My Favorite Childhood Memory is.....
Comments
-
Going to grandmas to spend the weekend and we alway
went to the pancake place for breakfast. Its not here anymore.
-
Skipping rope, wearing my best dress and singing out loud without a care in this world!! Life was so full and innocent.
-
Playing red light, green light, kick the can,
Simon says, and Hide and seek

My grandmother lived with us. I loved to sit on her lap in the rocking chair while she read to me.
-
Watching my grandfather build me a play house out
of wood he didnt need for garage doors.

I love to go visit my Aunt and bake cookies
to take to others,

Playing house and dressing my cat up like a baby

baking cookies - especially sugar cookies and putting different colors of sugar on them.

Playing with my easy bake oven. Inwas enchanted by the tiny cookie, brownies and pretzels it produced all by the heat of a light bulb!

Mom would take food coloring to color the sugar for our
cookie. I also love to help her make designs on them.
-
I use to love eating the Everything but the Kitchen sink soup.
(Leftovers) And would use dish soap for bubble baths

Making my first knitted baby quilt in Brownies
-
Riding my Road Runner bike with the purple sparkly seat, riding with no helmet with hair whipping in the wind, sitting on the beach at Cape Cod, with the sound of the ocean and the wind again beating in my hair, the sun in my face, my mother kissing me good-night. The fun with all my siblings, my racoon..the sound of wind rattling my window during a blizzard...ice skating on the rink my father built every year...back when there was a winter (lol)....very happy memories, very happy childhood....but saying it doesn't take away my worry, it just makes me sad to think about these care-free days....and I feel bad for the children on here who have lost their mothers....and how this will be part of their childhood memories....and this is devastating to think about....
-
Playing with my hula hoop and enjoy going roller
skating, I had to be careful not to lose the key to
take them off.

Walking up a small hill on Easter to have Easter Ceremony

My special Easter hat, I was so happy cause we were
poor, but I still got a hat.

We didn't have much money back then, so the first time I got a pair of RED SHOES (I think my Nana bought them for me) I wore them to bed every night for a week! (Until my mom found out....
)

Blessings2011, I can see you in your red shoes in bed,
Mine were black and white and I dont know were they
came from. But I know we ate alot of peanut butter and
jelly sandwichs for lunch and I still like them without the jelly

This is my new favorite topic! What better memories that from childhood when everything was simpler. My father raised bird dogs (English setters) to hunt quail. Every year we had several litters of puppies. Their breath smells SO sweet. Invariably the mother dog would crawl under the house to have the pups. So multiple times a day, my sister and I would crawl under there to play with the puppies. I remember once when my sister was 8 and I was 4, she tried to nurse one of the puppies on her chest that was concave. It dented in. She is a big bad intelligence officer in the war now and I tease her about it all the time. I threaten to tell all when her security clearance comes up!!! I remember walking to church on Sunday morning in the summer and smelling the block long of climbing roses literally from blocks away. And we used to swim in the creek outside of town. The water was spring-fed and almost ice water. We would float our watermelon in the water to cool while we swam.

Making snowflake with paper and scissors,
Paper dolls in Mcall Magazines
-
Playing in the creek behind my house making mud pies, catching crawdads, and dog paddling!
-
going to the library with my grandmother. She walked and I roller-skated on the way down. Walked back, because it was uphill and I couldn't skate up.
-
Taking pop bottles back and getting money to pay
for school things, 5cents x whatever got alot then.
-
oh man... My sister and I used to fill up our wagon (a radio flyer) with old pop bottles and drag it up to the store. We'd buy ice cream with the money.
After she got older and hauling used pop bottles was beneath her - I used to find the "love letters" her boyfriend(s) would write her. (she was 5 years older than me, and so full of herself...
) I'd read them and laugh myself silly. She'd sit on me and pull my hair, but it was worth it to drive her crazy!!!
-
I had two brothers and would always get blamed
for what they did (I was middle) until Dad caught
them one time. I love it.
I loved going to the beach and looking for shell
and covering myself with sand.
-
I loved going to the ocean and digging razor clams. I'd dig with my hands and my dad would always yell at me that I was going to cut my fingers on the clam shells, but I never did.
-
My brothers would take my old roller skates and
make a skate board or race car. They were metal
