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!
