Did you ever walk into a house, restaurant, drive down a country road with the windows down, or take a walk and smell something or see something that reminds you of days gone by....?
Well I do it everyday since I moved back to Maryland....today was no exception! We drove up to the store in Pennsylvania and the memories poured into my mind.
I looked across the field on Hwy 439 and saw a tractor cutting a field...instantly thoughts of my Uncle Alfred came into my mind...I use to sit in his lap in the tractor. One day we both fell asleep...tractor spinning in circles until my cousin finally jumped on and woke my uncle😊.
Then there is the fresh eggs for sale sign by the steps leading to road .... my Aunt Linda flooded my mind. She use to make me laugh always selling eggs. One day when my kids were young. We were visiting from Germany and a man came up those steps. "Excuse me," he said " I think this one belongs to you." He was carrying my girl in his arms.
We finally made it to the store and I picked up all the ingredients to make my dad and step mom some enchiladas. Talk about memories....Aunt Doris was from Arizona!!! Now she knew how to make some enchiladas!!! She always was willing to let us watch so we could remember how she made them. I was the youngest so my memories of her are far less then my sisters and cousins. I try still but mine just aren't the same. Still delicious but not my Aunt Doris'....
Cherish memories...write them down...don't let opportunities pass you by.....
