Old Times

I started this blog because I have so many memories of my childhood, and spending time with my mom hearing all of her stories about her childhood.
I remember that our house was so small maybe the size of a average room, but it was a mansion to me. My Dad and Mom seperated our rooms with sheets. My mom would always tell us about her hold room being the size of a mattress but it was her private room. I remember a time that we sat on my moms bed making a recording of Johnny Cashes "Ring of Fire" it was being sent to my dad.  I never realized that making that recording was because my Dad was not with us.  I did not realize that until I was an adult going over stories with my mom. It wasn't a sad time it was just a fact of  life.  He went away for work to take care of us.
I remember care packages my dad would send back to my mom.  We would always get so excited.  In  one of the packages there was a pair of red girl shoes(you know the shinny ones with the little buckle across the top).  I thought that they were just the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.  I dreamed of having my own pair some day.
I want to share our bath time. Me and my older brother Andys bath time was a large wash tub my mom would drag out in her kitchen area.  I never realized all the work it would take her to get the water even for our bath, because there was no running water inside the house.  We just thought of it as playtime. Another little note to think about is that our home in Belize was a raised house so my mom always had to deal with stairs to carry the water up to.
We were so young in Belize and there are so many little stories and memories I want to share.   And I am planning on using this blog to keep them around always. :)
Thats all for now.
