I flipped the light switch to the walk in closet and it came on and poof was gone. Fretting and Fussing I said Now what do I do? I can't reach that bulb, I am to short by a foot or two!
I can't climb a ladder, I am not that bold,
I am really, really way to OLD.
I said to Bob, I can't stand on the top step of the ladder, I will fall over..
I dragged it out and and around Beau Rover.
The closet was dark, I could not see,
I grabbed the lantern, and laughed with glee.
The shelving was just right, I could hold on to that,
Which would steady me well and keep me from falling flat.
I descended safely, and flipped the switch,
and shouted you did it, you crazy old witch.
Today I changed a light bulb!!

Christmas Past and Santa's you may have missed
My Daddy goes by Santa Bob or Daddy and I met another Santa on the beach a few years ago
Can you see my daddy out in the water?
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a safe way to change the light bulb.
Love your Santa Bob, the beach view and Beau!
I wish I was there! Take care, have a wonderful day!
We take our victories as we find them!
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteYay, for finding the way! Much enjoying your visits to Christmas past... YAM xx
I love your poetry in the harrowing situation of changing a lightbulb that was too high and in the dark closet. Hurray! YOU DID IT!! So proud of you!! Amazing what seems like a simple task becomes a monumental challenge at our age! Things we used to be able to do with no problem are now like climing Mount Everest! But you did it!! Smart girl!!! And I LOVE the Santa Bob pictures and the others on the beach...so happy to have those fun memories. Happy to see your smiling face here today. We miss you when you aren't here. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI loved how you turned the adventure into a poem for us. Fun to read and I'm glad that you got it changed. I told you, you are Wonder Woman!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Sandra!!! Love your Christmas pasts and edits today!
ReplyDeleteI like your poetry! Hooray for you for getting that bulb changed.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your Christmas past photos.
How clever you are! Even cleaning our ceiling fan blades takes on a level of trepidation that didn't used to be here.
ReplyDeleteThese images of Christmases Past are so cute! I hope they brought a smile to your face, like they just brought to mine.
Where there's a will there's a way!
ReplyDeleteThankful that you had no accidents while getting this light bulb changed. You did good and I know this has to make you feel good, that you accomplished something that was really a big task. Love the photos. This is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem - you are so creative. Congrats on changing a light bulb. I worry about things like that myself.
ReplyDeleteLove Santa Bob!
How many Mad Snappers does it take to change a lightbulb? Just One!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! Even holding onto a shelf sounds frightening to me! I fell the other night just trying to put my underpants on! Did not get hurt.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely are wonder woman and find a way to solve the problem.
ReplyDeleteFantastic poem too.
Changing light bulbs can be daunting as well as the furnace/air conditioner filter which is in our ceiling. I'm too short and hate heights and since Dave has developed a hunch back looking up over his head makes him dizzy and unbalanced. Between the 2 of us we manage to get it done, but I think I am going to have to recruit our son when he is here.
Glad to see you back and I love the picture of you, Santa Bob and surfing Beau.

Glad you were able to get the light changed and made a fun poem to memorialize the feat.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I haven't changed one in years, but that's because there's nothing to hang on to. Andy now says it's also no longer safe for him to change them either. In our case the management changed the latest to go out with no fee. Hurray, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteGreat job oh inventive one! :))) Loved the pictures you created.
ReplyDeletewhat a great trip to the ocean! To see you all out there, just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your win. Victories like that are so sweet and rewarding.
ReplyDeleteClimbing ladders can be very dangerous for us at our age. Well done you on how you accomplished it so safely!
ReplyDeleteMerry CHRISTmas!
Love.
Hooray for a new bulb! You did an awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that worked out for you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteBeau, I do see your daddy in the water.
