Tuff as Nails!

  This Mom of mine is tuff as nails; in more than one way!  Mom was helping Larin round the cows up to take them out to pasture when her horse bucked and she got thrown off the back.  Dad rushed her to the hospital to find out she fractured a rib and got two compression fractures in her back.  She is expected to make a full recovery but is pretty sore and bruised up for now.  Needless to say Mom is out for the last 2 weeks of school and the remaining 3 field trips are left up to Dad and Larin.....this might be what's keeping her in good spirits considering ; ).
