Cute Sis. Vorwaller and I are standing by a favorite tree of Elder McKinnon our director who named it the "Winnie the Pooh" tree. He was leading us along the trail on our first hike up Patriarch Hill on one of our first prep. days. Now you can't see much past the tree because of all the leaves on the trees. We now hike all the way from our cabin to the top and back which is four and a half mile round trip. We go on the mornings when we have our 11:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. shift at the Memorial. It was a bright crisp hike today since it was about 42 degrees when we left at 7:00 A.M. We were having such a nice walk down when Sis. Vorwaller twisted her ankle on a rock hidden by leaves. It really scared me to see her roll head over heels. We're grateful she didn't hit something solid with her head. It took a few minutes to shake it off before she could start walking slowly and she did o.k. getting back down. However, it has swollen somewhat in spite of putting ice on it after we got home. She feels like walking kept it from swelling worse. It is sore but she gets around as much as she needs to. We just won't be able to walk to the Memorial for awhile which makes us sad.
