Fun Monday - Childhood Memories
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine.

I just caught up on your blog again. SO enjoyable. Curlymop and Buttercup sound so genuine. I wonder what Curlymop expected to find in the cup? A fan?
And as for your bucket list, WOW. I would enjoy doing all of those, EVEN the storm chasing. I LOVE watching storms, especially thunder and lightning. As long as they let me wear a diaper while we are chasing tornadoes, I'm cool. Aurora Borealis is the love of my life! I saw the northern lights in Yellowstone when the power went out at a youth dance and we all went into the parking lot and there they were. Incredible! I've wanted to go see them up close ever since. My island choice is Bora Bora. A friend was from there and she says the sand is SO white that if she put it in the sugar bowl you WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Her boss didn't believe her so she replaced his sugar with bora bora sand and fooled the whole office. ha! The whale one would be cool, but for me would be replaced by the galapagos islands so I could see my friends the tortoises. The giant ones.
OK. This comment is WAY too long and don't I know it? yes I do. Love your blog, as per usual!
umm, birds of prey are my favorite birds....hint hint

Always an education here at your place, PamelaJamela.
