Enough of this picture is good to show you the scuttled boat in the inlet. There is enough water in it that I cannot drag it ashore. I have a neighbor who says that if we can't drag it ashore, he will hook his truck to it and that will do the job. When all of the husky fellows were here for Thanksgiving, I didn't think about having them drag it ashore. As you can see I am having difficulty trying to transfer pictures from my camera to my blog site. The garbled portion of this pic covers the showing of the chair that was in the bottom of the boat but now rests on the shore.
I took a good picture of Clarine wearing her new boot, but it didn't even transfer from the camera to the computer, and I can't bring it up in my camera now either. Clarine is wearing a boot because she has a broken bone in her metatarsal area of her left foot. It is to be held stable for six weeks for healing purposes. She has also strained her Achilles tendon in her right foot. She is going to have to take a six weeks leave of absence from the temple because the standing required is to rigorous for her feet. Just another little test for us to accommodate - especially Clarine. Today I paid my taxes. They were up $200 this year over last. (I thought real estate prices were falling, so the evaluation should have followed, but the county can't operate on less than they anticipated on getting, so the taxes won't go down even though the value of real estate is less. We are still working on the left overs from Thanksgiving. We still have three kinds of pie left, some turkey and some mashed potatoes. It will be a while before we get the larder down to where we can plan new menus. We made some excellent turkey soup from the turkey bones and skeleton left from the holiday meal. We didn't trim the bones too closely, so there is lots of meat in the soup. We had the soup tonight, and it was yummy. I prepared this blog once before this evening, and when I pushed the key to post it, I got a window saying it couldn't be posted, and I was never able to find it. So this is the second attempt. I am almost afraid to post it for fear that I will lose another creation. Well here goes. Wish me luck. gwh
