Photos & Memories

Summer Fun!

I can't remember whose big idea this was or who was among the group of idiots that just had to have this dangerous adventure. Sounds like something my brother John thought up, he would scrape thru and everyone else would pay the price! We would swim across the lake just up from the dam. Get up, somehow, to a bunker type doorway and walk down dark stairs with a wall on one side and sheer drop on the other. Masses of granddaddy long legs bouncing over our heads.

From each other we learned "sharing", the process of give and take that makes human relationships work. I still remember when it dawned on me that of all the family I have, my closest kin is my sister. We have no other siblings.
