Here Today Gone Tomorrow

LIfe was great. There was a lot of stuff that made me happy but i 'm gunna have to say that my favorite thing was the food. Mmmm. When I walked in every morning the smell of sausage, bacon and fried bread hit me like an hammer. But it was an good kind of hammer like a cloud hammer. I guess. Anyway, the chairs were gorgeous, and the tables were marble. The tables were set in rows. Each table on the outside of the row. Had an window, so you could look at the beautiful ocean, see all the shades of blues and deep purples.

During this time my brother and I were taught how to fish for Sharks and Alligator Gars. We were also taught to hunt for deer and pigs. I learned to ride horses and I was always amazed at how they were handled. I grew up as country girl, and a part of me will always be that girl because I was fearless when my father was beside me. I knew I had to be tough around him. I always knew that when my dad was taking us somewhere I had to wear jeans and a pair of boots because anything could happen on an adventure. My grandparents’ house was great too, we went on tractor rides and hayrides, we climbed trees and skinned our knees. Their house was so close to ours that sometimes my mom would take my brother and sister to their house in our

When I went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee I was with my parents, grandparents, my brother, and my cousin Savannah. I got to go to all the little shops, Dig through rocks, and I remember honking through this tunnel we drove in. I guess it was tradition. I remember going to a mini amusement park where we rode go carts. I also remember going to the Titanic museum. I remember touching the ice wall and seeing all the sunken objects. I also remember seeing the grand staircase. I remember it feeling super heavy and emotional

Once we moved farther into the country my brothers and me became older and more capable of helping my dad on the farm with chores. So it was in these early years where were learn a work ethic. With having all the cows we did my dad did need help. For me being the youngest I didn’t have to help as much as my brothers. I spent more time helping my mom around the house with things she needed help with. But my dad always made sure I got my hands dirty in the corrals, which I can see helped me with just being able to do manual labor with no problems, and also made me a very observant learner from watching my dad do things

The more I spend outside reminiscing of my past while I look at my yard, the more I continue to feel nostalgic of my past, albeit many others would probably have the same memories of their past if they reminisced as long as I have today. I feel as though life does not get better as you age, but the best moments in life are experienced when we are young as these are also the moments we remember the most of. But it does not matter how I feel, for life keeps on going despite your feelings of it; I am reminded by this when I look at the insects and bugs waddling around in the grass just as I have seen it so many years before. I see people going to work and coming home from work everyday like a computer program that has been programmed to do one thing and do it correctly for the rest of their lives; it’s similar to all life and patterns can be seen everywhere, from the colossal trees towering over me to the miniscule insects crawling around underneath

We loved being out in the country. We would go on walks in the fields to pick flowers for tea and cherries to eat, and we would also get fresh, sweet honeycombs from my Uncle 's friend that kept bees. My Uncle Rasvan loved to goof around, so one time he thought it was a good idea to try and get the honey by

Majestic springs also had a saltwater swimming pool. My family and I went to the cabins and stayed four nights. My two cousins and I went swimming for hours ,while my brother and my father played pool. My mom and aunt went out to the hot tub with our grandma most of the time. My cousin and I are gamers so we also played the arcade game machines they had upstairs.

I remember being in junior high and being a shy, awkward-aged young teenager. I remember how I would perform in my studies versus how I do now. I remember not even knowing how to throw a softball or what the difference between a republican and a democrat are.

Victor: I loved every minute of it. We had so much space to ride horses and have fiestas. Me and my brother Joseph had so many adventures with our horses in the wilderness beyond the farm.

My grandfather had a work burdenedburndoned childhood. He started helping out around the farm when he turned five, which resulted in him valuing work over everything. As a kid, he rarely

The days we were at home we would play outside or help my dad with fixing

Hard work and passion are two things that were fostered on my family's farm. Growing up, each day I would hop in my grandpa's old, red Chevy and ride down to the farm to spend the day with him. We fed the animals, scouted crops, and did other miscellaneous jobs. Working on the farm all day with my grandpa built my strong work ethic.

git beatin's and half fed... Mostly we ate pickled pork and corn bread and peas and

Some of my favorite precious moments happened in grandmas kitchen each and every time we visit. Whether it was just eating some of her delicious cookies or dancing, talking, or watching the windows. The atmosphere all around grandmas house was filled with lots of sweetness joy and peace inside and out. The smell of sweet cookies over home cooked meals covering flung over the table. Fresh cold drinks like grandma got it straight from the sky. There was lemonade, milk, and coffee smelling like she hand made them with the ripest lemons, milk straight from the cow and coffee fresh from the beans. Only grandma could make it smell like that.

Growing up as a little girl my life was ever changing. Although I don’t have many recollections of my childhood, I do
