But when I think about the major do overs that would have been life altering it occurs to me I wouldn't have the life I do now.

This was a sad story. I still long for my husband, but forgot the fishing event. When I was in college we used to go swimming and fishing at the Green Lake with my boy friend. I was 17 and he was 18. Then one day when I threw the hook with the bait into the water, a mama duck with 5 ducklings jumped into it and her mouth was caught with the hook. What a dreadful experience that was. My boyfriend got her and slowly removed the hook from her mouth. She was hurt bleeding, but I think she made it. Then we went home, gave away the 1 trout we caught earlier. We never went fishing again. Sad, I could not eat that day.

This one was a happy one. During weekends, we used to visit the Zoo in Seattle, near a rose garden. In there was a huge gorilla with a baby. She was always on a praying position that we called her the praying gorilla. Her baby was so cute. Being young is fun. That was one of the nostalgic moments I've missed.

I too have a nostalgic memory but it's about a time, that I became so angry I almost filed for divorce. I know you're shocked; even more so when I tell you it was all over a dog. Jeanette's childhood friend was married to a man who, like myself, loved to hunt and fish. Don was big into coon hunting at night with dogs, something I'd never done before. Don invited me to go with him one night. Once was all it took because I was thoroughly hooked. Don kept the coon hides to tan and sell; the meat he sold to a mink breeder. He had different size boards, rounded on top, so that he could stretch the coon hides over and tack the underside. Of course there were quite a few boards of differing sizes to fit different size hides. After several late night coon hunts, Don suggested I might want to consider buying my own coon hound - I agreed. The next thing you know I had a young coon hound that cost $250 when $250 dollars was a lot of money. Truly, at the time we couldn't afford $250 but being young and foolish...you know what I mean.

My young dog was totally untrained. I asked Don how was I to train her and he said to simply let her run with his hounds. Dear people, I want to tell you that in short order Daisy was leading the pack. Don said he'd never seen a dog more natural to coon hunting and so intelligent. I fell in love with Daisy. Deeply in love! I began to make my own stretch boards for the hides and selling the meat trying to recover Daisy's cost. I mentioned how smart she was but I didn't tell you that before long all I had to do was show her a particular size board and Daisy would find a coon to fit it. Life was grand. I also told you we almost split because of Daisy because, you see, one day Jeanette set the ironing board outside and I never seen Daisy since.

Of course, and they make me smile. If I think about some of them long enough though thoughts like 'man was I dumb,' or well I'd better not get into that one. It's just some are happy memories and some aren't.

Yea that's for sure thinking about do-overs can give you major headaches and make your blood pressure go up. When I start to go there I find something else to do.If I changed anything I wouldn't have my 3 sons and that is unacceptable they are my p***e and joy. Changing even one thing could change everything. The mistakes made will remain mistakes and a lesson learned
