Random Facts About You ....number 59

My schoolfriends all laughed at me,when aged 13,I said my ambition was to discover the secret to invisibility.

....if only they could see me now,eh?.....

 

Same thing here.

 

Great day. Did a nice, little 5k run by myself this morning. Went out for lunch and then went kayaking with my wife and daughter all afternoon and evening. Then we had supper and my daughter and I just got done throwing the football around because it's too dark now. I think I'm going to hit the river with some of my band mates tomorrow so that should be fun.

omg Ori...


that is unbelievably sad


I'm also so very sorry you're having to go through all these sad sad deaths lately. Of course most deaths are sad, but you've been experiencing some stuff.


I mighty glad you're here.

 

shes a good friend.. I feel bad for her, she just lost her husband last year.

 

dang

remember bad luck sled rock?

no offence

I've felt like that but never gone through anything close to that ladies sorrows

Probably talking to you for even a short while helped her.

 

happened friday, she was at work tonight.. dead cant pay the bills..

 

That is horrifying.

 

Sorry to hear your news Orison.

 

It's dammed hot out there today...

 

Here, it's 91F with heat index of 94F.

Time for some indoor work.

 

yeah Ive to time the power pole down the river, it shades the sun for about a 1/2hour.. that way I can fish a little longer ..

 

Just saw a wild Mink in the side yard... Didn't know I had those here.

 

Maybe somebody's ferret escaped.

 

power pole shading the sun, after a while you can move back with the shade but will be further from your fishing pole.. I fish smart..

 

Too big for a Ferret and definitely Mink color... He was also hunting a baby Rabbit, I don't think Ferrets do that. Mink do live in the wild here, it's just the first time I've seen one on my property. They are usually way out in the wilds....



Wait!


I live way out in the wilds.

 

Wasn't a martin?

 

This post ended up being a little long but I have a point at the end.

Went boating again today. I took a good friend out who had never been in a kayak.....seriously. He had the greatest time! Even just on the drive to the river he was saying he couldn't believe how beautiful it was. (I found that odd since he has lived his whole life only about 25 miles away but he kind of just stays in town mostly). He sounded jealous when I told him that I'd been going there since I was a kid....in fact....I used to go there 4 or 5 days a week when I was in high school.

So that got me thinking out on the water......I live in a town that didn't exist when my family (and about 10 or 11 other families) moved here and built a city over 150 years ago. I know every single gravel road, landmark and back woods short cut around here like it's my own back yard. There is a city park named after my family. I've owned this house for almost my entire adult life (bought it when I was 22) and I feel deeply connected to it. (I also happened to find my house today on a hand-drawn map of our town from 1868)

So all of that is great but here's my point. It almost never happened. I was, for all intents and purposes, kidnapped from my father and his family at a young age, moved many times (when I moved back here in 9th grade...it was my 13th time transferring schools since 1st grade), told over and over that my dad and family must not care to contact me. etc. etc. But....they didn't count on me remembering and knowing that wasn't true. After all of that, somehow I made it back home. It just blows my mind to sit on my deck, think of all that happened and think "I made it back here."


Edit.....I meant 1868....not 1968.

 

That's the only way to do it! You are smart!

Okay, if it dies a natural death or you get really hungry, make me a collar for my coat and leave it in my guest room.

That is awesome! I love family history and there is a town in N. Ga. that my family founded. It's named after them too.
