Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Hello, Pond!
Well, I started my vacation in CO off with a bang today. Literally. We got here last night, visited for a while before going to bed. This morning I got up to go for a walk with DH and his cousin (our hostess). We didn’t make it two houses away when I stepped off the edge of the curb. I ended up smacking my face on the sidewalk, scratching my sunglasses (they’re ruined) and getting a cut over my eye. I felt fine, but was sent back to the house because none of us had Kleenex or a napkin, and for some reason my companions didn’t want to be seen walking down the street with me with blood running down my face…

Just a tiny little cut, but boy did it bleed!

Any cut on the head will bleed freely as the head is so vascular.

Happy 4th..and all I have to say is if you're traveling, drive safe! Our granddaughter was driving all of their family, but my son and a grandson, to Mexico..8 people in the car including mom. She went to merge, saw that a car was coming up fast, she over corrected the car and flipped it twice. A miracle happened. No was hurt too bad. Mom.. daughter in law, had a goose egg on head, a couple of kids had scratches. The firefighters were amazed that it didn't burn out worse for them. A miracle happened for my family yesterday. Check out how many air bags were in that van. I've been saying thank you prayers since I got a message from my son..thstvstsyed home yesterday. Him too!View attachment 3173802View attachment 3173805View attachment 3173804View attachment 3173803

I'm glad everyone is okay.

Ponders good morning one and all!

Haven't been on my lily pad for a while related to the humidity.

Will be glad when the humidity is down.

79 and sunny with 90 % humidity.

Have a great day!

NJ warm and humid from my lily pad. Have a great day.

Not bad, thanks. The lid is a little puffy and kind of a lavender color. I was thinking I should go buy some matching eye shadow for the other eye.

I love your sense of humor about this event. Actually the idea of the camouflage via eyeliner color the balance the other eye is a total Winner of an idea in my book. What fun that sounds like!

Did you actually follow through?

Wowsers. That’s Florida and H-town (and Galveston especially) humidity levels! Where y’all at with such *fun*?

/facepalm I just looked at your profile. DUH! Y’all are in Florida after all. I was stationed in that state for a few years.

They sure do! It just seemed a bit over dramatic for it to carry on so, for such a little thing.

Bobbi When it happens to us can seem much worse just then don't be so hard on yourself.

I have been hearing about it ever since. We all went for a walk yesterday and my son offered to assist me across the street. My grand niece made sure to point out where the curb was, and all the raised cracks in the sidewalk. BIL made sure I saw every stick and rock in the way… I’ve gotta be able to laugh about it.

Didn’t get the eyeshadow - it makes my eyelids itchy.
