Missed Opportunity
Well! I think I should be offended.
I guess Dee didn't think me trying to mow for the first time was such a good idea. I guess she just didn't trust me.
We got up early this morning, Mama and I, and realized we had to wait a bit for the grass to dry before I fired up the ancient lawn mower.
Just as it was about dry enough for me to get started, my nephew showed up. Dee had called and told him to "hurry up and get to Grandma's and mow." She claims she's trying to save me from myself.......
So no silly stories. I'm looking at this as I dodged the bullet. You see, no matter what I did, it wouldn't be the way Mama does it....and I'll tell you folks - she is PICKY about her yard.
So I'll let Master B (my nephew) take one for the team. Me? I'll just curl up here on the couch and sip my coffee.
I can learn to mow another day.
Maybe.....

Posted by: pam at September 1, 2007 09:44 AMHey, even I learned to mow without hurting myself. It took awhile. I mean, just starting the mower took awhile. So I know you can do it... I mean, someday, if people let you.
