Childhood Memories

Recommended Posts

some things are strange that stick in your head and the association with Childhood memories. For me its the smell of Road bitchumen (road tar freshly) Always takes me back to a hot summer in one place chasing the rag and boneman to get little things off for handing over junk or swinging from the back of the coal lorry as they slowly crept along making deliveries to all the houses in the street :)
Funny how somethings trigger certain memories !

One night, one of my coworkers brought in a cd with Peter Paul and Mary. As I sat in the office and listened to it, I can't describe the feelings it conjured up, it was very poignant. My sisters used to listen to them when I was a kid. (good feelings btw).

When my mom was sick and had to go away for awhile, I had to stay at my uncle Bill's and Aunt Carol's place. Uncle Bill was an avuncular person. One day when he returned home from work he said: "Come here Harry, I want to show you somethi'n." We went out to the backyard and he threw something up into the air, soon descended a blue figure suspended underneath a round parachute. It floated to the ground. Coolest thing I had ever seen. I related this story to one of my sisters years later and she said: "I'm surprised you remembered that. You were two years old." It must have planted a seed.....;)
