Hopefully this will be behind you soon and you can get to enjoy the holidays. What is so bad is that our hands are so important to us and we use them all the time. So glad you got to get away to a lovely spot to take your mind off the pain to some degree.Karen (Back Road Journal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09827391683226863495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-91422852529562071732014-11-18T10:33:05.808-06:002014-11-18T10:33:05.808-06:00I love reading your blog.

The shops are so upscale and unique. By the way, if you want some good reads, read Jan Karon's books. She modeled her fictional town on Blowing Rock. But start with the first book and read them in order. Take care. Wishing you a great holiday season. xo, PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457380718488241980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-24514086018203544012014-11-16T10:21:05.074-06:002014-11-16T10:21:05.074-06:00your pups are too cute - in the last post, too.

I have learned that about you already. And, you are funny. Cripes, you had me practically crying and laughing on the first post. Getting emotional over those fabulous snippets of literature and the picture of your sister and then laughing at your sense of humor in the post (about the meds). In fact, I was on such an emotional roller coaster that I have to go take a hot bath. I can see I'm going to enjoy your blog.<br />-GineneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-70085499210758815432014-11-15T22:38:13.849-06:002014-11-15T22:38:13.849-06:00Oh, Blondie, I think you get prettier with ea pict...Oh, Blondie, I think you get prettier with ea picture you show us.<br />So sorry for all the pain.

Three hours to write this post, must be so frustrating. Once when we moved into a large home in Toronto, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle AGAIN. I fell into a depression because I knew the long haul of recovery. But I wasn't in pain, it was just so difficult and frustrating.<br /><br />I love Blowing Rock. My husband and I visited Asheville last Sunday and then on Tuesday, we took the Blue Ridge Parkway trip.<br /><br />Maybe one of these days we can meet up. I am in Winston-Salem for Ned's work most of the time. Then I travel back for to visit my old home in Massachusetts. My girls live there with their husbands and my grandchildren.<br /><br />I will say a prayer that your pain leaves and that you recover the use of your hand fully.<br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend. Now I am off to read your post on Asheville.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-87311672989016695732014-11-14T21:12:34.564-06:002014-11-14T21:12:34.564-06:00I think you are entitled to a pity party.

And I know it is hard to rest because you have to use your hands at all times. I had a problem with my right one years ago and it took me over a year to completely heal. Looks like you had a great trip, but I know you are glad to be home. Enjoy your weekend!

Mine couldn't, of course, but--well, maybe yours?<br />I just hate to think of you up, chopping, and hurting like that! Honestly, some place nearby must deliver meals, or perhaps Abby could pick up an order and give Mom a hand. (No pun intended, really!)<br />I am glad you got the surgeries over with, though. I put off seeing my doctor and now, I'm paying for it, I'm afraid.<br /> I can't get "up" about the holidays at all this year. I even tried listening to Christmas music, but it did not have desired effect! Well, there's still time. I haven't shopped at all, I usually have at least some done by now.<br />(I need a personal assistant, and the money to pay her, too.) :)<br />Glad you posted; sorry I didn't check til now! :(<br />xoxos--<br />Trudy Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-63220566676798260142014-11-13T21:42:08.394-06:002014-11-13T21:42:08.394-06:00Hi Jane!!!

I feel for you dear, even if it just involves your hand, pain, no matter what part of your body, affects your whole self! The best relief for this is what your trying to do - get distracted and entertained. I think it was good your hubs didn't push thru with the horseback riding too, for now. Anyway, hugs to you dear friend. :-)Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-58734393689144577792014-11-13T19:24:40.412-06:002014-11-13T19:24:40.412-06:00Being a leftie, I know how inconvenient not to hav...Being a leftie, I know how inconvenient not to have use of your favorite side.
