Past Times

My memory is not very good. I can not really remember much when it comes to my past time. I have thought long ana hard and one memory seems to keep popping up. It seems like a pointless memory with no meaning to it. It was not a special day or anything just a memeory that I seem to remember. It was a happy pastime when I was a yuong child.

            I dont know hold I was but I would estimate around five or six. I was in the backyard at my old house I lived in. it was in Egg Harbor Township. My whole family was outside. Along with my family were my neighbors Ellie and Florence. They were all just hanging outside around the patio while I was playing with the dog. My sister was in the sandbox we owned playing with her toys. I distinctively remember the weather being beautiful and sunny. It was a nice spring day around mid day. I would say it was noon. I was just enjoying myself, exploring nature and chasing the dog around the yard. I think this memory keeps coming up because it gives me happiness. It brings back all my happy past times. I loved my dog. His name was bandit. He was a black pitbull and was the best dog a kid could have.

            Besides my memory sparking thoughts of my dog bandit it reminded me of how anxious I was as a child. I was always exploring nature. It is crazy how simple times were back then. I was so carefree and stress free. It makes me want to be a little kid again. I do not want to grow up anymore.

            Along with this memory a few others seemed to spark. They were all very similar but still very random. One is a memory of a place I would always go to get ice cream as a child. I can not remember the name of the place but all I know is there is a giant statue of a raisin with arms and legs. I just know it was a very strange statue. Despite the strange statue the ice cream was amazing. It makes me wonder if that place is still in business. I would like to go back there and get some ice cream again to see if it really is as good as it is in my memories. Almost all my childhood memories are from when I used to live in Egg Harbor Township. Another memory I can remember is when I got my head stuck in a rocking chair. This was not really one of my happier times. I had dropped a piece of candy and wanted to get it before the dog did. I was to late and bandit got it and when ii went to pull my head out from under the rocking chair I realized I was stuck. I started to yell and then my neighbor Florence came in with a chainsaw and cut the wood so I could get my head out. At first I thought she was going to cut my head off so I was yelling at the top of my lungs. I was terrified but in the end I was mainly upset because bandit had eaten my candy.

            Even though my memory is not the best I can still remember some things. They all relate to where I used to live before I moved to Bayville. Some bring me happiness, a laugh, and sometimes sadness.
