Brute’s Bleat by Harold Brutlag

It’s been a good month since I’ve sat in front of this lap top putting together some type of a weekly column. So to start off the happenings since I took a spill in our driveway while unloading a 22 in. self propelled lawn mower and fractured my right hip. The surgery was in the St. Cloud Hospital and convalescence at Lake Ridge Care Center, in Buffalo. My thanks to the professionals at both places for their skills and rehabilitation care which has me on my feet, but not suited for any foot races yet! I also want to thank my family and friends for the numerous phone calls, cards and letters wishing me well. It was great to hear from so many people and I’m hoping this will be the last time for unnecessary accidents for me! A year ago it was a fall on Maple Lake’s ice that broke my left hip.
