Going in service and peeking in houses to see Christmas lights...and sneaking peeks of the lights on the houses on the way to meeting.

Grandma's lap. Grandpa's truck and cigar. The smell of super-balls from the machine and back to school shopping at Kings.

Climbing the apple tree with my siblings at the place I lived during most of my childhood.

Also, when my ride my bike with my little brother sitting on the handle bars. We would ride to the store down the street to get candy. That was some hard riding, but it was fun.

....the memories....

My favorite activity as a kid was to play in my sand box. Especially when dad was able to get us some of the "white" sand. It was soft as silk and so much cooler than the yellow stuff. :-)

camping, fishing, swimming in the creek.
Playing in a desert wash for hours with my brother and sister- pretending it was a magical place.
Family bike rides around town then to get ice cream.
My mom rocking me for hours when I'd get sick...

Ninja, you're so bad.

Oh, I forgot to mention picking blackberries and eating them until I was all purple

Going to the pecan orchard and filling sacks with those delectable things

Reading by lamplight until I fell asleep

Coming home from school to a supper of pinto beans, pig tails, and baked sweet potatoes

Getting to school early to start a fire in the woodburning stove so it would be cozy when Teacher arrived

Having my big brother read the Bible to me

Eating tomatoes/peaches/pears right from the branches

Enough for now.
