Shadows and Senior Silliness

Bud and I took the grandsons to the park one day last week while we were visiting my son and his family on Baimbridge Island, WA. I could not resist taking my turn on the slide, and Bud couldn't resist taking pictures of me making a fool of myself. Thank goodness he stopped before I made my wonderful plop at the bottom. The child in the background in two of the shots is our seven year old grandson. I may be 73, but it is obvious I am still a child at heart and have no trouble poking fun at myself.

    In our senior years, we can get back to our playful roots, right?

    I say, why grow up if you don't feel like it. :) Bud captured the fun beautifully.

    Hope you landed softly and spared your back...'old' is truly a state of mind. We may age, but never are old unless we will our minds to accept it - every April, I redefine the term 'old' to keep from feeling that I could be so! Fun is at any age, always aim for the brass ring...

    Love the shadowy ladder shapes round the slide! It's so much fun enjoying the children's playground! I can never resist the swing, but I make sure not too many children are around when I have a go!

    Now that looks like fun...You had asked about my ducks on the deck post...I think that little female was on the ducklings of a Mama duck who showed up in the yard after having her bill damaged by a snapping turtle. She was weak and not able to be caught so I fed her and her ducklings until she regained her strength and she was able to raise her 2 ducklings...Michelle..
