My memory.........or, not
What is wong with me and my memory? I'm not talking alzheimers here, I'm just sayin... I don't know if it is 'blocked out', 'blacked out', or 'traumatized'......but, I have a serious problem with remembering certain events, or, remembering even things 'minute'. I just posted a memory (short) about a fella named Rastus. My sister Barbara commented with her memory of him.......(in length)...I do not remember anything of which she speaks. And, so it goes. My daughter, Vicki, can recite verbatim 'all that has happened in her life'.....from 'the first grade'. This may be a slight exaggeration....., but, not far off. I feel like a failure when I don't remember all she remembers. She can 'connect' with events when she was 12, or when she was in the second grade......I can not do it with her, or myself..........so, I'm just wierd!

Your memory is just as sharp as mine and another thing ... your memory is just as good as mine. We were just sisters who did not always live together. We were not joined at the hip, so it is natural that we don't share every memory. We both remember Rastus. That's a good memory about a nice man in Reliance. Here's one you will remember. You are "Sissy". I started being "Sissy B", but Pegge wouldn't play along because she didn't want to be "sissy pee". We're just getting older....
