When I hear parachuted, of course, countless movies come to mind where the young, courageous soldier or spy parachutes beyond the enemy lines and does something courageous or gets caught and has to endure all kinds of hardships.
Or I start thinking of my brother in law who loved to parachute. if that is a word. he loved to jump out of airplanes with a parachute. Well, without, it would be a one time experience, I suppose. so, for sure, with one. Anyways, my husband also did that. But he likes to fly in little airplanes. I get sick in them. And heights make me sick too.
I actually can look out of a big airplane and I am fine - but the idea of a little two-seater is so not appealing to me. Neither is jumping out of any kind of airplane.
My husband's dad had his own airplane and one reason they only had two kids in the family is that he couldn't afford a bigger airplane. a four-seater. That was it. So, two kids were the limit for that family.
My husband learned how to fly airplanes and I believe he got his solo license when he was sixteen. But for him, it wasn't a passion like it was for his dad.
At a recent visit, his sister told us how sad she was. She really wanted to learn how to fly, but he got the lessons and couldn't care less. Yup. Different times when the boy got to fly - or go to school - or do any number of things while the girl had to look on.
When I started out, I really wanted to write about a pair of pants I had when I was young. they were made of parachute material and they lasted forever. I think I need to see if I can find something like that again. As long as they come in purple.

I had several pairs of parachute pants! They were absolutely my favorite clothing item back in the day! Thank for bringing back the memories.
do you think we can still find them somewhere? Or are all the hippies dead? 🤪
Steemit fashoin show if we do find them!!!!
YES!!!!!! 😂
Great freewrite. I am happy to see that it happens also to an experienced free writer like you to end up with a totally different story than originally intended (it happened already quite a few times to me).
That is the beauty of freewriting - you never know where it takes you and often, you end up being surprised by the outcome. when I started, I didn't even remember the conversation with my sister in law - and then, here it was LOL
Hi, i did 2 post for freewrite . But if you don't mind i want to know is there any reward for this freewrite contest? as i am new in this project so i do not know.
The daily prompt is not a contest. It is a service for you - an opportunity for you to become a better writer, to have material for a daily post on steemit which is an opportunity for income, to become part of a very supportive community. It also allows you to participate in contests on our Freewrite House account - which you already won a Steem Basic Income membership.
We are on day 263 now and there are writers who have participated every day. If you ask them, they will tell you that the rewards you get from participating are way beyond a prize.
Thank you for asking.
Purples my color to Marianne. 💜
😍 It is a beautiful color - what can I say. You always find things! If you find parachute pants somewhere, let @papacrusher and me know LOL
Thank you so much for being part of the #socalsteemit community.
Thank you so much!!!
