Compared to what? I’m taller than my father but my uncle towered over me, he was a lighthouse keeper. (Six foot one inch in my stockinged shoes)

RU thinking of wearing elf shoes this holiday?
 
🤣 No, (you have made me laugh twice before I had my coffee this a.m. , which is not an easy feat.)
RU retired/pensioner?
 
I kind of retired early in a way for health reasons, I discovered working was bad for my health when I fell off a ladder and hurt my hip a little. It has had its upside though because the ballet dancing was becoming a strain.

RU drinking a coffee :coffee: nicely?

(It’s good to laugh early, now you’ve got it out of your system you can go back to normal 😉 have a lovely day 🙏)
 
As nice as I am able, and as long as I am doing well in today’s crossword puzzle.
RU following the news on the wildfires in California?
 
I’m in the UK and I must admit that I haven’t been reading the news at all for a few weeks now. I did catch sight of a headline though. My heart goes out to the families involved and for those who have perished. We can but pray for them all.

RU near that area Milt?
 
No I am in Indiana which close to 2000 miles away. My Sister in Law lives in that area,but got away safely. We are unsure if she has suffered property damage. Agreed on the prayers.
RU fond of fishing?

My dear departed brother in law once took me fishing for the first time when I was eight yrs old and he was about twenty three or so. We went to a disused sand quarry which was full of water, and somehow some fish. I impaled a living creature on a metal hook, what! Then waited for …💤…suddenly something moved and I eagerly followed instructions as to how to reel in my first catch, I struggled, the fish struggled but I won and there it was, almost three inches long! A stickleback. My brother in law was delighted and smiling fondly at me told me to throw it back in. Back in. I just caught it. Now throw it back in.

I’ve never been fishing again. Why spoil a memory of such a victory on my very first expedition by enduring countless future failures. The only hunting I’ve done since was when I recently made a humane mouse trap and caught a little chap in my garage. I drove him two miles away and watched as he darted off to a new life in the corn fields. We still write.

RU planning a trip today.

(I hope your sister in laws property is sound.)

Not yet, but the new catalogs should be arriving in the next couple of weeks then I will.
RU a poker player?
 
Neither. I rarely drink coffee and on those occasions usually go to a café to have it. There’s no point in keeping coffee around at home for the one or two cups I’ll consume annually…

RU in RCIA?
 
No, I once joined a political party and they disbanded within six months, I do believe in clubbing however, after all it was by clubbing together that we beat the dinosaurs 🦖

RU thinking of dinosaurs?
 
No, but why exactly is a constant mystery to me.

(My mother in law comes round every Saturday, bang bang bang on the front door, it really gets on my nerves after a couple of hours. Bob monkhouse rip.)

RU thinking of throwing away several old tv remote controls finally?
