(Don’t ask. It was ugly. The original is in blog heaven and I
can’t call it back. Clearly, I have a lot to learn). I did learn an important lesson tonight. Make sure that you have a backup copy somewhere. I had my handwritten copy however, I had made changes in the wording as I typed it. I now have a copy.
Here is more stuff from my life that you probably don’t
know.
1. I used to pretend I was riding a horse when I rode my
blue Schwinn two wheeler. When the street was repaved, I would ride my bike all
the way to Nepessing Street, gliding along. It felt like I was flying.
2. The first time I ever saw a hummingbird was in a cemetery.
3. One time the leaves that had been raked into the street
from our yard. The city would come along with a truck that would suck them up
and carry them away. My sister and I were home alone. Someone drove by and dropped a cigarette out
of their window and set the leaves on fire.
We ran outside and started beating at the leaves with a rake. Luckily the leaves were damp and smoked more than
a full-out fire.
4. I have a phobia about memorizing. (More about this later).
