Hey I think I'm ready to go on the "Discovery Channel"When was the last time you tried to catch a flying Dewalt Drill with your toes? Well I can tell you that I did not begin my day with that in mind. And... I know for sure Kevin did not set the goal of falling off the ladder with his Dewalt Drill in his hand either! Wow, was I scared as I looked up just in time to witness Kevin falling & the ladder going with him, silly me I thought I could catch him, really bad idea!!! Silly me... "But what to my wondering eyes should appear but a REALLY BIG bright yellow drill headed my way I fear! That is when it occurred to me, "GET OUT OF DODGE, ... Dorie." Well this is evidence that Dodge was much to large & well I didn't have much time. Ah... the consequences of "true love", Option #1: stay & see if Kevin survived the fall off the ladder with minimal damage & remain to administer first aid if necessary? Option #2: Catch his new "Dewalt Drill' before it hits the ground and breaks, "oh dear, this would impede my true loves goal?" So you see I chose option #1 & #2, I stayed... "One does that, when the choice is very obvious." I never knew how heavy & tough that "Dewalt Drill was... I do now! After a few tears & after Kevin regained consciousness and he realized that he no longer had his "Dewalt Drill" in his hand, he heard my scream & then cry, he rolled his body over on the garage floor and made his way towards me, he helped me up and we went into the house to do damage control. He made his way to the freezer for the frozen peas. "Thank you honey, sorry I didn't catch you, I'll do better next time I promise!" Again, I asked;"Are you sure you are alright? ... "Yes, he replied; I'm fine!" Okay, I'm not ...I think my really BIG right toe, is broken. Yup, that's' twice in my life I have been right! Ha! We have a gift in our family...we love to diagnose our injuries & ailments before we head out to the "hospital emergency room". It takes our mind off the injury, but also keeps pne occupied so that one is not dwelling on "ones broken toe!" ... and there is no charge to the injured party either, because we thank you for the opportunity to practice medicine with out a license. Yes even with a broken & bruised toe & foot, I wouldn't have missed..."Well actually I did miss the catch, but I caught something else, and that would be; seeing my husband apply the "daffodil principle". The garage is really looking good, and we aren't finished yet... "one day at a time, one garage at a time, two people, with nineteen good toes, and a couple of sore ribs.~~~"Kevin you inspire me. I love YOU, or as our "Kellyry" puts it, "I heart you Kevin... 4ever4always. "~~~
