Farm Girls
Patch themselves up with duct tape when they blow out a knee and still have to work.
Go to the parts store up at the other end of the county, carrying THIS part along...with instructions that it is NOT this part that is needed, but the OTHER part.
And somehow remain cheerful and fun to be around.
The subject of both these photos is Liz and the stories are true, with no names changed to protect the innocent.......
Linda, she is a lot better now...we all have kinda crooked legs, leading to lifelong knee problems, alas
DMM, the odd thing is she hurt it sitting at the kitchen table with her work boots on.
Cathy, thanks and thank you to Keith for the good advice. I will tell her. She is a lot better at this point, just taking care with it. And sorry about not posting...family issues, weather issues, cow issues...it never stops. Thanks for thinking about us and take care.

Oh, nasty. Sorry to see that sore knee.
Owwie :(
Tell you what . . I don't know what our ancestors did without duct tape.
Sure hope things are healing ok.
Keith says to be sure the tape doesn't press the patella into the joint.
Sure hope you're all OK.
Miss your posts . . .

I should'a known you were happily engaged.
It's just that a duct-taped knee on Friday the 13th and then "crickets" . . .
so the empty places in my brain started to fill in the blanks . .
