Marjorie is exhausted.   care giving is tough.  But not today… breakfast at Macdonalds, \u2014 one egg wrap or $6, 2 large iced coffee at $1.79 each\u2026this<\/div>\n
breakfast at less than $4 each\u2026wow!.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
So we were happy and the lake trail had other happy people<\/div>\n
1) Three ex-vietnamese kids who took our picture and we took theirs.  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
My neck brace is gone but my head is crooked and my balance is terrible.   Head injures are  no joke.<\/div>\n
Self pity.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
2)  Then we met two Afghan ladies one of whom was dressed  in full hand stitched Afghan dress.  She asked Marjorie to join her.<\/div>\n
