I'm glad there was security and am appalled at humans.

My stock is put away in the freezer. As soon as the solids remaining cool down, I will go toss them in the trash. Leftovers except for some turkey that needs to be put in smaller portions to freeze are all dealt with appropriately. The last load of dishes (stock pots and strainers and some leftovers needed to be put into other things) is ready to start.

Oh, Bev! That's not good.

Did I ever tell you my story of being online in the early Internetty days and lurking on a grieving widows forum? So so so many of them had husbands fall off ladders and die during home repairs.

People don't think about it but it's dangerous up there.

Hope he heals up quick and easy.

Everybody else...be careful on ladders! Lots of ladder-ful tasks between now and New Year's.

Bev, all the bone-healing-and-good-surgery~ma.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, the ladder's being retired for the time being.

Hope the surgery is easy and that B is a good patient through the healing and the rest of recovery.

Ouch Beverly. I hope H's surgery goes well and he heals quickly.

Oh no! Swift healing for H!

Yikes, Beverly! Healing ~ma for H.!

Am so tired. Good day, fun company, long drive, bad meal, much wine.

Poor H and wrist of H!

The richest possible healing ~ma coming H's way, Beverly. May the bones knit easily and the trauma be fleeting.
