HELLO, MY FRIENDS REED HERE SPEAKING. ONE EVENING WE REACHED THE TOP OF THE DIRT ROAD IN THE DARK AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LIGHTS CAME UPON A BEAUTIFUL BUCK (DEER) MAGNIFICENT!!! I HAD TO TURN MY LIGHTS OFF FOR A MOMENT TO MAKE THE BUCK LEAVE.
We travelled towards the house. Up on the hill was the neighbours chicken coop.
REED HERE AGAIN. 40 YEARS LATER I TRAVELLED UP THE ROAD TO MY CHILDRENS’ CHILDHOOD HOME AFTER NOT SEEING IT FOR MANY YEARS AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT THE CHICKEN COOP WAS STILL THERE.
I always held my breath and closed my eyes when we turned down our driveway. It was steep and not wide. No barriers at all. Below our driveway was fruit trees, a chicken coop and grasshoppers. It still amazes me to this day how we never got stuck anywhere going down to the house. The view of the lake was still breathtaking as I began to look forward to visiting Aunt Winnie and Uncle Walt again for the next swim with always more surprises.
