Sitting in our little general store eating a candy bar and drinking a coke, {You could buy both for 50 cents}, or if we would scrounge for returnable bottles would even be cheaper, listening to the old man who owned the place tell us story's of his life long ago.

Being at my grandparents camp in the summer, going swimming every day, eating all the good food my grandmother cooked. It was so nice to be away from our house in town where it was always hot and humid.

The worst was being old enough to understand what really happens when your cat gets run over.

You know, I can't remember any special good times or bad times, guess that's good.

Guess it would have to be meeting the neighborhood kids at the creek to swim. Always determined that Memorial Day weekend was the beginning time for swimming, even though the water was just above freezing.
Worst memory: Had to spend an hour weeding the garden before going swimming.

My rear end is starting to hurt just thinking about where the old man put his shoe, because of the countless stupid things I've done while a kid. Wonder if his ankle ever hurt.

My best memories are probably those where I was spoiled rotten by the regular customers when my Dad owned a bar in Chicago...worst memory probably was when my parents divorced when I was 5 and going to live with the man who became my stepfather. He's been long dead and was not a good man in any way, shape or form. Such is life, huh?

Mine would be of my family camping trip before my Dad passed away. We went to the Blue Ridge Mountains to one of his friends Christmas tree farms. It was the most beautiful place I have ever seen, we had a wonderful vacation.

We stayed in the log cabin, but also set up a campsite near the lakes if we wanted to sleep outside. The lakes were crystal clear, you could see the bottom and drink out of the lake if you wanted.

There was a pipe coming out of the mountain side that had ice cold spring water, the best I've ever tasted. The air was so fresh, there were beautiful pine trees everywhere, and you could see every star in the sky at night. It was the best time my family ever had together.
