SLIPPING AND SLIDING

How does it feel to be 74 years old, weigh around 220 and have your feet slide out from under you in a bathtub.?

Not good......  I was standing up in the shower a little while ago and had bent down and washed my feet with soap (from a soap bar).  I do one foot at a time that way and then move my foot around in the shower water on the bottom of the bathtub until the soap is all off and I can stand on that foot, and lift the other one to wash it.  Evidently I did not get all of the soap off of the clean foot.  I slammed the side of my head into the end wall of the shower and my body hit hard on the floor of the bathtub.  I was dazed for a moment but seem to be okay.  Heart rate moved up a little bit!!  I am now headed out to buy some non-slip mats to put in the bottom of the bathtub!!  Amen...............

Sunny Weather in Arizona

Well, it was cold for awhile----and now it's back up around 70 in the daytime.  I love it!  I see that Tucson got in the World Wide News for awhile.  I don't like the way we got there.  So I'm not going to talk about it. I've got to take a trip back to Globe-Miami soon as I need to pick up some more of my belongings that are still up there.  And I need to see that my friends mobile home roof gets some repair work done on it.  She is a couple of years older than I and lives alone with her 3 dogs and a stray cat that she took in as a starving kitten.  My grandson who just turned 21 has yet to get a drivers license.  Now he is taking a weeks vacation from his work and wants me to give him some more lessons.  That means that I have to ride with him while he makes his learning mistakes---some of which makes me a little nervous.  I have never been in a serious accident and I'm too old to start now!!!  This pic of Tammy below, I did not find until today on a camera that I seldom use anymore.  It is tough to get so attached to an animal and then lose them in a senseless accident. Well it is getting close to 1 in the morning and time for this old geezer to hit the hay.  Take Care and again:  HAPPY NEW YEAR.
She slept at my feet, would follow me everywhere I went
in the house and any time I was gone for any period of
time--when I came in, I would lay down on my bed and
and she would lick my face for the longest time.  I sure
do miss her!!!!!!!
