I'm 46 and my childhood memories were not of getting everything we wished for but of little things that they could afford. The simple things like a teddy bear and one year, measuring spoons from a lady that knew that I might like them, was like candy in my stocking. Speaking of stockings..it was nuts, an orange and an apple and maybe a few candy canes but still, there was always joy at Christmas time.<br /><br />I loved your childhood memories and your mom's picture. What a beautiful, stylish lady!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796409346539226959.post-42406777403696694672009-12-21T23:17:32.373-04:002009-12-21T23:17:32.373-04:00What a fabulous role model.
