I can still...
See these sitting in my mom's kitchen cupboard...
Remember all the hours I played with this amazing dollhouse...
Taste the gritty pieces of undissolved powder in this, no matter how much I stirred...
Feel the cool, fresh feel of my favorite set of sheets...
See my sister Margie wearing one of these around her neck...
Taste the distinct taste of these special treats my mom found for us every single year...
Hear this comforting voice at the end of every weekend...
Taste the sweet crunch of these that my mom would decorate our homemade birthday cakes with...
Know the cozy, safe feeling of this, right down to the blanket...
Remember the excitement of wearing a pair of these on the first day of eighth grade, even though it was 70 degrees outside...
And remember laughing with my family every Sunday night, watching...
and
Because I had the most wonderful childhood ever.
I hope you have happy memories too.
Billie Jo
Google for the memories.
All great things! I love those moments of drifting away into nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so fun to look back. I miss good tv shows like The Jeffersons and Alice.
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then someone will post these things on Instagram, but in my case it was the 60s and 70s. For the most part, its a sweet trip down memory lane. (:
