A Seasonal Break

Hi all, (Steve being the scribe for Rebecca)

Arta & Rebecca are back in Victoria and settling back into their respective routines.

However, Rebecca broke the Word of Wisdom on the Sabbath and stopped at Merritt, B.C., (for the second time after charging up and then quickly getting back on the highway going back to Kamloops rather than forward to Vancouver), for a syrupy English Toffee coffee.

The combination of ice and a curb lead to a face-plant.

Rebecca managed the drive home but the fall did result in a radial styloid fracture of her left wrist. 

The emergency crew at the Royal Jubilee Hospital offered her a choice of colours for her cast; black of course, as black goes with everything.

Now Arta and Rebecca have matching blue slings and will be shopping for some arrows in the near future (obscure Shakespearean reference). 

So the prognosis is between 4 – 6 weeks of healing, although the black and blue nose should fair a bit sooner. 

Humiliation achieved along with embarrassing every sailor within earshot with a masterful string of cursing. First to offer assistance was a women  from the Secwepemc Elders Counsel.

Arta missed seeing the main event but did question Rebecca as to why at this time did she decide to take a shower in the truck stop.

No water, all coffee (along with the sweet sugar).

The sugar did a wonder for her hair and reminded her of the scene from ‘Something About Marry’.

Moral: watch out if you break the Word of Wisdom on a Sunday, it might just return the favour.
