I Must Be Getting Old!!!

The last few weeks make me think I must be getting old. Have you ever done dumb things and hope no one finds out about it? Well I am old enough now I tell everyone when I do bad things or crazy things. Last week I decided to fix some fries. I use a fry daddy and use it in the garage on the freezer to keep so much grease out of my kitchen. I plugged it up and noticed my cat ran in the door when I came out so I went in to run him out and came back and noticed I had left the plactic lid on the fry daddy except it was now melted and in the oil. I emptied it put it in the garbage and thought about not telling anyone. I bought a new one and it is so much better than the old one.
Sunday I made a pineapple upside down cake except I forgot to use the pineapple sitting right in front of me. I am worried about what I am going to do next. Oh well I will blame it all on the cold weather which I hate. After all I don't feel like I am getting old even when I run into people I grew up with and they look old! I'm not going to worry about getting old until I start peeing my pants and sucking a pacifer. LOL. Have a good day!

You're funny too!!!! I have done so many crazy things that it would take a book to tell them all. so don't worry about yourself, you are just joining the rank of "us older folks." I just hope I keep enough sence that I will still have a friend at the end!!! LOL
I loved the fry daddy and the pineapple cake story!

Clara this picture was made in Big Stone Gap when we went up to see the boys. I thought it looked like we were driving into the water but it was fog.
