Weekend Away - Ouch

I had a wonderful trip to the mountains this past weekend. We were staying at a fancy, dancy resort (Jasper Park Lodge) in the beautiful, Rocky Mountains.  We never get tired of the view - it is absolutely gorgeous and the food that is served is unbelievable. However, one venue or should I say menu, this year had a lot (no, not a lot...too much) mushroom inclusion! I did try the mushroom soup again - hoping that it would be similar to one I tried there a few years ago. But alas, it was not. It had the distinctive taste of mushroom (or mould as I see it ... or taste it!). For those of you who like mushrooms, you would have loved it. Everyone else said it was excellent. I on the other hand, do my best to avoid them. They were in the salad, in the sauces, in the wraps....literally everywhere. There must have been a SALE on them this year. 

However, the rest of the meal was excellent and the service is wonderful too. So many servers from different countries that come to check out our Canada and our mountains! What a wonderful place to work (according to them) too!

One fall back on the weekend - and it was literally a fall but FORWARD, not back. I slipped off the 3rd step from the bottom of some stairs due to a difference in height between them. I was 'on a roll' down the steps when the change in height caught me off guard and down I went! I broke my glasses, scraped my lip, got myself a black eye and cracked my wrist. The swelling of my lip and black eye did nothing for photo shots and my right wrist is still swollen. I went for x-rays yesterday and was advised I cracked my wrist but have not been called yet by the Dr to tell me to cast it so perhaps it is not such a big deal (in their eyes)! I am able to type, just not use my right baby fingers or ring fingers for the shift key! It's amazing how much you do with that right hand! It has caused me to slow down some - especially putting on or taking off pants, skirts, etc. Any prolonged use of my fingers at this point, causes pain. 

Anyway, just thought I would keep you up to date as to what I have been doing. Other than that - which took place as soon as we arrived at our room on Wed - the rest of the weekend went well! Beautiful weather, absolutely gorgeous views - but more of that in my next blog. I need to rest my hand now!
