Don't "mock" your granny
While talking to my good friend Cheryl and discussing her painful incidents of falling lately, once off the kitchen counter top, ugh, and then smack down on her face downtown on the sidewalk, in front of people and God :-).....she is now laughing about the latter incident. Anyway, it reminded me of a certain "bike" incident with the grandsons. This picture was taken about summer '99. That's Pat, Stayton, Kyle, Kody and myself. We had taken the boys to ride the Glenwood Canyon bike trail.....it's 18 miles? or so. Beautiful day, great ride, so fun.Anyway.....we spent a lot of time biking with these boys. One day while riding, right downtown, as we were crossing an intersection the boys were yipping at each other and I was tired of hearing it. As we made it to the other side of the street, I stopped, put my feet down and turned to tell them to "shut it up"!!! Well, Kody, not expecting me to make a sudden stop bumped into my bike and there I went, bike and all, flopped over on the sidewalk, right in front of traffic that was stopped for the light. I was trapped under the bike and squirming, trying to free myself before all the world could see. I looked up at Kody (who was smiling at the whole thing anyway) and demanded he help me up. He looked down at me and says "Grandma, you look ridiculous!" Those boys were fighting back the laughter as I managed to pull myself out of the whole mess.I mentioned the incident to Stayton last night (now some 10 years later) and he's still laughing and admitting that they laughed about it for days, hysterically no doubt (out of my sight). So boys, here's a lesson for you......"Don't mock your granny" I have pictures, lots of pictures and yes......I'm now on Facebook too! :-)

Post them, post them. LOL Get even. By the way I'm also on Facebook, mostly to keep track of our kids. I'm listed as Patty Custer Lincoln, I did it that way, since any kids I went to school with back in the dark ages, always called me Patty (not Patricia) and Custer was my maiden name.
