Any Wonderful and Warm Memories of Childhood to Share..........

 I ask this question today as I was reminded by my mentor in the alzheimers forum about something that is and was so dear n very close to my "HEART''

 

 I can picture my Mom,out at the clothesline with the apron around her ...pocket full of pegs BUT she would still take the time to hand me the pegs in handfuls so I could be part of it too

This memory has really got me very nostalgic today and thinking about Mom and just how much I do miss her and how alike we were/are

She would have to hang clothes a certain way

 

Shirts were alwasy hung upside down and another was hung beside it and then the pants and then miscellaneous clothes as well as all the undergarments

She loved to do this and it was something I so enjoyed doing with her back then and I do the odd time with Cait 'cept have to rig a clothesline" as we are currently in an apartment on bottom floor BUT are moving to a bigger town

The talks we ( mom n I ) had whilst doing this was my favorite part next to the smell of the freshly dried by air clothing .....nothing that bounce or snuggle could ever replace in my opinion'

I did all the ironing when young even tea towels and pillow caeses still do that and Cait helps out has to have a crease or definiately no wrinkles in her clothing or is on a mission til they are all gone ...lol

Do any of you have fond memeories of your youth spent either with certain friends or your parents that you would care to share with us

 I think it does the heart good to recall some "good times" in our lives and just not all the bad ya know ..........

 JUST my own opinion and if you care to share please do ..........

I had tears this am when I wrote back to my mentor ............all he did was mention he was hanging the laundry on the line

IT has filled my heart with lots of warm n wonderful memories ...

Perhaps you have some too

 

Just a thought

 

Take care and
Be well all

I am glad you like it and as the day goes on more memories come to mind
Easter and its getting the " new dress ,bonnet and black or white patent leather shoes and of course gloves and going off th Church........
Mom 's fav holiday was Easter and always made us a beautiful homemade basket and hid the same thing as your mom and we had at that time quarters to dollars in them and at the end of the hunt we would all sit and if one sibling didnt have a dollar and the other had 2 one dollar bills we gave them ours
It is so beautiful to think back
Sometimes yes it is sad but hey Memories are going to be with you forever and traditions to pass down right ....so keep the good ones going IMHO
Thanks for being my ray of sunshne and posting your beautiful story

Looking for more from others and you of course

I remember bill paying day! LOL! My sister and I liked it because we'd get to take the payments into the different businesses (we felt so grown up!) and when the bills were paid, we'd go to Jimmy's Drive In and get a hamburger, fries, and drink or milkshake! Yummy!
It was also fun going to the Drive-In movies in summertime! Eating popcorn sipping cokes and being entranced by those awful grade B movies! LOL!!!!

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to Six Flags Over Texas. Man, that was a fun place. Still is, probably, but it's a lot different now than when I was a kid. Back then it was much less commercialized. They didn't have rides named after movie characters and stuff.

The park was really old...I think it opened not long after Disneyland did. So it was "earthy", I guess. Not sterile.

And for some reason I remember going Downtown with my mom and one of my friends one time. She had some kind of business down there but whatever it was didn't take long and we spent the rest of the day just hanging around. I remember that there was some kind of tunnel between the Hyatt and the Reunion tower and it was all decked out in that cheesy 80's brass. The theme from "Dallas" the TV show was looped in there, too. Then we went to lunch by some kind of big water fountain and went to see where Kennedy was shot. I don't know why that's such a fond memory, but it really has stuck with me.

Watching Mom so tenderly attending to her Rose Bushes and her other flowers BUT the rose bush stands out the most
Her tiny lil body down on her kness and pulling weeds so gently from around them
The pride in her eyes she had for them
Being able to be with her when she did this so unreal and yet so beautiful
I so miss it but like I said
HOLD on to those special memories
Remember IF you still have one of or both parents make some new ones I implore you
One day they wont be there.........Know from experience

There is nothing wrong or weirsd silly anything but GOOD about that post MS Anne
YOu want Mama Bear to kick some Butt...lol
OKay going with your post here
Cait had a gerbil or hamster cannot remember which now but anyways it stopped breathing she was 6 and what did she do
SHE LITERALLY went and got her "Ventolin" inhaler......and used it on the animal
IT WORKED.........OMG you should have seen the look on my face it was just dropped to my knees ( mouth that is lol)
I could not believe
1....that she would even think of that
2 ....that it would work
3 That it actually lived for t least another 6 to 8 mths
Her calling is certainly of A Vet
THat memory is priceless and I still laugh about it today .........
