Best thoughts to you, Tinker. Sorry to be so late to this thread.

And it was a glorious morning in North Carolina. Beautiful surroundings and beautiful music with amazing people. (And I never thought I would ever comment on a church organist having sexy legs.)

After a grand brunch with Janie, Julienne and I strolled sloooowly through Duke gardens in 74 degree weather !!!!!

I'll link tommorrow to the flowers bravely blooming out of season. We both found a few muscles that are still working things out on our stroll, but it was a wonderful spirit lifter for this girl who is more accustom to northern January.

"And our singing worlds collide. Magical."
So glad!

Janie...a few words from you is worth a torrent from many.

And because we were a bit late, we ended up in the first pew, 2 feet from piano and pianist and choir. During communion, she noodled with "Down the River To Pray" and soon realized she had to let us sing it, those who cared to join.

And our singing worlds collide. Magical.

Despite the excitement (REALLY glad both of you are more or less okay) and the screwed up plans, sounds like the impromptu Mudcat gathering makes the whole situation a lot better.

Take care of yourselves...ALL ofa you!

Afraid I haven't been much care or contact so far - in spite of the best of intentions. But Dani is picking me up so that the three of us can go to church together this morning and then I hope to feed Kathy a nice lunch.

I'm just glad they don't think I'm more trouble than I'm worth!

I've always suffered from wanderlust and dragged my feet the whole way home, but I'll take coffee on the beach over broken ribs anyday. Guess I'd better be more specific what I'm lookin' for.....

Had a great dinner with Dani at Spartacus Yummmm .... and we found a groupon which made it even better! We were able to keep Julienne entertained without "cognitive activity" and much laughter ensued through out.

WE MISSED JANIE .... her car refused to start! No, I am not responsible for all chaos and mahem currently in the Greater Durham area.... at least I hope not..

But we will all join up for some old fashioned churh singing in the morning. What a joy to have friends all over.

Tinker, I'm so glad to know you and Julienne are okay! That ER nurse may be on to something. Enjoy the good weather and the fabulous company! Dani, Janie & Kendall it's going to be 50 here, too!!! (May take a few months, but it will be, eventually)

Btw, Tink, do you extend ALL of your road trips by a day or a few? ; )

I suppose that 50 degree weather is quite balmy in Maine in January, eh?

Rats! Now I know why that pull to plant the pansies in the fall that I didn't was so strong - an opportunity to impress Tinker with our "winter flowers." I would say a missed opportunity, except that Tinker and Girl are even more lovely winter blooms to encounter.

Ahh Kendall, the thought of having a "Kendall groupie reunion" definately brings a smile.
But Dani, Janie and I will have to make due on our own with warm southern weather.

We have finally come up with a smile provoking non-cognitive activity. She gets to call and harass her younger brothers.... They are all pretty silly.

Sad to say supper got canceled. It's foggy here, and I am blind as a bat behind the wheel of a car at night when it is raining. (Not sure if I have gotten old or simply grown up:?) But talked to Tinker and all things considered she and daughter are doing well. She's having some internet access issues but will try again later to post more.

While I deeply regret the circumstances that lead to her being here for several more days, I'm so very glad to have the chance for some good visiting! Tomorrow is going to be warm (70's) and partly sunny. She probably isn't ready for a hike up Eno Mountain, but we will definitely find trouble to get into together!

Lemurs! they're right around the corner from you. Or tigers! Ask me, I can hook you up.

You should come over to Maple View and sit on the porch and eat ice cream.

It's going to be 70* this weekend, we'll find someplace for you to bask in the sun (although her quad is not shabby : )

Hope to see you tonight!

Didnt notice any mention of facial injuries so how about goig out and getting facepacks moisturiser and all the fixins of a girlie day giving each other facials and hand massages. If you are feeling very adventourous even try nail polish (Warning reminder to self) do not do this with friend whose only idea of nail polish is black or flourescent pink .

I tried to think of some non-cognitive things to do that would better (and different from) nothing, and I just couldn't.

Scary stuff!!! Glad the damage wasn't greater! Sending positive thoughts your way, but so far have no brilliant non-cognitive ideas other than maybe listening to music. Sleep is always good, but not always possible...

Mend quickly, both of you!

Is listening to music okay? Or, mom reading betdime tales?:-) What about fingerpainting or working with a wad of clay with nothing in mind...so the creative side can rest? Kids card games like Uno? That might require too much. Is there a local petting zoo? Listening to funny old radio shows?

SO gratefull you are both relatively safe and well.

Our initial thought was mindless TV.... but Wednesday's check up took TV away too. Went into old navy to get a few items as I hadn't brought more than a change of clothes and the store displays (stripes and brights got painful so even shopping is on the watch list.

Tomorrow we will go for Mani-pedi's. A friend of my youngest son recommended pampering ourselves with "grooming" activities. But neither of us are the girly girl type for that to last long.

But now it is nap time for both of us...

Thanks all

Well, I guess you and Julienne could watch Fox "News" or listen to right wing talk radio - It doesn't require, or even invite, any cognitive processing.   (It may tend to raise blood pressure though, so maybe not a good idea.)
Maybe listening to instrumental music?
Can either or both of you have massages? (On the non-injured body parts, of course.)

Have Dani cook you up a big mess o' southern vittles and Janie sing some blues or Gospel for you. That should help.


Really, though, Tinker, there are much safer ways to have an excellent adventure. I hope you and yours do not have another one like this anytime soon.   And please keep healing, both of you.

I've always hated that stretch of I-95, Tinker... I almost got scrunched there one time when a large metal disc about 10 feet round and a couple inches thick decided it was a Frisbee and flew off the back of the flat-bed tractor trailer right in front of me... Luckily there was no one in the left lane and I was able to move over just enough so that it missed me by about a foot...

Durham, you say??? Well, Dani or Janie live right down the street so ya'll oughtta hook up with them... They know how to have fun...

Oh my, Tinker... you do have adventures getting her to school!

Amusement.... hmmmmm.... well, you can browse my collection of cute cartoons on religion that an Episcopalian 'might' find amusing.

Sorry I can't provide some 'early morning wading fun' (don't ask, folks ☺

Seriously, watch 'light' stuff on TV and stay warm and re-count blessings.

We are SO glad you both are mostly ok.......
