Memoirs
So, I've been writing my memoirs. For Christmas this past year I received a very nice leather bound journal and even though I keep a personal diary outside of my online blog, I wanted to use this nice journal for something other than just writing about our day to day events. So...I put pen to paper and started writing about my life and the most memorable parts I can remember and...it's not easy to remember stuff, at first. You have to be in a nice quiet place, usually my bed in the evening time, with my night stand light on, the window open so I can hear the crickets and frogs and the TV playing in the background with the volume on low, and then I start to think back to my earliest childhood memories of growing up in northern NH.
My earliest memories seem to be of my grandmother, my mother's mom, Delima, the only grandparent I ever knew. I remember her old farm house and her porches, how I LOVED her porches! I think back to how us kids use to explore her attic and play house upstairs in all the bedrooms, I recall the big old Maple Tree in her back yard that stood on the hill leading downward to the riverbank and how in the winter we would slide down that hill and in the summer months we often walked on the rocks along the river leading us down stream.
So, that is where I am starting, at my Gram's house and I'll go from there...and see where it takes me!
