Summer Memory


Recommended Posts

I remember it well...it was summertime when Dad taught me to swim. I had been hanging around the house, and mom had about enough. So she told dad to get me out of the house. We went down to the local swimming hole, which was a wide, deep part of a local creek. There, without warning, he unceremoniously threw me into the deepest part of the swift creek waters.

I really didn't have any problem figuring out how to swim...it came pretty natural. But I had a hell of a time getting out of that burlap sack full of rocks.

Ha. Yep that's a good laugh. Glad I didn't learn that way. But it did remind me of going to grandmas in Tennessee every summer. The wide, deep part of the local creek was called the Sally Hole. That's where I learnt to swim. Never could figure out why they called it that. Lol
