Assistant Hair-Artist involved in Freak Pruning Accident!!

A freak pruning accident leaves Michelle disfigured after falling from a large persimmon tree on September 9th. Michelle, who currently serves as Assistant Hair-Artist and occasional Activities Chair, was teaching some basic pruning skills to a group of children last Saturday when a large bird attacked her skilsaw. The bird lost its legs in the rotating blades sending the emancipated limbs into the crowd of small children who began to panick. Somehow in the confusion, Michelle was caught in the cord of the saw which caused her to lose her balance. She fell 16 feet from the tree, face-first, onto a riding lawnmower which was in use. Fortunately the operator of the mower was not injured and he had just emptied his clippings so he was able to drive Michelle to the hospital at a frenzied speed of 8 miles per hour.
Michelle is recovering nicely now and though she no longer has control of her eyebrows, she is anxious to finish her pruning job. We all wish her a quick recovery and want her to know that we never liked her for her looks anyway. Join us at the Lounge in wishing Michelle well by posting your comments here.
