Quips from Kay

I may have told you that I sold real estate in New Orleans but perhaps didn't tell you this short story.  The  first house I showed was a small wooden structure and day was very New Orleans hot. Meaning there was lots of humidity along with the heat. As I got out of my car in the front of the house, I noticed what I thought was smoke coming off the roof so I called the fire department.  They got there quickly, of course, and started laughing which I thought was rather strange. The firemen told me they were laughing because it was just steam coming off the roof caused by the heat of the day and the moisture on the asphalt roofing.  Needless to say I was embarrassed but "what do I know, I'm from Beeville"

 Having decided to join a health spa, I learned that I would have access to a swimming pool so I started looking for my swimsuit. Couldn't find it anywhere so I went shopping. I discovered that swimsuits are now made for those who have Miss America bodies or old half dead grannie figures. Being sort of in between I tried on several that were so ridiculous that I had to laugh. The experience of trying them on in front of a three-way mirror was the worst of all.  I feel pretty good about myself most of the time. Seeing as how I am 90 years old I don't expect miracles in the way of physicality. On the other hand seeing myself in a three-way mirror was a bit more than I could take. I saw bits of myself I had forgotten about and it is just as well that I had. I stood there alternately crying and laughing and then remembered there isn't much I can do about it, so I gave up on the swimsuit idea. Anyway, for the price they are now asking I could have bought a ticket to New Orleans ...
