Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a great Easter. Mine was fairly quiet. I did a booksigning on Saturday. Talked to a lot of people–sold a few books.
It’s starting off to be an eventful month. I got new glasses and I’m trying to adjust to them which isn’t easy. I think because they’re so clear. I was used to all the scratches. LOL But they’re really cute.
Karl nailed (nail gun) his finger while working on the bar for the den. Right through the nail, the bone and sticking out the other side. Ewwww! Ouch!!!! And of course I was gone so he drives himself to the hospital and walks in.
Now, you have to know my hubby the prankster who knows everyone in our small town. He goes strolling into the ER and Carol, the ward clerk, looks up and says, “Hi, Karl, what are you doing here?” (Karl works part-time at the hospital, too.) He tells her his finger hurts. She smiles as she waits for the punch line. Did I mention this happened on April Fools Day? He tells her no, really, my finger hurts and holds up his hand with this nail sticking through his finger.
So one of the paramedic’s takes a pic on his cell phone and the next time he goes to Wichita Falls, which is the next town over, Karl sees some of the medics and they’ve all seen this pic. Men—sheesh!
So how has your April started off?
Hugs,
Karen Kelley

Oh, no! Poor Karl! (And poor Carol!) My April has started slow and easy–no pain filled dramas–just the way I like it!
Hi Cynthia!
The funny thing was that it didn’t bother him at all. I made him stay home from work the next day. I just knew it was going to be sore. So what did he do? Mowed the lawn.
Now I would’ve milked an injury like that. ie Yes, sweetie, can you scracth my big toe? I tried but…but it was too…painful. LOL

I feel sorry for Karl and the accident he had, but he is a typical male when it comes to how he reacted to it. I can remember my husband doing much the same thing with regards to an accident he had, must be a male thing. I am with you, I would have liked a little pampering from an experience like that.
My April has started out quiet, mind you the weather has contributed a lot to that as well. But I am not sorry about the down time.
HI Cryna!
We had a cold spell come through so I’m staying inside where it’s warm. Great writing weatehr. Temps will be back to normal tomorrow.

Typical male. My Dad was cutting the grass when I was about 6, he cut his toes off one foot. Um, above the last joint, GONE! He waited hours with towels around his foot until my Mom got home to take him to the hospital. MEN! Now, my hubs, big baby. Hope his finger is feeling better!
Ouch, Brandy! Your poor father!
My father was mowing once and said his foot was hurting a little. The blades had ran over a piece of wire and it went through his shoe and into his foot. He pulled it out and went back to work. No tetnus shot or anything. It’s a wonder men live very long.
So far so good, I started a new job and I love it. I am glad that Carl is doing better.
wtg on yoru boook and great reviews
