Possible fracture of the fibula. That’s my reward for trying to get to a seat where I could take a picture.. On the way up to Seattle somehow I injured my leg changing seats on the plane. It got worse. I ended up at the hospital getting an xray and coming out with crutches and a boot. “Keep off it  and go to your doctor when you go back home.”  Crutches are a pain. You start hurting all over from the damn crutches!  Thank heavens for curbside no curbs for people like me. Came back here to construction problems. My husband  worked on that  - I worked on a hospital visit. Went there today and the doc wanted me to put weight on leg – didn’t hurt  – walked out of there a little embarassed. Tomorrow I have to go rough plumbing  shopping without boot and crutches. Hopefully the pain won’t come back. Not sure how many days I need to stay ahead of the contractors. Excuse me for not getting back sooner.  It’s been busy around here.

Seattle

My iphone came in handy to take this shot of Frank Gehry’s Rock Temple. It’s shining undulating candy colored forms were quite a contrast to Seattle’s public library where Rem Koolhaas designed a stacked multifaceted form out of steel and glass. The weather was spectacular – clear and sunny. We ate salmon. We spent time on the water. We had nice walks and talks. Life couldn’t have been better.
