This and That Plus bad news!

 … Memorable car of the day:

 Continuing what I like to think of as desert beauty.

For today:

1.       Sherry and I have both been employed most of our lives. As a whole we have enjoyed our work; we both have had one job that we were ‘uncomfortable in’, mine was because of a ‘micro-managing boss’ hers was more due to the nature of the job. She had a job locating “lost or incomplete ‘parts’ orders” for aircraft. Some she could never ‘solve’ she likes things tidy or solved.

 

2.       Maintenance Free.  We hear that a lot. No home is maintenance free. However, I always considered Brick as tops for maintenance free. I built a few brick homes. Early in my life I watched a huge church being built, I love the appearance of the brick they had chosen. Then one day I drove by and it had been painted white! It looked very good of course, but I thought, DO they realize in 15-25 years the expense of repainting something that large? Those brick are good for hundreds of years. I mentioned this because someone told me a few days ago one of the favorite brick homes I had built had been painted, it hurt my feelings. LOL

 

 (the lighting is terrible and the brick was not this dark)

3.       Exercise?  Do you have a regular routine?  We seniors are told we should walk, and we try, but my regular exercises have fallen by the way side and I think I can tell it. At present walking is about our only exercise. WE try to do a mile a day, but even fail that, at times.

 

4.       Bad news: In this very park about 10 yrs ago, our friend Evelyn was bringing Sherry a piece of chocolate cake, she fell breaking her hip. She called Sherry just a day or so ago to tell her that she had fallen up in North Carolina, tripping over a hose, and had broken the other hip. OUCH (Please say a prayer for EVELYN AND HUBBY DON!)

PS: Concerning SOME old people:

“I’m 85 and my body is full of aches and pains.” Said He #1

“Well, I’m 85 and I feel like a newborn baby.” Said He #2

“Really?” Replied He #1

Frowning slightly He #2 quietly said, “Yep, no teeth, no hair, and I just wet my pants.”

You must be there to appreciate Depends! ;-)
