I've fallen off of horses before. Yea, it hurts, but then again so does falling down the stairs, and I've done that plenty too. This time was different. Broken collarbone. Nobody ever told me that every muscle in your body is connected in some way with your collarbone.
Nice that I found a way to do this just before Christmas when all my kids would be here for a week or so. Didn't get to go out & do anything fun.
We did put up a Christmas tree tho. I had sworn I wouldn't do it again, but as the holiday came near, I had to break down & do it. What made it worthwhile was topping the tree with Staley, the Chicago Christmas Bear. I would show you a picture if I could, but I can't, so I won't. At least not now. But I will tell you that he looks fierce, he does. Chandra suggested that we write a Christmas Fight Song to sing merrily. We will look to the January performance of the Bears to inspire us. In the mean time, Staley wears sunglasses to give a more casual, confident and friendly appearance.
Go Ducks!
