Stop me if I've told this one.
In new homes, the painters paint the doors before they are hung in place. Once they've painted them they stand them up in the center of a big room balanced against each other in a precarious manner. We have to move them of course, to do our floor. We had a young gung ho fellow helping us one day and he gung ho-ingly grabbed the wrong door first. They began to tumble. We try our best to keep from doing damage when we work, I caught the first door with my left forearm and it slid down to my wrist, taking some DNA with it. I was able to lift my right leg to catch the second with my knee, I reached up in time to catch the third with the palm of my right hand. I know...I looked like the karate kid in a crane stance. That's when the fourth caught my chin and I dropped it to my chest. The fifth was brutal, it landed on the bridge of my nose forcing my head down...more like a Shaolin monk in a praying mantis stance. I don't recall, but, I was told the sixth and seventh crashed together on the crown of my head. When I woke up I found myself strapped down with what seemed to be 2 or even 3 rolls of duct tape. Some might think,"That's a cruel thing to do to someone who has just been injured." It turns out, it was an act of kindness, it was to keep me from rolling around in the back of the pickup on the way to emergency. The doctor was eyeing me over as he finished the last stitches, I could tell he was wondering what the other guy looked like and was expecting the standard "I walked into a door" answer. He didn't expect "I walked into seven doors".
Have a great day
Loved

♥♥Dear Edward,
You sure opened the door to April with another surprising tale of misadventure.🎭(None of us would have tried to stop you from telling it, either.)
💃I felt every scrape and bang of this one. The pictures you create are so vivid that I seem to be watching events as they unfold.📹 The funniest image is the one of you taped to the bed of a pick-up truck on your way to the hospital.🚑 And I'm still smiling at the look on the doctor's face when you told him you had walked into seven doors.🚪🚪🚪🚪🚪🚪🚪
😃You are so funny!
Love you lots, Louise

🎎HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MONA AND STEPHEN!🎎
It hardly seems necessary to remind you to have a day of fun and festivity as you celebrate 11 years of marriage.💑 Together, the two of you actually put the "happy" in "Happy Anniversary".😍
Recently, we followed on Facebook your holiday adventures in the Dominican Republic.🏂 The pictures showed how much you were enjoying your time together in that beautiful place.📷 It must have been like a pre-anniversary gift to one another.💏
Here in Peachland we'll be raising a toast to your continuing health and happiness for many years to come.... one great day at a time.🍻 Cheers!
💌Lots of love,
Louise and David

This stunning, sunny morning in Peachland reminds us of the idyllic day you had for your wedding in Hawaii six years ago today.🌅 The pictures of that celebration of your love for one another are particularly beautiful.💑 In that special time with family and friends, you created memories to last a lifetime.♥♥
💐💍💏We hope your Saturday anniversary celebration has all of the elements of the day you were married and more. Carter is sure to make sure that is the case as you share a joyful family day with him.👪 Now we will drink to many happy returns of this occasion in your lives.🍻

🎎HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MARCIA AND DENNIS!🎎
Our Book of Days makes this your SAPPHIRE anniversary.💍 Whatever you decide to do on this first Sunday in April, we hope it is truly a gem of a day for you as you celebrate 45 years of marriage. Congratulations!🎆
We can imagine you in Hemet or Victoria or somewhere in between as springtime draws you back to Canada.🚙 Always, the roads you travel take you through scenic, open places that touch your hearts, stir your imaginings and add to your love of life.♥ When we raise a toast to you later today, we will celebrate the unique blend of two creative spirits who form a singularly delightful couple.💑 Cheers!🍻
💌Lots of love,
Louise and David

Hi Loved,
What a way to start a month. I laughed so hard I almost walked into a door. It is a terrible thing to say, but I love your misfortunes. They provide so much entertainment that it is appropriate to say "Break a Leg!"
BJ is right, Ed. Everyone looks forward to the opening post of each new month. We repeat, "Break a leg!"

Dear Lucy,
Thanks for the wonderful birthday greetings. We are back in Ottawa today and back to the Blog which we neglected while we were away. We had a wonderful time and your snail mail cards were part of the fun and celebration. I will get a letter off to you within the next few days.
Love, BJ

Vicky Jean says, Hi Lucy & Dave, so happy to get your message on this memorable birthday...spent the day at Mont Tremblant/Quebec with Don, Bob and BJ with hundreds of skiers surrounding us. As BJ said, we were about the only people without skis in the village. It was great fun and we are now back in Ottawa after our five day stay in Quebec. Heading to Kingston tomorrow to spend 3 days with the Kimmetts before heading home to Saskatoon. Hope to talk to you soon to thank you properly for my birthday card and letter.
😊Hi Vicky Jean and Don,
Sounds like Mont Tremblant is a nice place for non-skiers too.🎿 We're glad you enjoyed your time there with BJ and Bob.🎆 Have fun in Kingston, too, and make a safe journey back to Saskatoon.🚗 Cheers!🍻
