Childhood Memories Tag
(First of all...golly I've been blogging a lot while my hubby is gone. Can we say BORED?????? I probably would have last night too, but we were without power for about 2 hours due to a windstorm! Maybe I can get to a chapter in CTBHHM tonight....?)
Thanks Holly for tagging me!
5 Things I Miss About Childhood:
1. My Opa. He was my dad's mom's dad, so my great-grandfather. He only spoke German. Well, he knew 2 English words: More wine (but it came out "More vine"). LOL! He was extremely gentle, and THE most athletic person I knew. He was hiking in the Alps, cross-country skiing, etc. well into his late-70s. He smoked a pipe, and as much as I dislike cigarette smoke, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of pipe smoke because it reminds me of him.
2. I used to love going to my dad's parents' house. My grandpa was the Boy Scout Camp director for, well, EVER (LOL), and they lived on the camp. So especially during the summer, when we'd go visit we could go swim in their HUGE pool, go to the mess hall (with the industrial-sized Kitchen Aid mixer that sat on the floor it was so big LOL), go to the trading post, etc.
3. I miss not having to take care of people 24/7 LOL!!!
4. I miss all the great cartoons that used to be on. Now there isn't much to choose from (on non-cable programming anyway)
5. I miss having time to read as much as I wanted to.
The rules:
Remove the first person from the following list, bump everyone up one spot and put your name in the number 5 spot. Please link all of the blogs as they are linked now or risk future blog-shunning. (Do you think this would really happen?)
Shades of Pink
Mommy Brain
Journaling Through the Valley
Threefold Cord
Keer "Unplugged"
Now, select four unsuspecting souls and add them to the list...
My Rambly Scrambly Thoughts Blog
random wonderings and wanderings
compulsive compositions
Red-headed rants and rambles

I am blog brain dead. How do I bump someone from the list? I’ve been tagged but I can’t get up. Oh wait, that’s not right….

LOL!!! Just like with a chain letter, you move everyone up a notch (take the person at the top off) on your blog and add yours to the bottom. Like what I got from Holly, she had someone at the very top of her list that I took off so I could add mine at the bottom.

Oh my goodness!
You posted with your full name on another blog and I’m so happy to find you blogging. *grin*
I’ve been meaning to write you a long, involved e-mail for about two years. (Since I rec’d your Christmas letter about two years ago. . .) I cried while reading it while walking to the store when we were in Ukraine. I can’t tell you how much it touched me. . .
Anyway, while I’ve procrastinated on writing an e-mail, I’m so glad to find you blogging. I think I’ve commented on your blog before–and I know I’ve seen you around. I just didn’t know it was YOU!
Grace and peace,
Alexandra

I don’t remember now. . . Just that I rec’d it one cold day in Ukraine, and your kindness and transparency were very much used by God. *mush, mush*
I kept it, thinking I was going to write back. . . And then when we moved a few months ago, it went the way of everything that we weren’t going to pay to have shipped back to the States.
It’s great reconnecting with you!
