From the archives...


 Calves are just so adorable!  Been ages and ages since I have actually got up close and personal with one.  But I would sure like the opportunity.

It rained last night...and really hard part of the time.  Then today Roger had an appt to have blood drawn to do kidnery function test.  I was hoping the rain would be over, and it was except was misting when we had to leave but by the time we got headed home, not even that.

Let me tell you about this visit...not so much the visit but the parking lot part of it.  So we have a handicapped parking permit, but the handicapped parking spots do not have the extra wide space between spots.  So no getting the wheel chair through and opening the car door wide open.  There is one spot if you happened to get it it would work.  But I have never been so luck. Which is okay....I can walk.  I never use it just for myself.  

So I get a bit far away from the doors and park where there is an open space beside me and since there are parking spaces close to the doors, I just pray no one parks next to me.  There is no way that Roger can walk from the back of the car up to the door.

But that is beside the point.  The place I parked, the pavement comes right up to where the spaces begin, and then it is different. The spaces are pavers.  So, I get the wheel chair out and get it up to Roger, he gets in, I back him away till I can shut and lock the doors...turn him around and it is a slight incline...and am pushing him and hit the lip where the pavers meet the asphalt...it really jarred him.  I did not dream the edge had that much of a difference that the wheel would not go over it easily.  Even if they are the smaller front wheels.

Not only that, I stepped on the back to lift the front up and proceeded forward and it does take effort to push...and I proceeded to trip over that lip myself!  If I had not been pushing him and have hold of the wheel chair, I would have fell so hard.  I don't even like to think about it.  I did get tickled...and went on.

Of course there was a truck waiting for us to get by...so no way did I escape being seen....

For your viewing pleasure I leave you with this one.  It is funny, I had the past 2 or 3 videos all pop up within a couple days and now have not seen one worth posting for several days.
