Tribute to Dad con't(3)

Con't of Favourite Memories..

(5) after we moved into our new house, I had a basement room downstairs.. I can still hear the sound of Dad's feet hitting the floor at 7 am sharp, him walking down the hallway to the top of the stairs. He would call, "Myra, you awake?" which I always was somehow.. he would make us porridge usually, leaving Mom to sleep a bit.. and be out of the house by 7:30..

(6) Dad had a strange sense of humour I guess most dads do-- we were at my Uncle Irvin's once, and I was following Dad & Irvin around while they looked at the farm yard --just talking guy talk I guess.. and I got bored and decided to go visit the horses in their corral.. and I decided to take a short cut through a corral instead of going around it.. somehow the fact that it had a big fence didn't really register with me.. I was basically a town kid in a lot of ways.. halfway across I heard a snorting. I turned my head to see s abull on the other end of the corral.. I have never run so fast and got over a fence as fast as I did that day.. to find Dad & Uncle Irvin laughing ...
