I broke my arm 4 times (R 3x, L 1x) in 2nd grade alone... was a great year of my life.

I had my share of cuts, scrapes and bruises, but thankfully no broken bones!..............

We had a severe thunderstorm once time and it blew down huge trees all over our small town.

One huge old oak tree straddled a creek east of town.

It didn’t take long for the neighborhood kids to find it and start climbing all over it, including me at about 11 years old.

I remember climbing on it, the limbs all going vertical instead of horizontal, and at some point I slipped and fell.

I don’t remember the falling part but I do remember the waking up part!

I was laying flat of my back looking up through the tree limbs at all my friends staring down at me with their eyes mouths wide open in surprise and disbelief.

Luckily I missed hitting any part of the tree and landed in a muddy section of the creek and that was enough to cushion my fall and save me from any injury, thank the Lord!.
