My Favorite Childhood Memory is.....

Going to Disneyland when it first opened

sledding down our cul-du-sac in the NY suburbs and thru neighbors' back yard

Being the teachers helper, and thought I would be a teacher

someday.

my brother taking me to see Return of the Jedi the day it came out

When Barbie dolls first came out, Every girl had to

have one. My family couldn't afford one, so I got a used one.

My mom made dresses for it

My mom teaching me how to do plastic canvas at age 7. She did the main part of the pattern and then showed me how to do the stitches before giving it to me to finish.

Going on a boat ride while my Uncle Jim was water

sking, Though we lost him but he was fine. Everyone

had a turn mine was very little. Ha Ha

Watching the air plane come in with my father

from Viet Nam

Seeing the Marching Men come back from war safe.

Going to fly to Hawaii, Air Force Base

Playing with my cousins.

Remember the black and white hard shoes?

I remember my sister wearing them!

One of my favorite childhood memories is laughing with my Mom. She had a great sense of humor and we always made each other laugh.

Lazy days tanning on the beach with my baby oil and iodine.

Almost all my great childhood memories involve my Granny. She was 68 when I was born and I was the youngest of many grandchildren and I lived very near so we spent tons of times together. She went on almost all my class field trips with me and I even went with her on several Senior Citizen outings. We were quite the pair. She made the best fresh squeezed lemonade and I always felt like she was making it special for me. I have her antique lemonade pitcher on a shelf in my kitchen. When I smell honeysuckle it reminds me of her because it grew all around her fenced yard and she taught me how to suck the honey from the blooms. I miss her a ton!
