Mary in France, did you say 6ft 7in...? How does he even fit in
a public bus...? Or in fact, an automobile...?
We have a pal who has trouble getting thru our front door, and he
is only 6ft 3in -- but he's possibly 350 or 400 lbs, don't know.
Plenty of energy, just enormous. The greatest thing to watch is
this man volunteering to change a light bulb outside on my front
porch -- he simply reaches up and voila! it's done.
His sons tower over him....
I'm jealous. I've lost 3 inches in height, and now my daughter
steers me towards the petite racks. Having been known as
Powerful Katrinka all my life, I feel the sting. >>
Hi Penny, cars were/are always a problem. We used to have to take the runner
off the driving seats. Some makes were better than others as they had
adjustable steering wheels. Graham drives a volvo and seems to manange.
It certainly is an advantage to have a tall man around the house, light bulb
changing was a doddle plus lots of other things like putting up the Christmas
tree.
I too have shrunk largely due to a bone graft in my spine plus I no longer
have a tall husband to walk beside! In the good old days of stiletto hels I
wore the 6" variety....ah, one's lost youth.
