These are a couple of short stories, from experiences I remember when I was little, sorry, I am not much of a writer, but here they are:
And the next, is one from when I fell off a big tree,
insert quote hereMy first horse experience
There is so much, to tell in a story about me, and then some may say "boy this guy really is a self centered egoist",...But since my 3 children never got the chance to know me, this gives them a way to know about me,..and I think it is kind of a unusual story, so it may be interesting to others. Ok, well I was born in Mosouri, then we moved to Albuqurque,N.M about when I was just maybe 1 or 2, don't remember that much. My first real memories start in Bernalillio,N.M. close to Albuquerque, at perhaps 3-4 years old. And not to many memories. Then one that is most clear is when I got kicked by a "big" work horse.
Ok, as you can see, I tried climbing up his tail, as I was to small, to get on. This is really about the first thing I clearly remember, in my life, the horse belonged to the neigbors, and it did not discourage me any, I still love horses to this day, and have a couple of stories about different horses I have had, and worked with, these will be told in theyre turn.

And the next, is one from when I fell off a big tree,
insert quote hereAfter the horse incident, my next clear memory is when I fell ot of THE TREE
It was a very high tree, I had it in my head that I needed to climb higher then any of the other kids, and I did, I went all the way to the top,..But not for very long, I no sooner got to the top, and 2 things happened very fast.
First the thin branch that was supporting my foot broke,I heard the "Snap!" and I grabbed the even thinner, top part of the tree, but it could not support my weight, and started bending over, but I hung on, "for dear life",...this was a good 50 feet high, maybe more, it was a old Willow tree,..very high, very big at the bottom, lots of branches,..we made, forts and tree houses, with the branches too.
Any way as the top of the tree bent more and more, I still had hope, it might not break, and as I was hanging on,but going down, I noticed just a little more and my feet would reach a bigger branch, and I had a chance,,..but it was at that moment I heard the 2nd "SNAP!!!" and I was falling, my feet did hit the branch below me, but it had the effect of "tripping" me,...as my feet didn't hit quite right, so now I was falling head first,...and at that moment, I knew I was going to die, no doupt in my mind,.....it was still a long way down, and I had no hope,..I really knew it was "over for me"....About this time, there was a big BOOM!, inside my head,...a flash of light, like a explosion,...So it was all over...then I heard angels singing, don't really remember much, but everything was pretty nice, in fact REALY NICE !,.
The next thing I rembember, is my eyes opened, I was laughing, ..but all around me was screaming and panic, my mother was their, my brother was crying, some of the neighbors too, had come, my mother was screaming for some one to call a ambulance,... I was qute happy to realize I was alive, and actually nothing hurt,...no broken bones or anything,..just kind of a sadness, too, because for a little while, everything had seemed to nice,.
