The bell on top of the mailbox
Forcing the flowers to bloom from the tree in front of our house.
Playing hide and seek with the neighborhood kids. The light pole was base.
The basketball goal.
The pool.
Our red fort house out back.
The electric fence.
It backed up to 10 mile creek.
Playing in the creek.
The pinball machine in the garage.
Watching that samauri movie on laser disc with Jared.
Playing with our Speak and Spell.
The hidden closet in Scott's room that went all the way over to John's room.
Climbing over the balcony and on top of the bookcase in the living room. Jared & I couldn't figure out how Marilyn knew we were doing it, but apparently we left our little footprints on the glass top.
Playing bank and school with Candy Hart.
Dad had timers put on our closet lights because we ways forgot to turn them off.
Turning off all the lights and shutting the bathroom door turning on the heater that looked like a spaceship.
Picking out a belt. Dad would make us go back to his closet and pick out the belt he was going to spank us with when we got in trouble. The walk back to his bedroom and back was possibly worse than the actual spanking. It took me a while to figure out that the skinny belts didn't mean it would hurt less. Just the opposite was true.
Jared trying to pull my tooth by tying a string to the lock latch on a sliding bathroom door and slamming it shut. That's when we realized that only worked on regular doors.
Oscar the Polaris.
Deya, Nayo, and Fobbie.
Janet and her "cow pattie" cookies!
Dad bringing our family dog, Poquito home for the first time.
