Challenge #14: Your earliest memory.
My earliest memory is when I was probably about 5. I have this older couple as a neighbor, and the woman has a daughter whose family used to live there with them at this time. And the daughter had a couple of sons I used to play with all of the time. These were honestly probably my most tomboyish days. I used to run around barefoot all over my yard, my driveway, and my neighbors yard. The older man used to have this machine that would grind up wood. So there would always be a huge pile of sawdust on the ground. And me and the two sons would play in it all the time. My mom HATED it. Because she'd have to end up trying to get all the wood shavings out of my hair. And this happened A LOT. I'm laughing now just thinking about it. We also used play in my sandbox. And we'd ride scooters up and down my driveway. Eventually, the family moved out of that house though. The older couple still lives there, and the family visits a few times a year but I don't ever get to see the two sons. It's crazy how at one point in your life, some people are such a priority in your life. Then before you know it, they're gone.
