Is it time for some humor this morning? Well let me tell you about a trip I took to London, England. In London theres this square called a big name which I cant say much less spell, anyway I should have known that I would have something to happen to me, because Im so lucky to have bad luck. My first indication was getting caught in a closing gate. Getting off the train in London one has to go thru this gate that auto opens and auto closes, well it did open and it did try to close but something stopped it, it was me and my suitcase. I was pulling it thru when it closed on the handle of my case, of course it wouldnt open cause technically it wasnt closed, so there I stood, my body on one side, my suitcase on the other. Help had to come and rescue me, the people behind me were getting ansy, they had to be somewhere else. Needless to say, I made it and my suitcase made it thru. So we go to this big square with these gigantic lions on this really tall posts, they were guarding the square and it is said, that to get up there and have you to touch it was really good luck. Well after the morning, I thought its about time for me to have some good luck, Ill try to get up there. Mind you it was about 12 feet in the air on top of that big post and the Lion itself was about 7 ft tall or more. My nephew Jordan was with me and he said, no problem Aunt Joyce, Ill get up there and pull you up. I should have known at the word pull, I would have trouble, but okay. Go ahead. He gets up there with no problem the platform was only about 7 ft tall also and hes over six, so he scrambles up there, mind you no steps to make it easy on anyone and Im almost sixty at that time, but anyhow he gets up there, lays flat on his stomach and says, give me your hands. Well my hands wouldnt quite reach so some girls standing down there with me, wanted their picture on the Lion with Jordan, so they help boosted me up to where Jordan grabbed my hands and up he pulls me leaving behind a trail of knee skin on the cement platform. Finally made it up there beside Jordan, but now to get up on the post where the Lion sit, Jordan made it look easy, jumped up there and I took his picture, then I tried to get up there, nope it wasnt happening, I could only make it to the Lions tail and had to stand there patting his rump in order to get my picture made. Now the hard part, getting down. Did I tell you all, Im afraid of heights? Well I am, so when I made it down to the platform I was still 7 ft up , how to get down. I couldnt jump, I would have broke every bone in my body, so Jordan jumps down and says, Aunt Joyce get on your stomach and put your legs down and then jump and Ill try to catch you. Well I may be silly but not that silly, are you crazy I cant do that, youll miss me or Ill fall. Well no other solution presented itself so I get on my stomach try to inch down and he along with the girls down below try to catch me, needless to say, I did have good luck and it was the fact that I didnt get killed trying to get down. My blood and skin is probably still there so a little piece of me is still in London. So if anything sounds too good or you need good luck, dont try anything dangerous. Have a great laugh at my expense and a great day, Love to all. I have pictures to prove me up there if I find them I will post them later.
