River Road day care
Polaris launch, thinking, at 4, the submarine was underwater in the river. The Indian River, right in front of the old wooden house.
Teacher stomping feet to scare away a large rattlesnake that had slithered into the sandy back yard.
Filled with spurs.
Neighborly rescue … ran out into our new backyard and felt the spurs. Older kid, next door, came over and carried me out on his back.
Manatee (squishy) while skiing behind Mike Smyth’s little Boston Whaler.
Smyth and Alan Cook laughed when a manatee rose up beneath my feet as tread water, waiting for them to turn around and bring me the rope.
