Meanwhile on the North Fork...........

Our neighbor to the right broke his ankle today. He is 11 years older than we are.

Both his daughters are here. The younger one just brought him back from the hospital.

Mrs. V spoke with the older daughter. Neighbor should be OK but for a while he can't go upstairs.
