Riding tricycles with my next door neighbor, Tanny, on Okinawa- must have been about 3.
DD, you asked some hard questions last week. Not sure how I missed this one. Bustin' a gut over something my Big Sister said, but to this day, we can't remember what it was. I was probably three and would have made her a teenager.
But, I vividly remember helping Santa place presents under our tree. Santa wasn't in a red suit
. Daddy was in the hospital and I woke up to see if Santa had come, yet. A large man standing in our living room asked me if I wanted to help him with our presents? So, I did. He left out the front door and I ran screaming down the hall way that Santa had just come!
Only one gift was missing.....Santa was a burglar! I saved Christmas!

I was about three years old and I distinctly remember my uncle that was in the navy who was home on leave, remember him leaning against the kitchen cabinets and his white suit. I also remember a lot of kindergarten. Of course my first memory would be about clothes! 
My closet doors in my first house? Something about sitting in my grandmother's kitchen and the phone rang? Going to the prom with Dad and coming home with Mom? (Kidding--that's a really old joke.)

Holy Crap Lynnie!! Naturally.I was about three years old and I distinctly remember my uncle that was in the navy who was home on leave, remember him leaning against the kitchen cabinets and his white suit. I also remember a lot of kindergarten. Of course my first memory would be about clothes!
I was 2 1/2 and they brought Scooterbro home. I told them to take him back!
I have a crazy memory - they used to scoff at it until they realized I knew too many random details to be remembering pictures or stories.

I have a memory of dropping food over the side of my high chair to the Boston terrier. I can even remember the pattern on the floor. Maybe I was about 2?? Beyond that, I remember my uncle having a tape recorder at Christmas and all the big people making me say stuff on it. Maybe 3-4?
The beach---We came down every wekend in the summer when I was 3 & 4 years old. We stayed on the bay at a place called Kings Motor Court. It was accross Hathaway bridge on the right going in to Panama City. We stayed in cottage #34.
My dad went out fishing with a friend who was a captain on a boat. I think his name was Howard Zediker(sp). His daughter would baby-sit my brother & me on Sat. night so they could go out.
It was a long 6 hr. ride from NoAL. in a old Ford in the early 50's with no A/C. I'll never forget those wool seat covers stinging my legs.
