A couple weeks ago, Cleve posted about Uncle Perry's broken ankle named "Lefty". On Saturday, Lynn posted the Mother's day picture taken in Grandma-Greats/Perry's back yard. In the picture, the garden is visible behind the group. At some point a basketball pad and hoop were installed in this general area, and I seem to remember Uncle Perry breaking or severely spraining his ankle on the edge of this basketball court. At the next family event at Uncle Perry's, I seem to remember a rather detailed "reenactment" of the shot that resulted in the sprained ankle.
Is this, in fact the second time Perry has been laid up with a broken ankle? Did the reenactment occur? Am I the only one who remembers this or can someone else validate my memory? Just curious if I remember it correctly.

I remember the re-enactment. I think Cleve was involved. Hilarious as I remember it...
The re-enactment did, indeed, take place with Uncle Perry demonstating, in great detail, how he shot the ball, rebounded, and then dribbled off the end of the concrete pad -- badly spraining (but not breaking) his ankle. I was there videotaping the re-enactment and have it on home video. If I was more computer savvy, I'd try to transfer it to dvd, then to the Blog, but don't count on it. Uncle Perry's recent ankle BREAK is much, much worse.

I remember the re-enactment too. It was pretty funny. I am wondering if the basketball hoop is still there. Be careful, Perry.
Cleve -- I hope you can figure out how to post that video!
