Took the granddaughters to the park today. There is a walking trail there which is where I took most of the pictures in this set. Others were taken in my yard and around the country neighborhood. Hope you enjoy them. :)
My granddaughter thought this drainage pipe was a skunk from where we were standing. I zoomed in on it to find out, lol.

  

Brenda

I didn't have many friends, but one of my very best friends was Brenda. We became best friends after my step dad sold the swap shop/coffee shop/auction barn. We moved into town to a house that my step dad owned and had been renting out. Brenda lived right across the street. Although we were in the same grade in school and knew each other we hadn't been friends, that changed when I moved to town. One summer Brenda was allowed to go camping and fishing with us. We went to Cassville, Wisconsin for 3 weeks. My step brother and his family and my brother also went along. Here is a picture of Brenda, my step brother's 2 boys, and me.

 

 

 

Brenda and I slept in sleeping bags on top of lounge chairs inside of a screened in patio tent. We had a lot of fun and I wasn't bored at all. Here is another picture that was taken on that trip. It is a picture of me holding up a catfish that my step brother's son, Dean had caught.

 

 

In case you are wondering, yes those are the flat bottom boats that we used to go fishing in...little things aren't they...especially on the Mississippi River!!

 

 

Brenda and I did everything together until something happened and all of a sudden we didn't talk to each other. Brenda got mad at me for something that some other girl had told her that wasn't even true. This was very hard on me. Living across the street from her even made it harder. I don't know how I made it thru this time of my life. Then just as sudden as it started it was over. Brenda apoligized to me and we once again became best friends. We stayed friends even after I had to move when my mom and step dad got a divorce. However, our friendship wasn't as close as it had been from then on. Strange how things like that work....
