Tanya helped me think of this



My favorite memory was going to Granny's house! I just loved going there and her making me Chocolate Malt O Meal.


What is yours?

Seeing my grandmother's africa violets under the lights. Looking at her cocktails chirping and throwing seed. Being in the kitchen. My grandmother making tuna fish sandwiches for lunch. She asked me if I like onions in it. Then once lunch was ready, my grandmother yelling out to the barn for my grandfather.

Oh but I didn't like it when I got in trouble and she made me go out to the tree and pick the switch she was going to use

Mine: When my brother, sister and I were kids, we entertained each other with shows made up with our imagination. I created the Water Baby Show in our toy house. The show was done almost everyday. Another thing we did was tape record ourselves using some scenes from the radio. We'll record a song or a person talking...then we'd switch the recording to the microphone so we can say whatever we wanted. Sometimes we'd do stories or make up songs, jingles, or commercials. I'm telling you...we never stayed bored. I really wish I knew where those tapes went.

Being from town, mine was a week every summer spent at my cousins on the farm. Riding horses, playing in the creek, sleeping outside, getting lost in the corn fields. Basically everything I couldn't do in town.

Going to grandma & grandpas house spent as much time there as possible

Hunting and fishing trips with my family

Going to the lake at my greatgrandads house and picking blueberries.o such good memories.

I think it is great to read all of these.....


I use to go on the fishing trips and I would catch more than anyone else. Now that I am a parent, I still do it. But I don't catch as much.

Guess the story they use to tell me "I can't catch them while I am taking them off of your hook is true"

Camping trips with family(brothers were in Boy Scouts).



Spending lots of time at my Aunt Pat's/Uncle Al's home in Stuart Fl.right off the water.He had a boat and he and I would go for a ride.Sometimes to other side and hed stop and get a beer and Id get a pudding.I thought I was big shyte hanging with the adults in the neighborhood bar he went to.


He taught me poker when I was 7.


Gave me my nickname that I have til this day.Only for special peeps though.


Miss them like crazy still.


RIP

PAT/AT

I have lots of favorites. Camping, wrestling with my dad, getting my horse, Christmas mornings, Birthdays, my friends, etc....

Oh and watching Dr Who with my dad when I was like 9 or 10 during the summer.Stayed up til like 2/3 am with him.


It was our time.The only time I really spent with him just us.

I remember going to the VFW or Elks Lodge with my dad when I was young. He use to play the guitar, sang and played pool. I loved listening to him sing, and he taught me a lot about pool.


He and my Granny, were my two favorite people in the world.

I miss them both

Thats where we went, the ELKS lodge !!!! They had the best chocolate mousse, I ate it every time we went.



I was the only kid there.



I miss him still to this day, my Uncle.My Aunt as well, but he and I had a special bond.

That is too funny. Not many people know about that place

I always got Shirley Temples to drink

Finding my dad's nudey magazine collection.

Why does that NOT surprise me?

It was like discovering gold....I mean, when I found it, it lit up like gold, their was "Halelujiah" playing in the background....it was magical.

Wow, I would never forget such a moment either

Id get virgin Strawberry daiquiris and my mousse.


Everytime I see one, I think of him and our visits.



Yeah, not many people do.

My father was a single father for a while... I remember staying up way to late... laying across the dinning room chairs... watching the twilight zone and ripley's believe it or not on a small black and white tv.
