Growing old sucks!!!

It is amazing the things we take for granted and as you get older they change..

Some of you have heard us talk about friends of our's Betty and Elwood they have been a large part of our lives in Smithville they watched both of our girls as they were growing up and we have spent a lot of time with them socially as well. Elwood and I have fished together used to have regular Tuesday nights at the Legion shooting pool they have been to our girls birthdays and graduations ..have vacationed together at there daughters cottage in Quebec i could go on and on but I am sure you get the picture.

Well over the last couple of years his eyesight has been failing he tried to hide it for a while but finally realized thet he was putting his and Betty's safety and others on the road in jeopardy so he willingly parked his car but kept insurance on it for when he could drive it again. Over the last year and a half give or take he has submitted to injections in his eyes hoping it would improve his sight but to no avail......He called me .... actually his wife called Jeannine at work and asked if I could call Elwood as he wanted to talk to me. When I called him he told me he finally has come to realize that his sight was no better and asked if I could help him sell his car. Well tonight I took someone out to their place and he bought the car from him. After I left I was thinking how hard a decision it would be for me to give up driving which is something we all take for granted.. need to go to the store get in the car,need to go say hi to someone get in the car. Here is a person that drove truck as a living now they have to depend on Bus's,taxi's and freinds to do things they took for granted. I respect him for making the right decision but still think it was the only thing he could do.

We always have tried to take them places when we can and will continue to do so but I am sure that tonight will be hard for him because of a decision that growing old has forced him to make.,..

The room was full of pregnant women, with their partners. The Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurances to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.
She said: "Ladies: remember that exercise is GOOD for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier!"
She looked at the men in the room. "And gentlemen, remember: you're in this together. So it wouldn't hurt you to go walking with your partner." The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information. Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?" asked the teacher.
"I was just wondering," the man said, "is it all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"

Just some funny signs...

Just a couple of pictures I have gotten from the pig roast...

Oh and bye the way quite the Labour day game Hmmmmmm

SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the enthusiastic "Crocodile Hunter" who enthralled audiences around the world with his wildlife adventures, died Monday morning after being stung by a stingray while shooting a TV program off Australia's north coast.

Media reports say Irwin was snorkeling at Batt Reef, a part of the Great Barrier Reef about 9 miles (about 15 kilometers) from the town of Port Douglas, when the incident happened.

Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest, according to Cairns police sources.

Irwin was in the area to film pieces for a show called "The Ocean's Deadliest" with Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques, according to Irwin's manager and friend John Stainton. But weather had prevented the crew from doing work for that program, Stainton said, so Irwin decided to do some softer features for a new children's TV show he was doing with his daughter, Bindi.

"He came over the top of a stingray that was buried in the sand, and the barb came up and hit him in the chest," Stainton said.

Wildlife documentary maker Ben Cropp, citing a colleague who saw footage of the attack, told Time.com that Irwin had accidentally boxed the animal in. "It stopped and twisted and threw up its tail with the spike, and it caught him in the chest," said Cropp. "It's a defensive thing. It's like being stabbed with a dirty dagger."
