If you read my previous post you know my parents recently left their home for a retirement community. This is bitter sweet (like sour patch kids). I am happy for them but that was my house and now someone else is living there. Well I hope they like lead based paint. Just kidding. Anyway I thought I should jot down some memories of 2558 Valley Dr. In no particular order...
Every time the creek flooded out the park.
The Acclaims wild ride.
Ganges eating the ham by herself and keeping it down for 5 minutes.
Ganges running full speed into the sliding glass door.
Getting hosed off after trying to re-enact Peter's walk across the water.
Getting my own room.
Hiding the Christmas sandwich cookies.
Finding Christmas presents in Feb and Easter eggs in Nov.
Walk up and down the steps 10 times.
When Airplane the movie was on TV and my Mom would get no sleep.
Thanksgiving when we watched Hoosiers.
The time my four mice got loose and went missing (don't worry new home owners, we found them...or did we?)
The day Mom locked herself out of the house and I sprayed myself in the face with a fire extinguisher trying to break the glass to get in.
My Dad racing I mean RACING my Grandma's car around the neighborhood while the roads were still dirt.
My Brother's van that was 17 1/2 shades of brown and the horn played La Cucaracha.
Susan and the Desitin go 10 rounds.
The snake that killed the azaleas.
Mowing words in the back yard.
Mom gets us a new garage door.
But one of my all time favorite memories is Ganges eating the VCR tape and then having tape coming out BOTH ENDS! I laugh just thinking about it.
Well that's it maybe in 26 years I will have a list for my house, maybe (hopefully) sooner.
