jack & jill.

my parents rented a beautiful cabin in blue ridge, ga
last week for a whole week. they really enjoyed themselves
and then invited lea, slim & i up to join them for a few days.
we went up and had a great time....  
mom worked on her painting.
we played bananagrams.
*i won twice.
we napped.
i pained lea's silhouette.
we got in the hot tub in 100 degree weather.
*not recommended.
slim & dad played pingpong.
and then...
i hear lea scream and look out the window and see my dad laying
at the bottom of the hill.
mom had fallen down a steep hill while walking stella and broke her ankle.
dad saw that she had fallen and went running to help.
i think he started off a bit too fast....
and he went tumbling after.
we called 911 and it took more than 30 minutes and
slim running around the mountains to redirect the ambulance
to our cabin. they loaded mom up and took her to the er...
there we heard the awful news that mom had a 
"nasty break" and needed surgery.
mom also failed her crutches test.
i'm not sure why lea was smiling? how rude.
we had to wait a week for all the swelling to
go down for them to operate, but here's mom's leg
with a metal plate & pins.
the surgeon signed his fancy work.
 here's to a speedy recover mom! xo
