I used to play in this creek as a kid and remember when I stepped on a big ol' piece of glass in my bare feet. Not only did I get hurt, I got in trouble too for playing barefoot in the creek. They told me I would hurt myself if I did that, but did I listen?? Noooooooo.....I had to go and do it anyway. Same thing happened when I stepped on an Asp...man, that wasn't good either.

Similar story about a go-cart and my two front teeth....sheesh....my parents were always right! Wished I'd listened more when I was growing up. I think I got hurt more than my sisters with stuff like this. I liked getting dirty and exploring with my friends. Always liked to crawl around in places and see what was beyond, but sometimes, it got me into trouble. A tomboy I've always been, a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal. I have to admit that I still do explore and do stupid stuff today and manage to injure myself. But, gotta admit it was fun when I did it! I am a bit more careful these days, well, at least I try.

Anywho, back to the creek....it looked beautiful when I walked down the street from where my folks' live before lunch. Wanted to catch some snow before it was all melted. I loved having a Christmas with snow. Rarity around these parts!
