Back again

I have received some comments that I have been missed. Thank you to all of you for your concern and prayers for us. Things have been a little crazy at the Tate Loony Farm. The day before Thanksgiving when my in-laws were here I was taking out the garbage and stepped on a top left at the bottom of the stairs. I went down along with the garbage and sprained my ankle. I didn't go into the doctor for a week. I had an aircast so I was using that. My leg was still hurting after a week so I decided to make sure that the bone was not broken too. The doctor took x-rays and found out that I had a bad sprain. I also have a slight bone spur growing from a previous injury that had not healed properly. So to err on the side of caution I was put in a cast and on bed rest for two weeks. The cast was made like the ones in the states except for the fact that the bottom was not reinforced so I wouldn't walk on it.

On Monday my cast came off and I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to catch up. I am so far behind on everything. I have to use my aircast for another two weeks at which time the doctor will re-evaluate the injury. I am enjoying the freedom of being able to walk through the house and get things done.

Today I am going to be making Banana Bread and Egg-Nog Bread for my Christmas gift baskets. I wanted to make Stollen as that is what I did last year when I was in the states, but I forgot to bring the recipe with me. My mom has spent a lot of time looking for it, but she hasn't been able to find it. I am glad to know that I can get the ingredients to make it here. When I go home in March for my brother's wedding I hope to find my recipe at that time.

I will try to be more on top of my blogging from now on. Thank you for praying for us and please continue to do so.
