So glad you weren't hurt but just think of it this way, everyone needed a good laugh! I'm always tickled if I can make someone laugh either at me or with me! We were in Paducah one year at a quilt show & this really heavy lady was going to try to sit down on the curb. She asked for 2 of my friends help holding her arms so she could sit down gracefully. Before you know it, she was over on her back & her feet straight up in the air & we all laughed so hard we had tears rolling down our faces. HER INCLUDED! Weebles fall down but they don't fall over is what we said all day long!

This icy stuff is melting, but it is so slippery in the process. I am walking like a penguin all the time. I am so ready for NO ICE!
Glad you weren't more seriously hurt. Dignity can heal more quickly than bones and bruises. Take care all.

I have an old pair of pantaloons! They are a hoot! But they do cover a multitude of ???? They are made of a gauzy fabric and like a wrap around skirt in the back with all this fabric. It must have taken a long time to tend to the necessaries. I don't even like buttons, zippers, or snaps when I get the urge! Incontinence is a word I don't want to entertain!
