I remember one thing that wasn't in a photo....I was sitting in my highchair & the dish had animals around it each in it's own floaty clear liquid & hot water filled the dish to keep the food warm. I even remember the smell of the baby food. I was born Feb 1953.....so I was old enough to be sitting up in a highchair.

Another memory was a little older. I was in the bath tub & my mom had left their african love bird in it's cage outside. Horrible noise. My mom went out & I remember her saying a cat knocked over the cage & managed to kill the bird. I am not sure if I actually remember the actual event or whether my mom told me about it later & I just vividly remember it.

At around 3, my great grandmother had a stroke. I remember visiting her in the sanitorium (what it was called in those days) It was on the side of a hill in So. Calif & all the beds were lined up together with windows looking out to the hills across the narrow valley. I remember how bad it smelled. Then I remember she died & I don't remember the funeral but I remember afterward playing outside her house on the parkway around a tree with other distantely related family kids I really didn't know. This happened around 3 years old.

I honestly have less memories of my life the older I got. Snapshots here & there throughout ny growing up years.
