penny says hello to all...

21 years ago

penny emailed me and asked me to say hello to everyone on the forum. this excerpt tells where her current priorities lie:

>"Well, it has been nearly a week since I have been on the computer.

Last Monday my husband had a ball game and he ended up in the ER. He was catching and the guy on third base was trying to come home and plowed right into my husband and broke his leg in 2 places. On Wednesday he had to have surgery so between the 90+ temps and trying to keep everything from wilting and dying and taking care of him and mowing the grass and digging out the grass in the patio area, there hasn't been any time for the computer or much else for that matter.

Say HELLO to everyone on the hummer forum for me and that I hope to catch up with the posts later depending on what I need to do around here.">

so have a good thought for penny and her husband, and hopefully he'll be up and around in no time and we'll see her back here soon!

    Standard thanks for letting us know what is going on with Penny.

    I am so sorry her husband was hurt. I thought that she and her husband probably had taken a vacation for the 4th.

    Maybe when she slows down she will have lots of hummers! That would be a nice present after all of her troubles -

    Penny,
    O My Goodness, that's awfull news. I hope your DH is a better patient than I was. Fill us in when you get time, and tell him we all hope for his speedy recovery. We got a lot of rain last night and it looked to be headed your way.

    Penny--my very best wishes to you and your DH. What a nasty accident!! I'm sure you have plenty of TLC for your hubby and your plants. (remember, men can be big babies when they are not feeling well--keep your sense of humor and your patience!!)

    All our best from your hummer friends!!

    Stan thank you so much for letting everyone know why I haven't been to the forum.

    And many thanks to all of you for being so thoughtful. Hubby is taking a nap so I thought I would jump online for a minute just to say hi to everyone. He goes back to the dr. tomorrow to get his cast off and the stitches out and then they are going to put him in a walking cast if all goes well (fingers crossed). He is planning on going back to work on Monday as the company is bringing in a wheel chair for him if he will come back to work. It could take up to 3 months for his leg to completely heal but he will be able to do simple tasks hopefully sooner.

    Hummer activity here still isn't that good but I do at least see one or two a day. I did have 3 one morning at 3 different feeders at the same time but that only occured once. I also definitely have a mature male (he is so cute). Try to keep an eye on him as I know he will be leaving before long.

    Stan,
    My Dreamsicle is blooming like crazy and it is gorgeous. Now I am fighting the Japanese beetle. Have about 60 today in a bucket of soapy water

    Will check back in as time permits.

    Love you all
    Penny

    Penny I'm so glad to see you back!! I'm sorry about your husbands leg It's awful to break a leg and even worse in the summer. Hopefully when he sees the doctor tomorrow and get's his stitches out and goes into a walking cast he'll be healing much faster! I sympathize with you on the japanese beetles we have them here too and while it's no different than any other year some people seem to be getting alot more. They are eating up all of my salvia guaranitica's Sarah

    That's some baseball being played in Tennessee!!! Hope your husband heals well and quickly. Penny, take care and glad to see you back!

    Penny, I turn my head for one minute and look what happens.
    Sending bunches of SUNFLOWERS to you and Hubby.
    I know what it's like to have the responsibility of
    not only your chores but hubby's to.
    My hummer activity has increased so they are on the move.
    Bring hubby down here, y'all can sit on the porch and sip
    a big glass of tea or lemonade and watch hummers and other birds all day.

    Take care,
    Wishing you lots of hummers.

    welcome back, penny! glad your husband is progressing and that your dreamsicle is blooming. I'm so glad they came up for you there because I didn't get a one and I wondered if I had collected/stored the seeds wrong. deadhead it, and it will keep blooming again and again all season.
    hope we see you more soon!

  • 21 years ago

    Penny,
    Wishing a swift and painless recovery to your husband.
    Put him by the window so he can watch the hummers, that should help soothe him a little.

    Penny hope your husband continues to do well. I can't imagine having to be confined with a broken leg especially during the summer. Take care of yourself and your hummers.
