Thurs{day} Thoughts...

With my daughter getting old (every moment)... I've been thinking about my own childhood. There are some memories that are so strong and some that seem to have faded along with time. Why do you suppose that is? Getting older and memory loss? Or is it just life has taken over and we need reminding of those pleasant days of when we were young... 

I like to believe it's just life... and in return, I love it when my now life brings back memories of my own childhood... One that happened just this week...

My daughter, loves loves loves dogs... she loves playing and sleeping with her stuffed doggies... she also loves pretending she's a doggie... it's adorable... I never get tired of seeing the joy she gets from her doggie playtime.

And this week her playtime triggered one of my own childhood memories... We didn't have a dog when I was a child... but one of our favorite things to play... was doggie. My little brother would pretend to be our "doggie" and my older sister & I would play with him and put bowls of water & food out for him... we would do this for hours... just like Rainee... I love this memory of my own childhood, but also love that Rainee is making her own "doggie" memories...

It doesn't take much to make a memory... or to trigger one that's been forgotten. What is one of your favorite childhood memories?

Rainbow Sling...

I thought I'd share my latest crocheted item in my Etsy Store...  on both blogs... 

This Water Bottle Sling... is a great way to hold your water bottle. It's perfect to take along on walks... hikes... bike rides... dog walks... bird watching... shopping... concerts in the park... or a day at Disneyland. I love love love the bright rainbow. It is just so fun... I've been using mine all summer... and every time I take it anywhere I get an order... So... today's the first chance I've had to get one up on my Etsy Store... anyway, here it is...




Thanks for looking... Have wonderful day...
