| lived in the country in a quiet neighborhood | | | | his fishing pole, so he and I started poking |
| with a sheep farm down the road that had a | | | | around in his Dad's work shop and found a |
| winding stream that ran behind their property | | | | long stick and some string which we tied to |
| and my neighbor's house as well. Needless to | | | | the end of the stick. Then for a hook, we |
| say, I learned to play with "boy toys" such | | | | used a nail and hammered it into a shape that |
| as his farm toys, cars, etc, and played | | | | we thought made a good hook. There it |
| Cowboys and Indians (that should give you a | | | | was...my homemade fishing rod!I actually got |
| hint of what era!), and I was always the | | | | a worm onto that nail and cast my line out |
| Indian for some reason. For some reason, he | | | | into the creek at the deepest point I could |
| never wanted to reciprocate in playing | | | | find. Believe it or not...I actually caught |
| "house" or dressing dolls!However, we | | | | a fish on that homemade fishing pole! Our |
