Two Inspirations

There are two simple inspirations for this blog:

1. I am currently reading the book, "She Got Up Off The Couch". The book is a biography; the woman writing tells stories about her life as a young girl. Each chapter is a different memory from her life. I have loved the book and am excited to record my own childhood memories.
   
2. The other inspiration for this blog happened during the Fourth of July weekend. I was with my husband and his family for the weekend. My husband, three of his siblings, and I, all decided to go to the fireworks show on the river. It was exciting to get there early and wait for the fireworks to begin; there were tons of people crowding the bank. Before the fireworks began, the four siblings (my husband included) began to reminisce about the fun things they did as kids. Many specific memories came up and they chatted all the way through the fireworks show. It was a great insight into their lives and I really enjoyed the night.
   

So, there is the background behind the blog. I just want to preserve the memories.
