So today, after my foot fracture, I'm back to using the scooter. My doctor said walk so I walked all over the place inflaming my foot something awful. With Bill's help, I literally stayed off my feet for 24 hours and then nearly all the day yesterday. I cooked dinner and my foot swelled but there was less pain. It's been long enough for the bone to heal but the soft tissue damage is terrible. I know I've said it before but I've been stepped on over and over all of my life. As a child I wore flipflops or rode barefoot. Things were different then and my poor toes paid the price. I had one horse do a roll back and land on my feet,. (true story) But nothing compares to the damage a kind gentle Belgian Draft can do when a wasp is involved.

BUT today I walked out a Phoenix and Flashy. I did NOT walk out Ellie who is still a baby... a really really big baby.

We often have visitors with mobility issues. We have an old golf cart which a friend sold us for $500, way under what it was worth. We use it for everything including taking visitors with mobility issues around to see the horses. But there's only enough seating for 4 including the driver and, honestly, the back seat isn't as safe as we'd like. But we've made it work for almost 9 years.

So we decided that we should see what's out there. The golf cart (electric) is perfect, it's quiet and you can talk while you ride. We looked before but they are just so expensive especially when you try to add seats. $15,000+ was not something we could even consider.

The first thing we saw was this one. It was a great price and even in our colors. And it was half the cost of what we had seen with a built-in charger and seating for 6 with only 20 miles on it. Dare we? Then we spent hours looking to make sure it was as great a deal as we thought. It was. But it was in Dover, Delaware. We offered the buyer less than he asked (as much as we could) and explained why we wanted it. Yesterday at 5am, Bill headed to Dover. He purchased "Clifford" and turned right around and headed home. Ten hours later, Bill poured himself out of the truck and Clifford was home. There are seat belts and safety bars. It's lifted so it is a little less bumpy too.

Those with mobility issues will be so much safer and we're so proud to be able to do this. We love the joy on faces when those who cannot are able to move around the farm and visit with horses. We love that friends will be able to go with friends and caregivers in one trip. Meet Clifford.
