I was out driving around today looking at houses for sale in Waynesboro when I stopped back by my son's house. He was in the back yard filling in some low spots. I walked over to look at some plants, stepped into a low spot, and promptly went down. I'm thankful for soft grass and the fact that I wasn't on a sidewalk somewhere.
After I got up, with my kids' help, I drove to W*l-Mart to their optical department to get my glasses straightened. Although I'm sore, I don't think I'll be any worse for the wear...hopefully not, anyway.
What a beautiful day here in Waynesboro. It has been picture perfect, cool in the morning, sunny and mild during the day. Spring is erupting. I'm so glad that I get a chance to see the dogwood in bloom. It has always been one of my favorite flowering trees.

I'm sorry you fell, and glad to know it wasn't serious. I love that quote about the size 10. I can remember being a size 10 (sigh).
Glad nothing other than possibly your pride was hurt!
Good luck on the househunting!
:)
Good to hear you weren't seriously hurt. Accidents out of the blue are the pits.
Hug that baby Ella for me tonight!
Barbara Johnson once said, "I'm a perfect size 10. I just cover it with fat so it won't get scratched."
Loved this quote and the one at the end...
I'm glad you are ok...I took a tumble once running from a dog...got a mouthful of gravel and the breath knocked out of me...
I identify with your fall. My daughter's wedding reception was in the backyard, beautifully lit with lanterns. The bride and groom were ready to cut the cake on the patio, and I went looking for my husband so he could share the big moment. My high heel sunk deep in the grass and I fell flat on my face! It was a darker area of the yard, and although I was surrounded by dozens of people nobody noticed. I climbed up, dusted myself off, and then saw an older lady just sitting there watching me. I still feel embarrassed when I imagine how it all looked!
Oh, Beverly, the *private header* is so much more fun to tell about than to take! I'm glad you weren't hurt. I've stepped in a couple holes and tripped over a dog or two myself. I also actually stepped off a ladder once into the paint bucket up over my ankle but with an audience!
House hunting!!! What fun for you.
How about those Braves!!
Hi Bev! I am so sorry to read about your fall and hope you are feeling better now, a few days after the fact! Please say Hi to David, Sabrina & Ella for me! All the best from Tennessee, Heather Williams
I sympathize heartily over the fall. I've had some nasty ones, in the past 10-15 years, and still have trouble from the last two really bad ones.
As for the fat, I'm really a size 8, but with such a propensity for falling, I've surrounded it with an extra 3 sizes of fat--and it's really hard for someone my age to find clothes in an 11! And oh, boy, have my belly and its fat got a love affair going!
Those low spots in the yard are hard to navigate.... so are mole or vole holes. The weather has been nice for a few days.... then yesterday summer arrived with a bang... no wonder I was so hot up in Williamsburg.
