A short post

Haven't had a chance to post recently.

We went to the Ren Faire in PA this weekend. It was nice. I have made Chuck a hat, which is nifty.

My great-grandfather fell today, and broke his shoulder and his hip. Fortunately, we have a high concentration of nurses, EMTs, and hospital administrators among his offspring and grand-offspring, and he's been airlifted to an excellent major hospital. I'm told he's in good spirits. Still...he's almost 100. We were going to have a surprise 100th birthday party for him in a couple weeks. And this isn't the kind of injury very old people bounce back from well. And that is scary.

And so we get into that helpless waiting...

:( I hope he recovers soon. That's amazing that he's almost 100.

Yeah, the helpless waiting part isn't fun at all. :( I hope he gets better soon!

Wow, 100! Hope he gets better.
