BELLS!!!!!!!!! ( see josh's blog first)
Bells amusement park was my very first real life job!!! I got it the summer that dad and I started dating! I remember working one time on a ride called the "mouse"....I pushed the wrong button and let a "mouse" go through and hit the "mouse's" waiting to be sent off.....anyway, the mouse hit the other mouses with a GREAT crash.....next thing I know, I looked up and Bobby Bell was running out of the office (which just so happened to be right next to the "mouse" ride) and yelled at me to get away from that ride and not touch it again! He also yelled at the supervisor to never let me on it...I spent the rest of the summer in the kiddie park having to endure the merry-go-round music! I also remember that my friends and I would go down to the little park just west of Bells called Florence Park, on our breaks because they had a little water sprinkler there that kids (like me!) could play in. One time we had gone for a cooling off, cuz this was before they had the water rides there, and when we got back, I was put on the "bullet" ride...easy to operate....except when your body is wet and the ride has mega volts of electricity pulsing through it....needless to say, it pulsed through me a little bit. There were so many other memories I have of that place, the smells, the trash, the fun, the puking, finding all the things that fell out of peoples pockets at the end of the night.....times change, people change, as my friend Sandy would say "lifes all about changes"! So fasten your seatbelts, hold onto the stuff in your pockets and have a GREAT time on this ride called life! I am having a BLAST!! Just got through having Colin for some of his spring break and Anabelle and Emily came up and spent some time here with us. I get to go spend Brooke's birthday with her and also Easter!
