AWAKE&WATCHING
Climbing trees, I would sit in a tree and read for hours.
Catching frogs and lizards.
Blowing bubbles. I still carry bubbles with me where ever I go. It's amazing to me how people react. No matter what age they are, they can't help but smile.

Making a 'tree-house' in our backyard;
My first bike-ride around Fort Wilderness Campground at Disney World;
Watching 'The Archies' cartoon Saturday morning, rather than going out in Service.

Sitting on a sandy creek bank with my feet covered with the cool sand
Lying in a field of clover watching the fluffy clouds sail by
Getting a treat once a week and trying to stretch it to the next
Going to church and having the older ladies hug and fuss over me
Saving 5 pennies for a cone of vanilla (was there any other flavor?) ice cream
Teaching my nieces, nephews, and other children how to read
There are sooo many more...

AWAKE&WATCHING
Playing kickball.
Having a race on the playground at school or in the neighborhood. I could run faster than all the boys and I beat everybody. I really loved that.
Hearing the ice cream man coming from down the block. Everyone would scatter to their respective homes to get money for a treat.

The Oracle
Hey Mary!
We are soul mates!
My first bike-ride around Fort Wilderness Campground at Disney World;
I have to admit - it is a special memory for me too. The cool way the whole camp was designed. All those fun street names. At the time I thought that this was the way it was going to be in the new system everywhere.

Watching the Christmas tree going up. When I was little, that used to be a lot of fun. I would like to watch my parents putting up the lights, and then the bulbs and other ornaments, and finally the tinsel. And then watching it with the lights on.
