memories......

So many memories this week......  First the Olympics were awesome to watch and reminded of other Olympic games - both summer and winter -- AND when we were a lot younger and riding sleds or trying to skate.  What were you thinking of?  Did you get to watch any of the Olympics?  What is your favorite to watch?

​We always watch figure skating but added skate boarding, some skiing and some of the bobsled.  The skiing was both skiing down the hill and jumps - as in jumps with "flips."  We agreed it was interesting to watch and reacted when the jump didn't work.  None of us had tried skiing so memories were of agreeing we weren't going to try more.  The bobsled reminded us of a friend of our family's who had a 'toboggan' run from their back door, twisting and turning down the hill to the edge of the river.  We all agreed it was a LOT of fun.

Then we were watching a different table, while we were out to eat, with a LARGE piece of chocolate cake.  We remembered going out to eat with our mother, the night before she suddenly died, and have a wonderful dinner with all four of us eating some of the chocolate cake with some left on the plate.  A wonderful memory we could share!
