Friday, November 3rd

I received calls from Tony & Berri today, wishing the ole man a happy birthday. Ashley made one of my favorite dinners this evening...chicken enchiladas and MA made me an angel food cake. It was a spectacular autumn day here today and I got some minor work done on the Jeep.

MA & I were over at Ashley's in the afternoon. Ash and Camryn took a walk in the backyard and Cammy dropped her pumpkin into the creek behind their house. Ashley retrieved it and was coming back up the embankment when a small twig from a tree branch struck Ashley inside her right ear. She immediately felt pain but there was no blood. She felt air inside her ear canal and everything sounded like she was in a cave. Javi was working at home and they drove down to the hospital emergency room. The ER doc determined that Ashley had punctured her eardrum! They gave her pain medicine and said that the eardrum would grow back in a month or so.
