Sorry and a Fish Story
OK, sorry that I haven’t been on for awhile. I honestly did not realize it had been so long. My clients and my husband have been fussing! Imagine that! I have always said that I have too much of my space out here to have any of “myspace” in the computer. I tend to write my blogs in my head on the way home from work, but I just don’t seem to have a port to automatically download them into the computer. Maybe I should have been a Borg.
Something happened to one of my customers that really was not funny, but to hear her tell it, well, we were laughing so hard, I had to put down my Marcel curling iron.
She and her boyfriend had gone fishing at the lake. They both love to fish. He was sitting up on a wall fishing, and she was standing on a big rock close to the edge. Every once in a while, she would leave the rock to get more bait. They had been there most of the day. Well, apparently, she went for bait, and stepped back onto the rock, which chose that precise moment to move. It pitched her forward, upside down, into the lake! Her boyfriend looked over and didn’t see her, so he jumped off the wall and came running. She was nowhere to be seen. He ran out into the water, and all he could see of her was the heel of one shoe sticking up under the water. He dove in and grabbed the heel and drug her out. She said the water was cold, and it was about 25 feet deep. She had thought that she would go to the bottom and push her way back up, but she couldn’t find the bottom! She was scared! She just kept going down and down!
I can hear her voice telling the story. She made it sound so funny!! I just had to ask her if she recovered her fishing pole. She said yes she did, but she lost her brand new glasses. She was freezing. They both had to drive home wet. He was so upset that he wouldn’t even talk about it to her daughter, but the worst thing, she said, was that just the night before, she had gotten her hair done!
