week 5...fond mems

Can't tell them all it would take forever! but here are a few.
when i was 6 my dad asked me... how would you like to be in the drum corp?
I was very excited about this and said yes i would like to play the drums.
so i went every week to learn. they had this long table with round drum pads and i was
so small i couldn't reach them. they had to stack 2 coke bottle cases on top of each other so i could reach. back then the coke bottle cases were made of wood. bein so small my drum instructor would get a kick out of puttin a drum on me. it was very heavy and would hurt my shoulder so my mother made me a little pillow to put on my shoulder so the strap wouldn't cut into my shoulder.

Another fond memory i have as a kid is when i got my first record player at christmas with records! it was like alittle box, the cover was white and the bottom was red. the record i loved the most was Little Lulu and her bag of tricks.

i remember when i finally learned how to ride a 2 wheeler.
and it was my grandfather who taught me how to make potholders.
the kid next door showed me how to knit.
the first grade nun who thought i was special.( Aim, your gonna have to ask me why this nun thought i was so special)
never forget givin birth to the girls and many happy times with them through the years.
i also have fond memories of my dog Lady, she was such a good girl.
lookin at Kaitlyn when she was first born i will never forget!

week 4.. nickname and why

when i was a kid my father always introduced me as Suzie. i use to cringe, i hated it and even till today if someone calls me suzie i don't like it. when i was around 12, 13 one certain person started callin me sammy. i didn't mind that at the time, i was a tomboy. with the real name of
Susan.... most everyone calls me Sue.

week 3 , physical traits

i can only think of one physical trait.
my mother had ugly elbows! now i never really thought much about elbows before but
seems in my aging process, which i'm not handling well, my elbows are starting to look
like my mothers!!! i could just scream. so if you see me in long sleeves even if it's 90
degrees out you will know i am hiding my ugly elbows! lol
