Another SNGF assignment from Randy Seaver of
Genea-Musing. I haven’t participated in
a long while, first being in Wales and England in August, and then when I got
back, had too much catching up to do.
Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the
Mission Impossible music, please!):
1) What is your earliest memory? How old were you, where did you live, who are the characters in your memory?
2) Tell us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook or Google+. Please leave a comment on this post with a link to your post.
Janice Sellers suggested this topic. Way to go!
My earliest memory is during Kindergarten. I have faint
memory of being sick with scarlet fever and our house being quarantined. I
remember the doctor coming to our house to check me out. I have hated tongue
depressors since, as it seemed he was trying to choke/gag me with it.
When I returned to school, I had so many cartons of milk to
drink (I guess to catch up on the time I missed). I always hated milk unless
there was chocolate syrup in it. Now I know why – I am lactose intolerant. It
used to give me a stomach ache.
Funny, I don’t remember any of my three siblings coming to
our home after me. But I gave them the childhood diseases I collected at school:
measles and chicken pox. My poor sister, Danna, was just a baby.
I have my baby book and there are entries about my illnesses!

Now, I can see scarlet fever being traumatic enough to leave a lasting memory!
