Another great chapter worthy of more strs. The Japanese soldier incident hd me laughing out loud. I don't know why, but it reminded me of when, a few months before our wedding, my fiancée gave me w birthday helium balloon. My mom was sleeping, so I left it in the kitchen. When she got up and saw it, she first thought it was a spaceman!

What a nice telling of the times.
And you sure got into a pickle! Goodness, what a mess. I can see it all now, having been entangled myself. And then the iodine and the alcohol!
Glad you survived.

Ouch and double ouch! I know those briars had to really hurt and then the cure was almost as bad. What a way to learn a lesson, huh? Great story!

I think briers and brambles would be a real problem for any little girl, but those medical remedies for infection would've hurt, I think now one can purchase less severe remedies for those cuts and welts, thanks for sharing Beth, blessings Roy
