Then one summer Aunt Val, in her encouraging voice, told me to just paddle like a dog. And I did it! She and I swam around for what seemed like hours. I do miss her. <br />Memories of fish nipping at my toes, fishing for hours, walking for what seemed like miles to get to the lake in the hot summer sun and then arriving to the woods where the coolness swept in and then practically running down the hill to get to the lake. Then hiking back up that gigantic hill (seemed like it when I was a kid) to get back to the house where Aunt Val would have homemade donuts for us and there was always room at the table. Remembering sitting for hours around the table peeling "millions" of apples to make apple pie and talking about anything and everything. I can still hear her voice.<br />Remembering the Joe, Andy, keith and Scott putting firecrackers in frogs' mouths, lighting them, and throwing them in the air only to watch them (in complete HORROR I might add) explode into pieces. So many fond memories...exploding frogs included. :)HalleenMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132653814895226463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274597536513688688.post-39554161273688543422009-07-10T00:11:10.445-07:002009-07-10T00:11:10.445-07:00I echo both of these addictions!

And, yeah, when they give you a passport with a picture that describes a real person who went through what you're only seeing, it sure does hit you. It's good to be reminded in ways that have a lasting impression.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15420749278283633022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274597536513688688.post-9967837888962264782009-03-22T20:03:00.000-07:002009-03-22T20:03:00.000-07:00Ahhh... vicariously... one of my favorite words.
