- Walking 1 1/2 mile to school, taking a shortcut through a little wood that was so magical to me.
- Crazy snowstorms that made the doors completely inaccessible so we had to get out through the kitchen window, no school but lots of shovelling!
- Watching The Flintstones, cartoons, Walt Disney.
- Playing records and writing out the words so I'd be able to memorize them.
- Camping trips to the Atlantic coast.
- Skiing in Quebec and Vermont
- Watching color TV for the first time
- Watching Nadia Comanici's perfect 10. WHAT A GYMNAST!
- The first steps on the moon.
- Getting to wear a tutu for my first ballet recital.
- Swimming ALL DAY until my fingers and toes turned into prunes.
- Picking fresh blueberries in the forest near our house and having a pie made from them by mom. YUM
