Rona went to her best friend's birthday party. Joan is 3 months younger than Rona, and it was a great opportunity to catch up with friends and celebrate a special girl.

Update

Please excuse the sporadic posts, I can't type much, my hand isn't broken (thankfully) but it is very swollen and bruised.

But Rona is doing well, she is taking great care of me.
She has discovered a love to cutting things. I have bought her a set of plastic scissors, they have a small spring in them to make them easier to use for preschoolers.

Must remember to disinfect the ladder if I am ever let on a ladder again ;)
