Thanksgiving was great for me and my family! We had an amazing dinner and my personal favorites were turkey of course and cranberry relish, sweet potato casserole with marsh mellows on top! We watched football and played card games.
I know I'm keeping you in suspense because of the title so I'll just tell you what happened.
A couple days ago when Art and his friend Donny came out with the groceries my dad was walking down the board walk (it had snowed then rained then froze all the day before so it was extremely slippery) and he was walking down a steep part covered in ice that leads down under the lodge. His left foot slipped and his right foot caught him but his weight shifted and his ankle buckled underneath and while falling he heard a pop in his right ankle. All we know is either he broke his ankle or he just got a super bad sprain. I hope its just a sprain. His ankle is very swelled up and he can't put any weight on it at all. Its so swelled up that when he got a brace for his ankle it didn't fit. He has to go around the house on crutches and even then just moving around hurts him. He's doing a lot better though each day.
Since he got hurt my and mom have learned so much about the lodge! We know how to turn on and off the generator and and the drain the water pipes when it gets to cold. Also how to pump fuel into the generator tank (which we did today). We've been taking care of the lodge all day, everyday since dad got hurt and I haven't been able to do very much school. So I'm a little behind but mom says that if I work hard then maybe I'll catch up later. My dad called up Kevin Johnson (a guy who has worked here before). He came out here today and is going to cut some wood for us because we are getting low. And anything that needs to be done while he's here, he has to leave on Monday or Tuesday so he can get back on the barge he is working on.
