How in the world are we going to cross that?
We could build a boat or a bridge or a...ah...ahh!

Or that. |
And for all who are thinking and praying for my husband's recovery, I have an update from Monday's doctor's appointment. He is still two weeks away from a surgery date. It seems that the blisters on his leg have to completely heal before surgery or there is too great a risk for infection. After surgery, there is a prognosis of a 3-4 month recovery before he can even put weight on his leg, so our moving day has been postponed for a few months. Meanwhile, we have been getting wonderful, loving help from our friends here in Maryland.
