Somewhere I have very strong memories was my Grandparents old house in poplar bluff, and the reason for this is because I would go down there all the time and spend lots of time doing things outside. I will talk about all the memories and what has happened down at my grandparents house.

So when I was between the ages 5-10 My parents would take me down to poplar bluff to spend time with my grandpa and grandma. They had a beautiful house on about 4 acres with a huge backyard. Well, when I started to get a little older and taller My grandpa threw me on the riding lawn mower and tried to teach me how to mow the grass, and when I started I really could reach the break so when I started mowing the grass the lines were really messy and my grandpa threw me off it. Not actually threw me off but said no more mowing. Well I really liked driving the mower so I asked Grandpa if I could just drive so he would put the blade and I could drive around on it. Like I said I couldn't reach the brake but for the mower to stop you would have to get all the weight off the seat, So I would just sit up and the mower would stop.
Poplar bluff is a very small town, and I would remember driving that mower around like it was nothing until one day we were having a huge cookout with all the family down there. Me and my cousins were fishing in the creek right in front of the house, and we would only catch little fish but it still was quite fun. Me and my cousins thought it was a good idea to jump in the creek and play in the water well. As soon as I jumped in I could feel so many snakes at the bottom and I was terrified of snakes. I ran out of the creek and decided to get cleaned up, and after I got cleaned up I wanted to ride the mower so Grandpa let me ride it, and then I was riding around in the backyard for some time and I heard the food was ready so I was riding up to the house and those white picnic tables were in the grass with a whole bunch of food, and then I was driving up and sat up to stop the mower but it keep going well I ran right into all the food and it went all over the place and I was very disappointed, but it made me feel better that I didn't get yelled at but everyone was just laughing at me. There were many more memories in poplar bluff but I can say that this was probably the best one.
