Going back to 2001 for this one!

I was at a local steer show and I had to wait till all hours of the evening as my heat was not on till then.... heat was called and a rush job to get my white dust coat and number on. Went out into the ring and did the first lap - our teacher had always said to maintain eye contact with the judge at all times. The judge had just walked past me and, remembering those words, I just glanced over my right shoulder and saw the finger point to me then to the middle - had to wait for the rest of my heat and the remaining heat to finish then the finals. What I saw during the final was not what I expected - I looked up to see my father standing outside the ring with our teacher. Although I did not get through in the end, I was quite surprised to even be there. After that was finished, I went out of the ring and walked around to Dad who was waiting to take me home.... it had been quite a long day and I was very tired. Dad just gave me the hug of all hugs (this hug still is in my memory to this day)..... and I still have the memory of making it through to the finals of that steer show!

Here's a topic to get us all in a cheerful mood.Lets share some of our own favourite memories from our younger years.Think of any times in your life when you were having a real good time when it wasnt illegal,immoral or fattening.Share some of those times here and hopefully we can get everyone joining in.I'll start this off:

I'm from Adelaide,Australia.As a child we used to Kraft Velveeta cheese until around 1970.They stopped making it here but its still being made in the USA and Canada.The smell of melted Velveeta cheese on a cold morning sitting by the gas heater.

Matchbox toys and going shopping for them.

Listening to the radio at high school during the 1970s.Great music.Now I collect those old K-Tel records as well.Brings back great memories.

Seeing the Ford Mustang here in Adelaide for the first time here in 1966.

Okay.Its your turn.Add your favourite memory/memories here.Anything that makes you feel good when your looking back on the past.

Finally! Somebody who was around in the 60's! When I talk about the 60's I can just imagine the kids around here, thinking I have moss on me. Great topic!

Let's see about favorite memories.

I remember wearing flowered bell bottoms all the time. And flowers in my hair.

I saw the original Star Wars 58 times in the theater. (Movies were cheaper)

Saturday nights going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight in the 70's. We would dress up as the characters and sing and dance along with the movie.

Spelling bees. I know.......dorky. I used to be able to spell and would win them hands down.

Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy and Donny Osmond!

My elderly neighbor had a huge garden and she taught me all about planting.
