Sunday Morning , Falling Down!
I don't have a photo , but there should be one. This morning I went to an ecumenical out door service with some friends. We set up our chairs under a shady maple. Before the service began I spotted a gentleman handing out programs. I ran over to him and asked for a couple. On my way back to my seat, I tripped over a root and wen sprawling ,face first on the ground. There must have been a hundred people on the lawn, who witnessed my demise. To say it was embarrassing is an understatement! I was wearing a dress. I'm sure when I fell my lime green panties with pink ladybugs was exposed for all to see. A kind (cute) man came to my rescue. He helped me up and dusted me off and escorted me to my place. All I could do was to slink down and be very still in hopes everyone would forget the spectacle.
I don't like growing old. It's a lot like growing little again. Falling down on your face! Forgetting that it's Sunday and getting ready for a doctor's appointment,that isn't till tomorrow.
My wrist is throbbing. I hope it isn't breaking, The shame was greater than the pain. But now that I'm home it's hurting.
I haven't written for ages, The three readers(my two daughters and my sister in law ) have probably given up on me. I've been having too much fun this summer. It's been hot and sunny for over three weeks! We are getting acclimatized to this weather. I hate to think of it changing,
More and more I think I should move to Florida. I feel so happy when the sun is shining.

Oh me too! How do we grow old gracefully??? Is it even possible? Arggg!
(But errmmm did you put those lime green panties on to go to the doctor?? *Giggle**)
since you're going to be falling down anyway, it's nice to have cute panties.
xo
Hahaaa! I think I'm going to keep that as a silly quote!!
There is nothing funny about falling and hurting yourself and it is embarassing, isn't it? But, the good thing is that most of those people will never remember your face, only your pretty panties.
It's not age that tripped you up. It's the speed with which you tear around...a family flaw (except Joyce, who saunters).
Hmmm...cute huh? Maybe he thought your pretty panties were cute too?
I'd offer you to move to Bolivia with us but it's not as warm as Florida!
I am delurking to tell you that I always stop by to read your posts so you can add one more reader to your list, I come by through Notes to Self, I was a childhood friend of your daughter, I enjoy your creativity, I would rather read your blog and several others than the newspaper. Please keep writing.

Oh Auntie M! Great to have you back - but sorry to hear about your fall.
Cutie panties are a plus, just in case of such accidents. If it makes you feel better, I'm just hitting 30, and I fall down. all. the. time.
Florida in summer is the pits. Way too hot, too many bugs, too many tornadoes. Though there is something to be said for the place in January and February when there is a thin wind and the snow's blowing horizontal, if not up again.
Thanks for coming by my site! I'm half Newf on my mother's side by the way...though I was born in Montreal and grew up in TO...
