stuck on the roof

Don't ever think this can't happen to you.   Yesterday after all the wind and rain we got,  Harry decided I should go up and clean the gutters.  His knees are buggered so he couldn't do the ladder thing.   Well I cleaned down the one long side off of the ladder but when I came to the front there was no place to lean the ladder.   I thought I will just climb on the roof and do the front.   Well I got up OK and had the gutters cleaned in a jiffy.  Upon returning to the ladder I realized I had no idea how to climb back on it.  I tested the gutter a bit to see if it would hold my weight but decided not to chance it.  I sat for a while and called for Harry.  He was too busy playing on the puter and didn't hear me.  I eventually bellied my way to the edge and swung my feet over onto the ladder.   It turns out you are supposed to put the ladder up higher so you have something to grab with your hands.   After I was down the neighbor came over and said she thought I was stuck up there but by the time she grabbed her boots and coats I was down.   We all had a great laugh about it.....
