Day 20

Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood.

1.  I remember my mom painting the house once.  I wanted to be out there and help her.  Jeff and Sue must have been in school already.  So she gave me a bucket of water and let me "paint" the bricks on the bottom of the house  ;)

2.  Visiting my Great Grandma Fairchild in the nursing home.  She was in a room by herself and from what I remember it only had a twin bed (the one Rose uses now), a desk (which is in our kitchen), an overstuffed chair, a small TV on a stand, and a bookshelf.  In the bottom drawer of the desk she kept a small red rubber ball that she would let us sit on the floor and bounce against the door and play catch with ourselves.  On her bookshelf she had an oval shaped thing with blue and white sand in it, and when you flipped it around and around it looked like the ocean waves.  I have never seen another like it since.  We must have visited her a lot because I am pretty sure I was only about 7 or 8 when she died.

3.  When I was in Kindergarten some other kids on the school bus dared me to kiss a boy and I did.  I think only on the cheek  ;)
