One More Thing

When I was 14 I was driving my grandparents new 1960 pontiac down the road (no license of course). My oldest brother was with me- well I hit some ice, spun out, and landed in some field, I blamed it on my brother of course and nobody knew that I did it.!

OK - I got tagged.

CherkyB musta run out of people to tag, as I am sure I was on the bottom of his list. So I will try to come up with 5 things about me that are secrets - hey I don't have any secrets- everybody already knows all about me because I am selfish and love to talk about myself.

1. When I was a kid (about 100 years ago), I taught myself how to play the accordion by taking my father's accordion and playing it when he wasn't home. I was actually quite musical and could play the piano, violin, viola, trumpet, harmonica and accordion. I was in the school orchestra and did play first violin. Can't do any of the above now.

2. When I was a teen, I was a very good ice skater and roller skater. I actually had one of those little felt skating skirts and would go the the Hyde Park skating rink several times a week in the winter. In the summer I would go to the pool. Can't do any of the above now.

3. When I was a teen, I worked on a chicken farm and processed 10,000 eggs a day- I would collect them, wash them, candle them, grade and pack them. We would have dead chicken wars- you haven't lived until you were hit with a dead black rotted gangerine chicken. I used to go home and jump right in the river off the dock - clothes and all. Those were the days when I knew how to swim. We used to take inner tubes and hitch hike about 5 miles up river and then get on the tubes and float home. Can't do any of the above now.

4. I lost my virginity to a married man. He is now deceased. Along with two husbands and all my boyfriends. My kids call me the black widow. Can't do any of the above now.

5. I used to be skinny and rode my bike 10 miles a day. I walked all around Grand Island with some friends and the Army guys that were stationed at the Nike base on the island. Can't do any of the above now.

So there you have it!
