Changing Plans
Playing cards clamped in the spokes of my Bicycle tires
The bump in the side walk
My mothers hands
Buttons
Searching for the perfect 'ghost writer' pen
Hiding under the deck
The lake
Running at a perfect pace
Christmas Records
Slow motion memories
16-bit color dreams
Spying on my family
Collection pieces, of anything
Idea journals
The way I wrote in 7th grade
Smells that never fade
An extremely small chair
Large buckets of water in the summer time
Pretending
The river bank
The way we forget to notice when the last leaf has fallen, or when the first one grows back
Highway 22
Swimming in my overalls
Gingerbread House Bacon Cheeseburgers
First love arguments
5th grade criminal records
The way it will feel to kiss him again
Forgetting everything but the moment you are in at a good concert
Wine in the park
When the hall is dark, but there is a candle flickering in the bathroom
The perfect tree house
The Saturday mornings that were just for us
Naps in the shade
Hammocks
Portland
Realizing potential and doing something with it 
The kitchen towels my grandma uses for aprons
Dresses and tights
Running on the counter tops
Scratchy beards
Sunlight hitting your eyes at the beach
Sitting outside to eat
Moving the living room outside
Wrap around porches
When nothing matches
Clip art my mom used in my daily notes growing up
The sound of a clicking keyboard
When you know Deja Vu is real, the prediction doesn't matter anymore
Drawing for the school calendar
Spelling my name wrong
Taking something apart to put it back together
Mrs. Powers freckles
My sisters office supplies
Painting the kitchen
Dad's sandwiches
Side braids
