Long, long ago - back in the early 1960's - I was born. Things were different back then. Way different. I have decided to write my own personal memories from those days, because I'm not sure how much longer I will have a memory at all. My mind is slipping. I could blame my memory loss on any number of things: an unhealthy lifestyle, gallons of diet coke over the course of my lifetime, being pulled from too many directions, and having kids. Whatever the cause, I am becoming more and more forgetful.
Memories are just naturally funny things anyway; the longer they sit there in your mind, the more distorted they get, and you can never be sure how accurate they are. My three sisters share many of the same memories from my childhood, but we all have different versions. That's just the way it goes. These are MY memories of times past. They are misty, watercolored memories of the way we were...
