I could sit on it to brush my teeth, and kneel on it to create a "leg" on my injured side to wash my face—yet still had plenty of room to maneuver around it. Of course we pulled up the rug and stowed it away--trip risk!Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-10727752930700695722011-10-18T10:48:33.196-04:002011-10-18T10:48:33.196-04:00Just read your blog.

That’s our goal, and we are very proud to have been a part of your camp!<br /><br />DougDoug Gallownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-62453182044236287272011-10-10T12:02:17.312-04:002011-10-10T12:02:17.312-04:00Donna: The camp is very special in the way it carr...Donna: The camp is very special in the way it carries our collective family memories forward--most everyone who visits comment upon this, even in its renovated state.

Your camp seems like a living breathing thing...it must have nurtured you over the years with life's ups and downs. What special memories to have and to wrap all around you as you live there now, even when sudden injury strikes!

I love that place, and I'm not even a Graham! Amazing foresight with the one-floor design and handicap accommodations. It's an example of planning ahead that proved fruitful; such a treat when we are unable to be in control of our destiny most of the time.Lisa Tomarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387353577959237975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769028919762785741.post-6357964454376677412011-10-07T08:28:11.908-04:002011-10-07T08:28:11.908-04:00Proof that with well crafted writing, ordinary lif...Proof that with well crafted writing, ordinary life can turn into a lovely, intimate reading experience. Thanks for sharing yourself so generously. Not coincidentally these little "post 50" problems will become more important to many of us, so we might as well bring them out of the closet and let it rip. (Aging is the last frontier. See Diana Athill, "Somewhere toward the end." Not to say you're getting old... But I know I am.) <br /><br />Jerry<br /><a href="http://www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blog" rel="nofollow"> Memory Writers Network </a>Jerry Waxlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945251286691895431noreply@blogger.com
