Answer 2

I remember the first time I rode a horse, I was only 6, I wasnt that keen my parents forced me. I finally got on this old tired horse and was riding it around for a few minutes and another horse started to try to kick it, so the horse I was on bolted under these trees, I hit a branch and fell pretty hard, had a good cry.

I was ok.... this very same day after hours of arguing my parents put me back on the horse (they must of tied me down). Whilst I was a little battered and bruised the rest of the day was ok.

I am now a really good horse rider and have never fell off since that first day! and I have some excellent memories of riding horses with friends growing up.

Answer 3

Many memories of childhood with family and friends.
I tend to reminesce through a few at a time.

I once found an envelope with $175 in it, at nine year old this was a fortune! That thrill is more memorable that the purchases I made including a $100 bycycle that we would never afford.

Going back to simple time in life gets me away from now and responsibilities, pressure and worries. I was hardly aware of wordly issues and problems.

Now I am more concerned and they seem more prominent and threatening.

Answer 4

Well there was this pretty girl next door apartment, and I'd just discovered the reality - the birds and the bees, stuff - I was about 9 or 10 and she a year older. Well she wanted to know what I was so snug about. When I told her, she kinda wanted me to show her, and so we did try it out, but didn't know how to go about it. In the end we just gave it up, she thinking that I was lying.
(She did find out that I wasn't, later when I was 16).

But that groping and those attempts are fond memories. And she was lovely, even as a child.

Unfortunately she got hit by a car and went to the blue yonder a few weeks after our successful trials.

Playing with my best friend... On the swings... On the slides... On the tire swing... But best of all, trying to climb up that huge rock infront of her apartment... And when we were a little older, climbing through the hedges surrounding her back yard, from one end to the other never touching the ground... And of course, laughing at her little brother who never stopped running into the sliding glass door, even with a big X taped across it...

Answer 6

Our many family get-togethers, especially picnics. My two great-aunts in their 80's, one who drove but never learned to back up, the other who made the worst potato salad in the world and always brought it to those picnics, and someone always managed to sneak and throw it out so she'd think it got eaten. My Dad, who spent 6 days a week driving a truck on his job, then spent Sundays driving his family all over West Virginia and Virginia to visit all the historical spots, State Parks, etc. My Mom, who loved a good joke and had the most contagious laugh and loved us all unconditionally. My Sister, 7 years older than me, and always watching out for me, tailoring her own activities so that I wouldn't be left out. The Grandmother whose house we lived in and who made biscuits, milk gravy and sliced tomatoes for my lunch while the other kids in my school had to eat the cafeteria crap.

Answer 7

pretty much all of my memories about my grandfather are full of those laughs that just dont happen much any more.... the full belly laugh that you just cant hold in. the ones that make you laugh so hard your eyes water. i miss him very much, spending time with him was just so great. he didnt have a lot of "book-learnin", but he was so quick witted, and absolutely everyone that knew him thought of him as one of the best ppl you could know.

Answer 8

Answer 10
