    I remember that we had a fig tree at Grandmas and we would take

    a branch from another tree and knock them down, One day we

    knocked a bees nest down, and we sure ran.

    What was the first thing you ever cooked alone for the family?  I cooked some packaged macaroni and cheese.  The pot with water was sooooo heavy, I couldn't imagine how adults did this so easily.

    Leaf...good question.  I have been thinking hard about that one. I remember the first thing I made myself on the stove top...it was a fried baloney sandwich.  The family...I think it was a recipe from 7th grade Home-Ec. class....called Tuna cups.

    Oh, leaf, you brought back such a nice memory for me!  When I was 8 or 9, I remember making "butterfly cupcakes" at Brownies and serving them to my parents for dessert that night.

    Butterfly cupcakes: After baking & cooling any type of cupcake (I vote for chocolate) cut off the top (the part over the paper liner) Spread whipped cream on the cupcake, cut the top layer in half, and place the 2 cut ends in the whipped cream to form a "butterfly".    )(

    Going to the store with a dime and spending such a long time looking over all of the penny candy.  Taking time to figure out exactly what I want and how much it will cost.

    sneaking under the fence with my brother to watch a local ball game.
