I remember our first home (for 19 years or so) - it was a farm house ... before the whole area became an urban jungle on the fringes of London, now absorbed into it. It is interesting looking back ... <br /><br />This sounds a great blog hop to be involved with to spur the writing up of past times ... cheers Hilary<br /><br />PS I hope all is well ... thinking of you both ...

I wonder if it would come back to you.<br /><br />Diane, good thought about going back to Kenmore. As a child, walking home from school, I would run past Kenmore in fear of seeing the ghost of Fielding Lewis on his horse.<br /><br />Birgit, what a lovely memory of your beautiful slippers! Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Trevann,I'm glad you wonder about that, too.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting, Raine Balkera.Notes Along the Way with Mary Montague Sikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417679983279135001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-370732763852062002018-01-15T12:00:45.333-08:002018-01-15T12:00:45.333-08:00Thanks for sharing a lovely memory!Thanks for sharing a lovely memory!RaineBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563853703480189861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-87553816717629998542018-01-12T16:14:18.709-08:002018-01-12T16:14:18.709-08:00I often wonder the same thing— What part of my mem...I often wonder the same thing— What part of my memories are real, and what are just my imagination.Trevannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517062178730212602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-87923245690941241612018-01-12T11:29:34.897-08:002018-01-12T11:29:34.897-08:00That's pretty cool that you can remember somet...That's pretty cool that you can remember something like this...except for the gingerbread:) My earliest recollection is sitting on the chesterfield and looking straight to my feet. I was wearing my beautiful navy blue slippers. They were smooth and soft probably trying to be a soft leather(but they weren't). They came over my ankles so they were booties and had a border of red and white flowers near the top like one sees in Europe. I was clicking my feet together and was so happy and felt safe with my booties. I bet my Oma and Opa sent them to me. My mom told me I might have been 3 years old.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-4985769654187135002018-01-12T05:03:02.483-08:002018-01-12T05:03:02.483-08:00You need to stop by there sometime and see what ot...You need to stop by there sometime and see what other memories the place stirs up.<br /><br />My earliest memory is from when I was three and the hamster we had when we lived in Pendleton, Oregon.L.
