The Red Queen Affair

Where it all happened

Nope that wasnt really true either. This is our dock in Stuart FL which was hit by 2 major hurricanes last year. The dock is over 30o feet long and there were no boards left after Jeanne did her thing. It has now been partically rebuilt but not totally finished on either end. I was actually fighting with the lawnmower over who should cut the knee high grass and it almost won as it pushed me backwards and I fell into a hole like the one you see in the forefront of the picture. First instinct when falling backwards it to hang on to whatever you have in hands reach- I warn you that running lawn mowers are not a good thing to hang on to but fortunately I heard the Lord clearly that day and He said "let go Stupid"- yes, He does actually call me stupid sometimes! I let go just as I was catching the lawnmower with my legs and so I only have a backside shot to show off and not a ton of stitches or a peg leg. Here I must imput the fact that when it was suggested that perhaps I would want to tie the safety devises together so the mower would keep running I thought hunting down a piece of rope was just too darned much work. Must been all that Salva Vida I was drinking for my blogging buds!!! Thank God for each of you. May you be as blessed as I am feeling just not as sore.
