Sober Sunday #17

Welcome to Sober Sunday #17.  I'm Lisa, sober for more than 690 days consecutive and this is my blog.  I was adopted when I was a small girl.  I had an extensive and involved drinking career.  I quit that job in September of 2013.

I grew up at Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan.  My Dad was a farmer.  Often, he would work around the farm all day and then take us girls for a swim at one of the beaches on the lake and/or some ice cream at Dairy Shoppe.

I can swim very well after taking swimming lessons at Aquadeo Beach on Jackfish Lake every summer for seven or eight years.  I used to ride my bicycle sometimes down the scorching highway to the beach.  We lived on a hill so it would always be a quick ride down it on the bicycle.

My Dad taught me how to ride my bicycle.  It took a day or ten or a month to learn that skill, I can't remember.  Although I do recall clearly when he let me go at the start of the sidewalk and there was a large rosebush at the end there and I fell into the rosebush.  The rosebush was green and in bloom so it must have been June or July.  I had no training wheels on and was ready to start riding on two wheels so I must have been five or six years old at the time.  I probably cried.

That's a little more about me and some of where I came from.

Thanks for reading.
