| A selfie I took this morning on my back deck with my new tripod. |
Finally! After all these years I finally got a tripod that accommodates my iPhone.
For years I've been asking Bill to take photos of me. Then when he lost his vision to macular degeneration I had to figure out another way to take pictures of me. When I was with Pat I would ask him, which he would often accommodate me, but I know it wasn't his thing. It wasn't really Bill's thing either. Both of these men, lovely men who I loved and love dearly, weren't as interested in taking photos as I was and still am.
The rare time I would attempt to take a selfie or a video (I took some of me and Bill a few months before he died), I would prop my iPhone up on the kitchen counter or some other surface. I have several older tripods but they don't accommodate iPhones. They have that screw in the bottom for SLR cameras. I have an SLR camera but haven't used it in years. Paid over a thousand dollars for it too! Does anyone use SLR cameras anymore? Even the ones that take videos, which mine does?
So folks, expect a lot more current pictures of me and even videos. I'm sure some of you are very tired of seeing my old photos posted over and over again to this blog. Now you'll get to see me in all my rapidly deteriorating physical state, especially my posture problem (called humpback) where I can no longer stand up straight. My condition is called "age-related hyperkyphosis or a "dowagers hump" which is usually caused by a combination of bone leaking, muscle loss, spinal wear and tear and every day postural habits. I'm in good company. Below is 96 year old Clint Eastwood.
That's it for today folks.

Hey there old Friend!
Fred is down in Rehoboth, with the younger kids, and that got me thinking of you.
Just was reading some of your latest posts and, from an outsider’s perspective, you seem so much more relaxed. I definitely hope so. Being calm is good for your health as you know.
I miss our Condo down in rehoboth and will forever be upset with Fred for convincing me to sell it. Even if we only went down a few times a year, it was a good money maker using it as an Air B and B. Oh well!
Maybe once the last kid is gone, I’ll sell this giant of a house and, with the profits, rent a nice apartment down there overlooking the ocean.
Hard to imagine your place down there without Bill. Just the few times I met him, he’s was super sweet. Great guy!
I feel your pain with always the one taking the photos and you never in them. Hilarious! If I’m ever in a photo, it’s either by mistake or I’m posing begging for someone to take it. Again, oh well!
I hope to visit your blog more often.
Your old Friend, m.
Ron, Great photograph of you. Also, those hydrangeas behind you in the photograph tell me that you have the best green thumb I've seen in a long time
Did you? Well done! Good for you I say! 💪🏻
