Colonel does it again...

The five p's were in place, but slippage at my age takes on several meanings. After my fall from the roof at the farm house, I was very careful to plan, test, and evaluate, my ascension to the second story to remove the chimney cover and blow the straw out of the V's. But due to the senior slippage, I apparently did not test or evaluate properly my descent from the second roof line..I turned to place my feet directly under me so I could insure no slippage to the ladder resting solidly on the bottom roof. No need to worry, as I turned, both feet went out like I had stepped on ice, and this 180 reached maximum velocity rather quickly, bounced on the first floor roof, and I sailed off that roof in the exact spot as last spring, hit the deck bench with my head, hands and legs, bounced off and into the roots of the adjacent pine tree....voo ja day...de ju vew, but it really hurt, didn't loose consciousness, crawled over to the deck, turned over and the blood filled my eyes, had cracked the skin over my left eye..Blue and Cutter beat Susan there, and there were very helpful as was Susan, who insisted I go to the emergency room for stitches, which I explained that would cost a lot, and I couldn't finish my mowing for the day, and she said, well, it probably won't leave a big scar.. break, hope I can attach a few pics, the twins and twins and babies all came over for Pizz a for my 62 birthday bash, and Sue Sue told witches stories and scared Paul and Ainsley....love always Col
