Nicely done!
I can see how crutches can be demons. When I had to, after foot surgery, I opted for a cane. Luckily, I healed fast.

I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga going to Montana

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I'm sorry I knew that but blanked it out with all the chaos. Good luck with the Surgery!

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

P6. Interesting discovery in your closet or cupboard (go look and find something.

It’s so strange this prompt should have come up as today as I really did find something in the cupboard I’d completely forgotten about.
It was a letter, typed, but signed by George Bernard Shaw the Irish poet and playwright.
He was a man of strong views on many things. He was an atheist and as such was a regular correspondent of my grandfather. They were very much alike and agreed on many subjects, such as religion and politics. They were both members of the anti-smoking society. George Bernard Shaw wrote the letter I have in my possession in 1940, there are several more but my brother in England has them.
GBS was an outspoken man, to the point of rudeness. Here are three of his quotes: Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.” “I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”

Anyway, I was watching a programme called, ‘Antique Roadshow,’ recently and was intrigued to discover how much money people are willing to pay for the signature of famous people. On the episode I saw the signature of Tolkien fetched six thousand dollars! So after finding my George Bernard Shaw letter I wondered if there was any monetary value. Apparently it’s worth quite a bit of money to a collector.

I was chatting to my 26 year old grandson, who is a bit of a philosopher, about GBS’s opinion on religion. He was really interested and we had a good discussion on what might happen to us after we die. He really perked up when I told him the letter had a bit of $value besides the interesting content. So I told him he could have it because he’s the only family member who is a deep thinker. It made his day, I think.
