I was a climber-—trees, top of corral fence, a thingy my dad used to pull motors out of cars. I fell off that motor thingy and my mom and aunt thought it had killed me but only knocked the breath out of me. That big black walnut tree would be swaying when we climbed it. Love black walnuts but they were messy. My dad built a thing he and others called a Spinning Jenny. It was a long piece of wood, “nailed” to a tree stump and it would go a full circle. As kids we loved that thing but we would be very dizzy afterwards. Memories.
