Ok I've been feeling nostalgic ever since I've started reading my old dairies so I thought it'd be fun to go back in time and reminisce about a few favorite moments from the past .Some are from the distant past and others are more recent .Hope you don't mind me rambling😇 Anyway I've done it in a survey type format so you can join in if you want to 😍
Favorite childhood memory
Living in Wyoming.I remember so much that I enjoyed ( boy do I wish I was writing a diary back then!) I loved the wide open spaces we had for a back yard ,playing with the baby praire dogs, and going to Yellowstone,the Tetons,and Lost Creek.I remember Kara riding her little pink bike in the parking lot of our town house and Luke hating the lasagna from Swans cause he said he didn't like the noodles 😅 But then I was no better cause Swans had these enchiladas and I always liked them until I saw they had raisins in the ingredients and bam suddenly I decided I didn't like them anymore 😬Then there were the sleepovers at Tara and Jamies house, the burger place behind us (with the worlds best burgers or at least they were to a 8 year me 😉)and that pizza place in Saratoga .All I can remember is the ton of oooy gooy cheese they always put on.mmmmm😋Oh and lets not forget riding in the back of that green station wagon!
Now I can't even remember if this happened in WY or not but it was somewhere around that time frame.Anyways we were driving somewhere and I looked behind us and there was a guy in a car eating an apple and he kept pointing at us .Well later we realized that mom's purse was sitting on the back bumper and we'd forgotten all about it.Obviously he'd trying to alert us to the fact but at the time I just thought he was a nut .
Something silly
Putting glue on my face and pulling it off once it dried ( I remember it was in Kansas so I was probably around 7-8 )
Earliest memory
some strange man knocking on the door when dad was at work .I remember mom calling dad on the phone to ask if he'd sent anyone over.I guess I just remember it because it was a bit scary so the memory stuck with me
Favorite Game
hmmm not sure but I do remember loving "quiet waters still waters" a game we learned from the Baptist church in Wy and "sharky sharky" which was something we little people made up
Favorite house
think I'd say the ranch house we had but I loved the woods at the house we moved to when we came back from Michigan it was like a private park complete with a darling little brook.
Favorite recipe
I loved mom's swiss steak and kidney bean casserole.Mine never turned out as good 😏 I also loved a certain emon cake I had it at a church poluck in MO . Been looking for a similar recipe ever since.Have tried a few here and there but nothing spectacular
What to be when you grew up
well I remember in Wyoming I wanted to be a truck driver with a purple simi
Favorite book
Richard Scarrys" I am a bunny".
Favorite toy
Probably my big white teddy bear considering I kept it into adulthood .But otherwise I'd say a pen grandpa gave me in Wyoming .I remember it was one of those multi color ones with what seems to my mind anyway was 12 different colors but probably not that many.Everything seems bigger when you're little.There's another toy I remember really liking though I have no idea what it's called.It was some type of revoling toy .Can't even remember if it was ours or I just played with it at a friends house.But I remember putting little dolls on it and it would slowly twirl around.I searched e-bay one time trying to see if anything would come up and I did found something similar but now I can't remember the name😬
Scary moment
Hearing the floor boards creek when I was home alone.This is an old house and I'm slowly getting used to the borads creeking under my feet but this happened when I was in the bathroom which scared me something awful cause no one was supposed to be out there .I really thought someone had gotten in the house and was creeping about.I took a can of shaving cream with me and went searching the rooms upstairs but didn't find anything .I've since realized that when you walk across the hall the boards getted pushed into place but are too weak to stay put so they pop back up later creating this creaking sound even though no one is walking on them on that moment 👀
Something that happened to you that seems almost unbelievable
I was walking back from work one afternoon and saw a 20 dollar bill laying by the side of the road .I didn't pick it thinking maybe someone had lost it .But lo and behind it was still there the very next day so I picked it up and took it home.👏
