Kimberly, thanks for th...Thanks for your comments!<br /><br />Kimberly, thanks for the hugs and for your offer to help with the pastel making!<br /><br />Maeona, yes, it was a tough situation. My bruises are all gone now and the cuts are just scars. I agreed with you that my wet pastel box was kind of beautiful, in a smelly way.<br /><br />Maria, there's usually a down side to having a good story. But, the up side is that I survived. It's a pretty good up side, I'd say.<br /><br />Brenda, you're right. The experience did shake me up. I think that I had to face my wrong ideas about my invincibility. Life is fragile. Handle with care.<br /><br />Gretha, I'll pass the hug along to Angie. I think that she suffered the trauma of being the rescuer and still is thinking about what she could have done better to get me out of the water. One day this will fade from memory but it's still pretty fresh. I've discovered a whole lexicon of watery figures of speech, though.<br /><br />Life is good. Very good. I won't forget that!Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816170091944672081.post-67881719949905892592009-08-04T15:23:01.930-07:002009-08-04T15:23:01.930-07:00I just read about your mishap between the boat and...I just read about your mishap between the boat and the dock! Horrors!! Your description of the event gives me shivers. Your guardian muse was surely watching over you that day. It's so good Angie and the rest were there to respond.

I shudder to think what could have happened, not that this wasn't bad enough. Thank goodness Angie was there to help, and all of the others that stepped in. <br />So, of course, I tried to call you on your cell to check on you personally when I remembered that your cell was a "casualty" of the fall. Please know that we are all thinking and praying for you here.<br />I love you so much, and am so glad you're okay!<br />Love,<br />SharonSharon Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129065011979036626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816170091944672081.post-2502479459199283292009-07-11T07:43:38.342-07:002009-07-11T07:43:38.342-07:00Bullwinkle (John) thanks for your well wishes!

I had a chance to talk to one of the other helpers last night and she said that right before the boat arrived she could feel me letting go of her hand. It could have been worse.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll be pretty cautious for a long while, but the good life sounds pretty good.

The Coast Guard also took a report. I can do without that kind of excitement.<br /><br />Today I'm okay, but sore in my shoulders and arms.

Well, you missed painting today and things were ruined, but you lived to tell the story and for that I am very grateful indeed! Give Angie a high five from me. I bet you are shook up.
