I remember going to see Dr. Doolittle, the musical, with my mom. It was a birthday thing. I don't remember which birthday but I'll guess it was around 8 or 9. I remember the theater being BIG, with balconies! It was pretty cool. And it was just my mom and me. It felt special for some reason.
And my most favorite "amusement" park was the Japanese Deer Park. Nobody remembers that place.
I remember sucking the nectar out of the honeysuckles growing on the back fence, at our house in Hawthorne. And Pete the little Dutch rabbit and Jimmy, my best friend from the across the street. Oh, and my favorite teacher - Sister Catherine Elizabeth, 3rd grade! She was the best!!
In 1971, my mom took me to see Bobby Sherman. My very first concert! (we all know I was hooked after that!) It always makes me smile when I think about that. I remember that she curled my hair and I got a new flowery dress to wear. How awesome is that!?!?
A couple years later, my Aunt bought me a winter coat when we were in Chicago. I loved that coat! It was a red/rust colored crushed corduroy, down to my knees, with fake white fur trim and gold buckles. Kind of like this!!

And whenever we traveled, we always stopped at Stuckey's. Do you remember those? They had the best souvenirs! I always wanted some kind of furry thing, like a raccoon's tail or a rabbit hide. And CANDY!!!
Yep, I'm pretty lucky. I have a lot of nice memories.
