Ten. . Uh, Twelve Things I Miss About My Childhood 

Ten Things I Miss About My Childhood

1. Being together with my sisters and brother and Mama and Daddy.
2. Skating on the 'pond' in the winter and coming in to drink homemade hot chocolate and warm our frostbitten toes by the stove.
3. Walking over to Aunt Irene's to get the mail.
4. Having Sunday morning bible class outside under the trees.
5. Playing with my cousins
6. Climbing my mimosa tree and reading a book up there. (Or raking the freshly mown grass into a circular fort and reading a book in there.)
7. Watching Gilligan's Island
8. Going to Hootenannies on Saturday night
9. Listening to Mama and Daddy sing "Don't Fence Me In" on car trips up to the cabin at Fifty-six. (To my siblings - Remember the time that cow was in the living room when we got there? Or the time I let the toilet paper roll go and held onto the paper. I TP'ed a whole mountain without meaning to.)
10.My Grandpa coming over to visit and bringing Circus Peanuts.

Ah. . do I have to stop?? Maybe another time I'll do more. Rachel and Tracey both just did five, so I feel like a hog already. :) (But it's really hard for me to leave this subject without including going down to the rice flume ditch to swim with all of us packed into Daddy's old Scout and also, filling notebooks with really bad poetry that came from my melodramatic heart. Hee-hee. I snuck two more in anyway.)

Sign the guestbook, please!! I love to know you stopped by. :)

I thought hootenannies was hooters, for a second.

Ooo, those are so good. Mine were kinds cheesy and not really personal. I should redo them. Ya'll inspired me.

Love, Rachel
