. I'm trying to cure my computer of a nasty little virus and I'm going to have to do it manually. )o: I'm going to try to get to some OperationHero work left over from yesterday, but it's nearly impossible with my comp the way it is right now... Hopefully I'll be talking to you all again this evening! (fingers crossed)
Got it.
You ain't gonna believe this bud - but I'm gonna be in Wms'burg on the 18th....
:-)
Glad you are home safe an sound!
Early day tomorrow so I'm off.
Remember 9-11 ... NEVER FORGET!
Cool!
Give 'em hell bump!
