That's an insult to 11 year olds everywhere.
She wore scarlet begonias, tucked into her curls. I knew right away, she was not like other girls.

LOL, good one Computer Hater.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I’m 78 and started trapping rats in ditches & creek within a 2 mile radius of home in 1954. If it was really cold and blowing ma would stop fixing supper and drive the old Oldsmobile over and give me a ride home. An old farmer that lived just about 2 miles cross country from our house used to tell how he’d be sitting at the kitchen table waiting for supper and watch me walking across his pasture and tell his wife “ there’s that Fales boy checking his traps again!” And would laugh!
A good friend of my dad’s was a river,rat trapper . He told me he would skin my 1st rat but the rest was up to me and that was how it was because my dad was not a trapper. The friend also gave me a sketch of how to cut out my stretchers also. I stood in line every Saturday morning at Sears & Roebuck to ship my rat pelts to NYC.
