Flown in a helicopter.
Original Jergens Hand Lotion (cherry almond) reminds me of my dear departed Aunt Joan.
I was still sleeping in a crib so I was under two. I remember waking up with very hot feet and finding that I had slept all night with my pink bunny slippers on.
A bottle of super hot sauce that just has a tiny bit left in it.
I miss ice skating. We went to the arena every Friday night during the winter. It was our hang out place. The last time I ice skated as a grown up I tripped and crushed the muscles in my forearm. That was it for me!

Thought for the day:Self discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don't talk back.

What have you done that you never thought you could/would do? I swallowed every bit of pride that I had (and a couple of glasses of wine), mustered up courage that I didn't know I had and called my ex-husband after 13 years. He made the rest extremely easy as soon as we started talking. It was DAMN SURE WORTH IT!
What reminds you of someone you love? Plants, flowers, nice smells. Doing the right thing. Not being rude. Treating other people nice. Loving your Mom. (All things that hubby exhibits.)
What is your earliest memory? I think I was 3 years old and I wandered off at an air show. One of the senior commanders picked me up and held me in his arms until my parents were found. He told me that I could come live with him and that I'd have a dog and new brothers and sisters etc. I totally believed him. Then my Daddy ran to get me and I'll never forget how that felt.
What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator? Not much. I'm a fanatic about cleaning things out of the fridge. I want to know that if I grab something out of there, it's good.
What is something that you did as a kid that you miss doing now? Probably having sleep overs with all the girls.

Message: Great questions, thanks VG!
What have you done that you never thought you could/would do?
Not to be gross, but changing an adult's diaper. When my MIL was sick, I had to do this for her, along with bathing her and cleaning her wound. I never thought I had it in me, babies are different, adults, no way! But I did it, and she's better.
What reminds you of someone you love?
My house. It reminds me of the journey the hubby and I have made since college, going on 16 years married. We have 3 beautiful kids and every day I drive up to my house, I feel blessed. I just forget I'm blessed when the kids start driving me crazy and the hubby asks what I've done all day!
What is your earliest memory?
I was about 2, I remember wearing an orange and pink romper, then sitting on an ant hill. It hurt so bad! My mother rubbed some cream on me and I felt better. When I related this story to her, she was amazed, she swears I was only about 1 and a 1/2 when it happened.
What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator?
A jar of salsa from Labor day, thanks for reminding me! I have garbage pick up tomorrow, so I'd better throw it out!
What is something that you did as a kid that you miss doing now?
Shallow perhaps, but I miss being the center of my universe. Now with 3 kids, a hubby, an aging mother and a sick MIL, I put my needs last.
Thanks for the fun, may you all have a blessed day!

What reminds you of someone you love? Pretty much everything reminds me of someone.
What is your earliest memory? Lying on the bottom bunk bed in a room I shared with my older sister, looking at the springs of the mattress above me and studying the pattern. I'm guessing I was about 2 because we didn't have that arrangement for very long.
What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator? Probably some sort of condiment. That stuff seems to hang around forever.
What is something that you did as a kid that you miss doing now? Having my Mother's brothers & sisters (& spouses) over for a visit. They were nice people and very laid back. She came from a really large family and most of them are dead now. I used to enjoy having everyone together and getting teased by my uncles.
