3 significant childhood memories

1) going to my grandparents house and mom having the bottom drawer full of toys for all of us grandkids... it was full of coloring books, books, and the suzie doll... also just going to mom and pops and just being completely spoiled and having so much fun... the carport was like grand central station.  she had a mode of transportation for all of us... scooters, wagons, swings, bikes, you name it.  she had slip-n-slides for us... they had six grandkids and goodness she would give us the world.  priceless memories.

2) i went to country club children's academy as a child (so did kendall) and one particular day popaw abbey came to get us (it was not planned)... moma would tell us when he was going to.  this must have been before moma and roger were married, so i immediately went into panic mode (it should also be noted that i couldn't have been any older than 7, haha).  i am sure i was just scared, not that i didn't like popaw abbey, we loved going to momaw and popaw abbey's.  we watched the golden girls, had pinto beans, cornbread, and crisper french fries, haha.  when popaw abbey showed up at nearly six or after, they closed at 6, i knew something wasn't right.  he said my mother had been in an accident.  or dear, to a six or maybe almost seven year old, whose biological father had just passed away (literally when i was six), i was terrified.  moma ended up being fine, but she was just unable to pick us up.  i will never forget that day though.

3) this one is just another good memory::  on saturdays, my mother, sister, aunt, and cousin would all go to pizza hut with our book it certificates and then head to hickory to go to the mall... i loved all the family time and me, kendall, and dena were so close.
