(Reminds me of a couple of summers ago, I crashed a door into my toe and had to go to a wedding wearing sandals to accommodate my bauble toe that looked similar to yours. Hope you live in a place where you don't have to jam your digit into tight shoes or boots. Maybe you can tell, I feel your pain.)<br /><br /><a href="http://vnesdolypoems.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Violet N.</a>Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-87940472630321235992013-12-07T12:54:19.709-05:002013-12-07T12:54:19.709-05:00Yikes - hope the wrapping comes off this present s...Yikes - hope the wrapping comes off this present soon!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-58664120102947918502013-12-06T22:56:04.916-05:002013-12-06T22:56:04.916-05:00Aww, Mary Lee, I can relate.
