More planning today. It’s all coming together. We are trying to figure out who is sleeping where and when. I know where I am sleeping. In a craft-matic super slumberizor hospital bed! Oh, goodie. The last time I was in the hospital for an extended stay I was so uncomfortable in that thing they expected me to sleep on that, in the middle of the night, I made them bring me a whole new bed! I bet that is hard to believe. Ya right. I am not shy about how I am treated in a hospital. I hope they are ready for me!

I spent so much time strategizing today that I didn’t get to my water source this morning. Denny called about 1:00. “Are you at the water? ‘Cause I am!” “No, I didn’t make it this morning!” “You better get going. Everyday!” hahah I know, I know.

Before I knew it, it was time to get the kids. “Hey guys, you think it would be ok if we stopped off at the beach on the way home?”

It wasn’t a problem.

But as we walked out of the school, a sharp pain shot through the top of my left leg and into my knee. I don’t remember twisting it. I leaned a little heavier on my cane.

We pulled into a unnamed neighborhood beach access catty-cornered across the main road from the school. Just a random beach parking lot along the edge of the United States looking out over the Pacific Ocean. The beach there was wide and nearly deserted. Not knowing what was going on with my leg, I settled myself on the seawall and sent the kids down to investigate.

I snapped a few pictures and then picked up my book - reading with one eye on the book and one eye on the kids.

A few minutes later, a man walked up with a bag full of popcorn! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. . .

Now I hope you don’t mind if I used my pictures to tell the story tonight. It’s now 9:07p and my entire left leg is screaming at me. I need to take something and get to bed. Tomorrow is our last day here at camp quiet and I am going to need this leg to be in better shape so I can pack up and get ready to roll out of here on Saturday.

One more day!
