Warning...not a good activity for the elderly!

I am always posting things late, so this happened last month but I ran across the pictures and had to post it as a warning. Last month we planned to take our beehive class ice blocking. Nothing wrong with that, I did it for young women's when I was a kid. Well, one of the Laurel advisers was surprised that we were doing that and made the comment, "isn't that against the law?" Apparently in California there is a law against ice blocking. I thought that was the silliest thing I had ever heard, government should really stay out of things. So, we went and had a great time except for this........


Yes, that is my thigh!! I fell off the ice block and rolled over the top of it. I knew instantly it would leave a bruise, but never imagined it would be that big. This picture was taken after a week or so of healing. So, now I know why they have laws against it, but maybe the law she set an age limit on the activity... no ice blocking if pregnant or over the age of 30! Man I am getting old and my body is sure not letting me forget that. Imagine if that were my head, I may not have lived to WARN you all of the dangers of ice blocking!
