    One of my favorite childhood memories was going to my dad's car meets.  My dad collected old cars.  His favorite was a 32 Ford Phaeton.  It was his first car and he restored it.  My family would pile into the car (which was a convertible) on the weekends.  My sister and I would sit on the floor of the backseat with my great grandma's quilt over the top of us to keep warm.

    bkc....I love that! I remember my brother's letting me play with their marbles, but never letting me play against them!

    footprints...I loved those sleep outs in tents or for us..homemade tents with blankets and poles. Not much sleep either...but lots' of fun snack food and candy that we would buy with coins we found.  Those treats were really treats for us!!

    Remember going school shopping,. I went to private school had to wear dresses. Oh yes the lunchbox I took. My favorite teacher was Ms. Allen 1st grade. Wonder what happened to her. Boy that was a long time ago.

    Yesterday my husband told my 4 year old YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT!

    Her reply: Silly Daddy I can't fly.

    Brought back memories of all those things my parents told me when I was little.

    "Your gonna put your eye out with that"

    "You don't quit making faces at your brother your face is gonna freeze that way"

    "eat your onions it will put hair on your chest"
