Awkward! 😳

 I didn’t post for a few days because there wasn’t a lot to report.  I rested this pesky heel all day Monday.  We did laundry and Mark washed Minnie on Tuesday and I rested my heel more.


Wednesday I resorted to riding a scooter at Walmart.  Mark decided we should buy a wheel chair so I agreed if he was willing to push me!  After a search at a couple of places, we found a little wheelchair at a thrift store!

It was a perfect fit thanks to some recent weight loss!😂


Thursday was the first day of Silver Dollar City’s Bluegrass & BBQ Festival!  It was great to have friends Bill & Peg Sale, Harry & Linda Ludwig, and Brian & Kathy Adams meet us there bright and early.  

What a guy!
I took this “selfie” of Peg and I as we were waiting for the flag ceremony.  Notice how tightly Mark is holding on to my chair on that hilly street. I was completely confident with my feet both up on the fold down foot platforms without a care in the world. And then.....

As they were honoring our veterans, suddenly I didn’t know why but I thought Mark was pushing me quickly out of the crowd for some reason.  I suddenly realized I no longer had a knight in shining armor holding tightly to the handles and I was heading right straight for a couple down the hill!! I don’t think I hit them, but I don’t know how I got stopped either!!
I honestly don’t know what happened, so I asked innocent bystander Peg Sale to give this first person account for us:

“My account of the run away wheelchair chair at SDC.  
We are all standing around talking and all of a sudden there goes Vicki lickety split down the hill towards a couple and we all looked and thought she knew these people and was excited see them, especially since Mark wasn't concerned.  I looked again and she is running into this couple.  Water bottle goes flying and Mark gives me this look like “I guess I better go get her.” I still didn't know what this was all about.  She gets back up the hill and that's when we all find out she was a run away and had no idea who the people were that she ran into.   We all laughed all day about Vicki's meeting new not so happy new friends.🤣🤣🥰


Seriously.... could anything have been more embarrassing??  And I STILL don’t know what happened!
