Michigan - Saginaw County | Well, we raised the kinds in a tri level house. Always put the ladder up to the garage roof (lowest level) from the driveway side, at the corner end, took the hose up and cleaned the gutters going clockwise around the levels, winding up at the garage corner on the back side of the house opposite the ladder and over a nice soft lawn. Then I would throw the hose and tools down, sit on the edge and jump to the lawn, One story. No biggie.
Well, the boys got bigger and it became their job.
I taught them my method of upright posture, feet together, hit and roll. (and you have to yell geronimo as you push off)
About 20 years later fall comes around (again) and no boys left.
Oh well, I know how to do this.
Finally I am sitting on the back corner and push off "geronimo"
I am here to tell you that the ground rose up and smote me.
Somehow over the years that house grew.
That one story is at least three now. | |
