A Whole Campus for a Backyard Pt.2

So I have decided to write another post about the campus I use to live on.  Since the last post I have remembered a few more good stories, mostly about my brother, Tim. 

So let me start with the disclaimer that I am not trying to embarrass Tim. ¬†He really was a great kid, just a little¬†mischievous¬†at times. ¬†So one of the things that I remember is Tim collecting things in his pockets. ¬†One time he had a whole orange, peeled and sectioned, in his pocket and at his leisure he would pull out a piece and eat it. ¬†Another time I remember him collecting rolly-pollies in his pocket. ¬†He must have had like 100 in there. ¬†ONe of the other things that Tim liked to do was climb trees. ¬†He usually feel out of them also and that meant a trip to the emergency room. ¬†One other thing Tim liked to do was throw things in the Duck Pond. ¬†He threw in a whole box of salt and pepper shakers, a chalk board and chalk, a play phone, rocks, a pair of brand new shoes (his own), and probably lots of other things that I can’t remember. ¬†He also liked to hang out with the guys on the¬†maintenance¬†crew and the college guys. ¬†I love my little brother.

Now onto some other stories.  I remember tying a little tykes plastic wagon to the back of a bike and pulling people over the speed bumps.  We ruined that little wagon.  I remember Brenna Nepomuceno  cutting my hair and the hair of the college guys in the ping pong room.  One of my favorite places to play was in the rock house.  Man, did things come to life there.  We had such imaginations!  

I saw an opossum this morning and it made me think about the one that got stuck in the dumpster.  That thing was vicious.  It took like 2 days for it to crawl out and the dumpster was on its side.  When ever some one would approach the thing would hiss like crazy.  I stayed far away.  Ummm Does anyone remember when one of the guys backed the truck into the dumpster?  

I remember hanging out with the Reasoner kids and the Keck kids.  We meet so many awesome people up there.  We spent a lot of time with the Gray girls.  Becka, do you remember the slugs on our flowers that we picked that one time in the rain?  We had so much freedom and fun.  Everyday held a new adventure or imaginative game.  

Who remembers the firecrackers in front of Vorhis?  I can see Bro. Rushing laughing at the reactions, and Bro. Perryman running out of his trailer with his hair all wild.  

I have more I could write but I will stop here for now.  More to come soon!  Hope you enjoy!

    LOL, sounds like you had stellar times!

  2. Becka says on :

    Tim only fell out of trees like 3 times, not every time he climbed one! lol :) And yes, I remember those slugs! Dad had to come to the rescue and throw those flowers out since we WOULD NOT touch them again. I HATE slugs. lol They were such pretty little bouquets! Too bad we had to get rid of them.

    At least Tim didn’t collect the roly polys and oranges at the same time…ewww….

  3. Jay says on :

    Was it Shane Tafoya who backed the truck into the dumpster?

  4. Jen says on :

    lol, you better be careful what you say about Tim. He’s already mad at me for saying something about the quarters in his pockets, and I didn’t even explain the whole story. lol
    I still can’t believe he threw his shoes in the pond. lol

  5. Jay says on :

    Renae doesn’t really have to worry about Tim. He’ll never find her down there at the South Pole!

  6. Renae says on :

    Actually I think it was Kirk Kizzer who backed the truck into the trash can. At least that is the one I remember, but there was probably more than one.

    you should be nicer to your brother you never know when you will have to ask a favor from him

    Not Kizzer, Keiser. (Or something like that. lol)
