Granny and Granddad have decided to downsize and they have just discovered the perfect house.
"Isn't it lovely dear?" Granny says "I just love the garden. It looks nice, but won't need much maintenance."
With the furniture in place, they get settled in and Granny puts on the tea.
While the kettle boils Granny brings out the final touch for their cozy new home.
"What's that dear?"
"Yowwww ... oh, no!!"
CRASH! KABOOMB!!
"Oh no! Are you all right. Oh my dear, you could have damaged our new home, or my precious sampler!"
"My, but the sampler does look lovely dear. Thank you for helping me hang it. How is your tea?"
"It could use a shot of gin." Granddad mumbles.
"What's that, dear? Are you comfortable?"
"Yes, my Sugarplum. I am very comfortable now." answers Granddad.
He is happy that he can now see the telly and that his sore leg will prevent him from doing any more chores.
Come visit again sometime.
Hugs,
Susan
I think Sugarplum needs to come train a few men for me!

hahahah! oops, I really shouldn't be laughing so hard at poor grandpa. Your distorted pic is hilarious, Susan! This old house is so quaint and suits the old handsome couple really well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling post! I love the photos of grandpa falling off the ladder and then sitting in the chair all bandaged up! This is great!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your little story posts, Susan. Poor Grandpa!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I enjoy writing them!

A perfect house for granny and granddad! And she has trained him well!
ReplyDeleteWell, she had nothing much to do after the kids moved out, so she trained him. After he retired she had to have him well trained, or he would have driven her crazy hanging around the house all day. LOL

Ha ha! How did you do that wonderful curving fall??? Way cool! C
ReplyDeleteI put a twirl in the picture in Photoshop. I wanted him to look look he had vertigo. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical! :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny, poor grandpa! Great photoshop effect on the falling picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I had so much fin doing it.

Great setting, great story, great photos! I think Grandpa has the situation well in hand - Grandma may think she's trained him, but he clearly knows a few tricks of his own ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe has learned to survive and get what he wants, just as Granny has. After my father-in-law retired he referred to my mother-in-law as 'She who must be obeyed.' I always thought this was hilarious as they clearly adored each other, but I could see how he was underfoot once he was home all day, interfering with her well-established routine.
