Feeling the nostalgia of youth and some of the happiest moments of my life I present to you my followers the remaining chapters of Once upon an Easter. Attached to this blog is art "Blue Diamond" which is on sale for $400.00. Illustrations for Once upon an Easter are not for sale. Once upon an Easter is available on Barnes&Nobel.com in eBook format.
With the coming of Easter also comes Easter showers
and Campbellville always floods. Mr.
Kerry our neighbor had a speed boat which he would float down to the wide
trench at the back of our homes. The trench was called Milky. And there gather all the boys of the street
and we would go speeding up and down the trench. This was the water way where
all the boys in the neighborhood learned how to swim.
Peter
one of the older boys would lead us out to the middle of “Milky” floating on a
log then take the log away and leave you in the middle. This called for
desperate action frantic scramble to the shore line suddenly we were swimming. Going to swimming in Milky was not however
approved by my aunt Yvonne. Therefore after concocting lies as to our reason
for leaving the house we would end up at “Milky” swimming naked as we were born.
Best way to swim one felt a sense of freedom.
