I just read all of the comments to my gardening post and I busted up remembering the skunk family in the strawberry patch. We had the hugest strawberry patch down that rather steep enbankment and one year, maybe more, I remember an entire skunk family. Robert Cavanaugh, one of the little boys in the neighborhood, messed with those skunks and was squirted in the face for his trouble. (Served him right!) What did Dad do with those skunks? I think he and Jay Fidel found a way to get rid of them in the mountains. Or is that another cover story like Rags running away?
Love you all.

I thought we all got in the van with the skunks in a box and drove them to the canyon. Although I have been told that my childhood memories are only my memories, not shared with anyone else. So.... did that really happen?
You are right, Rebecca, that is exactly what happened. And Martissa, Rags did run away - that isn't a cover story. She jumped over the low wall in the back yard of the Campos Drive house to chase a squirrel and we never found her. Don't be so suspicious.
Thanks for reminding about the skunks. They were so cute.
Wow what adventures all of you had growing up. Skunks. That one I could have done without. Such a stinky subject. hehe.
I remember getting in the Van and taking them out in to the canyon also... so that is the story I am sticking with
I remember the box, the skunks and the canyon, but didn't someone also have a pellet gun?
