MEMORIES...

Last night I went to Debbie's Heritage Makers Party. Sooo fun! I didn't buy anything but I DID hear some cute memories from Grandma Stickney, Debbie, Aunt Sharon, Amie, and Blair.

Grandma Stickney told us one of her first memories of her mother. She said when she was a little girl, her mom asked her to go outside and get some hay for the animals on their farm. She went outside but before she could go far, her mom called her right back to the house. She ran back and as she reached the house she saw her mother standing with a little bird on her shoulder! She said she'll never forget how amazing it was to see a bird just sitting there on her mom.

Debbie said she remembers going to the house where Grandma Stickney grew up in Lake Shore. It was a beautiful house with a real, working farm. She remembers visiting with Grandma Stickney. After they walked around the house, Grandma sat on a fence outside and just looked at the farm. Debbie said she remembers a breeze was blowing through Grandma's hair and she could tell Grandma was remembering what life was like living on the farm.

Sharon remembers being sooo excited for Grandpa to come home from work when she was a little girl. Grandpa worked for the post office and he would ride his mail bike home. Grandma would tell the kids when Grandpa was on his way home and they would wait for him outside or by the big front window. When he got home, if there wasn't too much mail in his basket, he would take the kids for a ride on his bike. He put two kids in the basket and one on the front handle bars and took them all riding up and down the street!

Amie told us her favorite vacation memory. She said she and the kids LOVED their Disney cruise. Every one's favorite part of the vacation was the room service! They had a great time swimming and playing, but it was sooo fun to order pizza and giant chocolate chip cookies at midnight.

When Blair was a little boy, he got to take home a baby chick from his kindergarten class. The first night he brought it home, he put it in a little box in his bedroom. Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep because the chick kept chirping all night long. It chirped and chirped. Blair thought it was probably cold and decided to bring it to bed with him. When he woke up the next morning, the little chick was laying on the bed next to him, flat as a pancake!

The End.
