Oh Yea!! Cowboys were certainly heroes. No doubt about it.
Did all the little boys in your neighborhood have cowboy guns and holsters? |

It is a good thing I knew the creaking was being caused by harmless fantasy creatures ... LOL
They might have, Foxy ... I was too busy running and climbing trees to bother with toy guns LOL

I did plenty of running and climbing trees, too, Rick. And exploring. I loved to explore.
Now, about climbing those trees. I gotta tell ya, my mom didn't LIKE it. She told me what she'd do if she caught me climbing trees. What thatg meant was, I had to stay out of her sight. When I fell out of that tree, I was all alone. It was a peach tree and I was going for a prize peach. When I hit the the ground, it was on my right arm and shoulder. OMG!! It really hurt and I thought I had broken my arm. I could NOT move it at all. It was just pulled in next to my body and when I tried to pull it away, it just jerked right back in place. I was sure it was broken....and I had to go home and tell mom. I sat there and cried for awhile. It slowly got to where I could move it and I no longer thought it was broken. I know now it must have been a nerve involved. I didn't climb any trees for a few days until the soreness worked out of my shoulder....and it was years before I told anyone about it. Mom never knew.

Wow you did well to keep that injury from your mom, Foxy! My mom was a worrier too so I understand ... exploring was fun in woods behind the open field  |

someone i know had alot of trees around her place, we climbed them for awhile, but......\
oh did you know that it's against the law to climb trees in toronto.....i didn't know that....go figure....a past time of alot of kids, and they ban it...ok, i know in public, but on your own property...
we didn't have trees at the cottage that we could climb, so that's why...but it sure was fun..
lol...on your house shrinking.....

That would be a scary thought, Foxy!
Against the law to climb trees on your own property? That is a law I would disobey, Susan ... they are out of control.

I loved to climb trees and my mom never stopped me. I think she must have climbed trees when she was young too. There was one tree in the backyard that I was constantly climbing. Susan, that must be a new law. It was never so when I was growing up, and there even was a famous tree in High Park that was known as the climbing tree on which kids climbed on for years. It was only about 10 years or so ago, that they forbade climbing on this tree, as the tree became so old it became dangerous to climb on it. Shortly thereafter they cut the tree down. |
