Of course, the memory that flashed before me was an embarrassing one. Ha! Walking into school one day before Christmas break, I fell in the parking lot coming into the school. The orchestra students were performing with the band students for the Christmas concert so I had to bring my violin to school. There was some icy slush in the parking lot, and guess who slipped on it? Yep, me! I was walking into the building with a friend, who, when I fell, nearly peed his pants laughing at me. My skirt was drenched and my pride was wounded, but I was doubled over with laughter, too. :)

High school...down in the parking and up the ramp
Since tonight was part one of my 20-year high school reunion (ahh!), it is only fitting that I write about a high school memory. There were many fun times at Hermitage, but I think my best memories involve music. Tonight, during the tour of the school, I had to visit the music rooms and take that walk up the ramp to the commons.

A month of memories
When I was a kid, my family traveled back and forth from Manassas to Richmond at least once a month. Allen and I often played games during the trip to pass the time in the car. Our favorite games included competing to see who could find the most out-of-state tags and the alphabet game. Mom used to trick us into playing Quiet as a Mouse - seeing who could remain silent the longest. Years later, with a sly smile, she acknowledges I would hardly stop talking so she had to come up with some type of plan for a few moments of peace. I am sure my incessant talking drove both of my parents crazy! But, I love thinking back to those fun road trips. We would often travel the "hilly road" home. My stomach would fill with butterflies as we swooped around a turn and soared over a hill in the next moment. Talk about a homemade rollercoaster! As the fall season approaches and we begin to count our blessings during this month of thankfulness, I am thankful for my memories and how they have molded my life. Each day this month I plan to focus on a memory to share. Hope you enjoy my walk down memory lane. Happy reading!
