Then when you started working right away, I wondered "WHY?" lol<br /><br />I'm 58 and have always been relatively strong, but I've begun to notice, too, that starting a project makes me feel that I haven't lost it, but midway, I'm trying desperately to avoid the embarrassment of slowing down (if others are watching or with me).<br /><br />I can relate to your very funny story; however, I know when to take a bathroom break. <br /><br />The project looks great!<br /><br />ps. Are Americans the only ones who refer to gardens as our "yards?" :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053340598207983157.post-50538532998877503372016-06-08T08:36:45.283-07:002016-06-08T08:36:45.283-07:00Marcia - I suspect your hubs is better equipped to...Marcia - I suspect your hubs is better equipped to lug heavy loads (and will have no need to wear incontinence pads!)Bryan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193232823492134184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053340598207983157.post-91512169149533629432016-06-02T21:40:18.833-07:002016-06-02T21:40:18.833-07:00I need to let my hubs read this hilarious post----...I need to let my hubs read this hilarious post----he works in landscaping and is always exhausted after hauling rocks and trees around all day. menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053340598207983157.post-90381810185336363952016-05-31T06:37:33.186-07:002016-05-31T06:37:33.186-07:00Yes, maybe it's a male pride thing.
