After more than 2 months of healing from a broken  bone in her foot (from a fall that happened at Thanksgiving), many trips to the bone specialist in Trail and MANY sighs of relief that bone surgery wouldn’t be needed in the long-term, on Dec. 22nd Lee was given the o.k. to walk again – & without her air cast!  I constantly mused that the cast made me think a stormtrooper had misplaced his boot.. so of course, had to make it the subject of my year-end cartoon.  It’s been a good year for us in Nelson — a lot of hard work mixed with a lot of good times.  We have great friends here and a very happy life in this lovely little mountain town.
