Reminiscing ........ (43)
Mine go back to when I was a a young teen in New York in the 70's. 
Mostly lived on 120th St and 3rd Av in Manhattan and in the Bronx, forgot the address. Way to many memories running through my head now to relate to one.

dillydally: Iv spent a lot of time with Family these past 2 weeks ,and all Iv heard is stories from when my Daddy was a boy or when I was a wee lass .My relatives think wool gathering is a sin without a tod ,so the drinks were passed freely and they stayed up till the wee hours telling us stories .So ,my question to you guys is ,whats your story ? how far back do your memories go and whats your earliest ?
I can remember some of my time as a young child in East Africa, but mainly the experience of snow the first time I saw it, at about 8 years of age, getting up and seeing it all white outside, I had no concept of snow, so ran outside in my pjs and bare feet, stopped after about 5 feet and burst out crying as my feet were so cold lol.
I love when my father and Uncle talk about their war experiences, it never fails to amaze me what incredible feats of bravery were carried out by such a vast group of people.
Great pic by the way

The earliest thing I remember was when I was little. We had the old cast iron radiators, and were working on the heating system. I knocked one over on my foot. Broke it. I was maybe two?

Not sure about it being my first, but one of the greatest was in May, 1947. Rex Mays put me on his lap and took me around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Bowe's Seal Fast Special.... I was 5 and hooked on racing for life..
That stuff ain't cheap these days..
Anyone wish to kick in 100K in sponsorship money next season??

I remember daydreaming, and carrying a crayon and a notebook Around with me. I scribbled something on the paper, andmy grandaddy said what is that, I said my book. I proceeded to read to him. Even though I could not spell, I told him a story and he looked at his wife, and said. I bet she turns out to be a writer.

My earliest time in my my life that I remember
is when I was 5 or 6 years old;I remember playing
in grass taller than I was;I never forgot the fun I
had as I ran and hid from the other kids.When I think back on that,it brings me to a realization that I'll always be
a kid at heart.

Ouch ,sounds bloody painful .Those things are heavy as I still have them In my house in London .
Does anyone remember tea cozies ? My sister was mad about the 'kettle hat' and pulled it off when my ma was boiling the kettle .The kettle tipped all over me and I got flung in a cold shower .Still have some scarring today .Whistle kettles are what I use now ,although the noise drives me potty
