miles away

with a cast of soldier-like

forest alongside

in the mist of 7:am time

thrills & excitement

of a 17- year old’s summer job

a must-do-well delight

to work in a lumber camp

& siblings along with mom needing

my success – dad unable to

carry his family. This eldest son

proud & determined.

It was hard to sleep the first

night with stars &

crickets and

bullfrogs singing songs

for me.

A great nostalgic memory Richard that takes you back to your younger carefree days. I bet you had so much energy back then... wink I know I did in my younger days.

Enjoyed reading.

So succinct a picture of the experience and place with its bullfrog sounds etc, and the pleasure of helping your family a little at last. Rhiannon
