Thanks bro --------its not the broken foot that has had everyone laughing but how Norm tells about EVERYONE " SHIRLEY TELL THEM HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED" - I wish someone would have been around filming so I could have seen my face after it was over - I made a promise to a couple that wanted to be married at daybreak like 6:30AM Fridan morn - I really really didn't want to do it since I already had so much on my plate, but feeling sorry for them, I said OK --Norm's truck has never ever failed me, but when it came to get out of the truck Friday morn, the door would not unlock and the windows would not roll down - motor on, motor off - OK a little panic is setting in since the bride and groom are sitting in front of the store, car doors open and pacing - its already after 6:10Am and we still have to get inside the store and get her flowers - I noticed that I could bring the window down on the passenger side down - so I jumped over to that side, rolled the window down (the motor is still on) and climbed out then jumped to the ground - OUCH I fell the wrong way - I thought I had just sprained my foot so I hop over to the couple, open up the shop, grab the flowers and we are off ---now I knew it was going to be on the beach, but did you know when you have a sore/broken foot that walking on soft sand is not the thing to do - i did break a branch off a tree to make a cane, got the couple married, got back to the shop, signed their licenses and off they went - nope didn't even charge them cause I felt so guilty that I made them worried - got home and hummmmmmmm the elevator isn't working so up 5 stories and exalty 70 steps later, I AM HOME - I tell Norm and after he makes sure I am ok, he rolls over laughing - then its time to get back to the shop - I worked Friday and Saturday on what I thought was a "sprained foot", but since my granddaughter's best friend was getting married on sunday night and I had to do it, I just wanted the dr to give me a boot I could walk with - I was stunned when he told me I had broken it in 3 places - - I didn't believe him so he showed me the X-ray to prove it - the elevator is fixed after being down 2 and one half days,
I am wearing the boot that Norm had to cut down to fit me and I am back at work so everything is Kool --------except the hot boot, but I am lucky enough I can go in the cooler and cool it off - my sons didn't know anything and when we had breakfast Sunday, they walked me to the truck and asked me to demostrate exalty how I did it --smarties --
Thanks for all the sweet notes and thanks for all the thoughfulness each have shown and little bro - you owe me big time big mouth
Hope all have a great week and we are still here if we can help.
Oh BTW - I did find out several things - the new motel owned by the radisson next door to Ron Jon's will not be opened for about 6 months, but WOW its going to be beautiful - the Moon Hut Restaurant is now going to be opened as a Mexican Restaurant and man oh man how nice it is looking - you are about one quarter of a mile South of the Radisson. As places open, will keep you updated as I find out what all is happening here -
Always
Shirley and Norm

Hi Shirley!! Sending lots of pixie dust your way and also some get well vibes (((((GET WELL SOON))))) Take care of yourself and don't over do it!!

Also wanted to take this opportunity to THANK YOU will all my heart for making such an awesome basket for my Inlaws !! They LOVED IT!!! You did a WONDERFUL JOB!!! We sailed on the May 15th Wonder. It was so nice for them to check out their cabin for the first time and see your basket for them sitting there. They were soooo surprised.

Thanks again and please take care of yourself.

Andy -> Thanks for sharing Hope you & your family are doing great.

Shirley -> I hope you are feeling better (and back on two feet soon). I tried getting a mental picture of you getting out of the truck, but I couldn't get past thinking about how the Dukes of Hazzard used to get in and out of their car. I know that breaking a foot isn't funny, but the way it happened sounds like something I'd do. Here's a ton of pixie dust and good wishes for you!!
