Oh these are so good, and sad.
Teri, I Love Lilacs,and can see how that would be a great memory.
And Deb,
The car story, I have those two, My dad has pic's of me standing on my head in the back seat on vacation, going out west, I was so tired of being in the car.
And then when we would go places I usually go to take a friend (only child syndrome) well one summer, we go to Sea World, and cause my Dad was so COOL, he decided we MUST take the Corvette,so me and my 12 year old girlfriend are jammed in that back compartment the entire 3 hour trip. I remember every bump, cause they ride so smooth. lol And I remember my Mom bitchin' and moanin' the entire way, because of it.
And your Dad and on your wedding day made me cry! What a great dad story.
And I have a stealing story too~
Stole a pack of " chicklets" from the grocery store, cause Mom gave me the "Look", when I asked for them.. I'll show her, I thought! So, we get home I run straight to my room and shut the door,, RED FLAG, she comes back,, opens the door and I of course, have my mouth full! Well, back to the store we went, and I had to go in and return them and tell them what I did..
