My most treasured memory was holding my firstborn in my arms for the very first time.

Meeting my daughter for the first time when she was 10... she had no idea who I was and she looked so much like me! We had so much fun!

Having all my boys together this weekend...could be the last time. The oldest lives in NY, the youngest will be moving to Illinois in a couple of weeks. Getting all of us together's gonna be tough for some time to come...so we're busily making memories. Time to go back inside...later, guys!

It would be hard to pick a single most treasured memory. Kinda makes me hope I live as long as my great grandmother, She had a real collection of memories.

Sharing a tent overnight along the Colorado River after hiking ten miles to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with my two kids.

Wow....do I have to narrow them down to one? So many....sitting in the big chair with my beautiful mother reading yet another book to me. Recently? The touch of a man so close, and yet so far.
But most treasured I suppose would be with my granny, eating drumsticks and ice cream on tv trays, watching Ted Mack in the big living room.

Besides the birth of my children and my grandson being the most treasured, I have WAY too many wonderful memories to list. A lot of them have been at gatherings with my friends from MD. :)

I used to love acting like a goofball for my nieces and nephews. My two year old niece even nicknamed me funny. I'd run into walls to get laughs you name it! That was until I got diagnosed with a bunch of serious back problems. Now I can barely walk much less act like a goofball.
Later

its one of my earliest memories... standing by a rocking chair, as my great grandmother peeled and cored an apple.... and helped her eat it... it wasn't very fair, my sister and I would eat the apple, while my great grandmother would eat the peel and core..... she passed away when I was 9, so I think I was 3 or 4 in the memory...

Im a geologist and often in the open. I took my wife along on trip to the Kaokoveld which is an arid region in the north west of South Africa. This particular year it received more rain than normally and there were wild flowers everywhere. Huge patches of colour as far as the eye could see - something neither of us witnessed before.
That evening I found a circle of rocks and we camped on a carpet of flowers among the rocks in the most beautiful open remote country. Earlier I noticed a small stream entering the circle of rocks and when night fell I took my wife to this stream to wash and to my amazement found several crystal clear pools at the edge of the rocks. And there we were playing naked in these beautiful pools on a bright moonlit night in a landscape of flowers in an area which would normally be a desert. We both wanted the moment to last forever.

When I was 17, my mother was bed ridden with cancer, had very little appetite and was dependent on the remaining children in the home for care. She craved fresh strawberry pie, it was summer and I recall walking downtown to a local bakery who sold delicious strawberry pies and getting my mother a pie. I rememeber how carefully I walked the 1 1/2 miles back home and how her eyes lit up when she saw her strawberry pie.
She passed away 3 weeks later..but I will never remember how I was able to put such a smile on her face in her last days. I don't look at it as a sad memory.. rather a treasured one because I was able to help make her last days better in some small way.
Memories can be wonderful.. so make the best ones you can with loved ones while they still live.

Today it is sitting under the shade tree with my Pa Pa, listening to stories. If I never get to heaven, I have already been, every summer with Grandmother and Pa Pa from the age of 5 to 16. Woods to explore, fishing whenever I wanted, a big protective German shepherd for company when my Grandparents were at work, all the black berries and ice cream I could eat and wonderful stories to listen to every night.
Tomorrow I might be thinking of something else, I've been lucky.

There are so many.........at this moment Aunt Clarabelle and Uncle Tom come to mind. They were my father's brother and sister. Uncle Tom never married so he lived w/Aunt Clarabelle and her husband Uncle Ralph. Aunt Clarabelle baked fresh bread every day. Every meal had like 10 different dishes, it seemed like she spent the majority of her time cooking. Except for when she was watching her "stories" on the television (black & white) in the afternoons. In the evenings Uncle Tom would get out his banjo or fiddle and we would sit in the kitchen and sing while he played. I am so thankful to be able to have these memories of my Aunt and Uncle. I always looked forward to the week in the summer time I could stay w/them.

Being a very little girl sitting up at my grandmothers vanity and trying on her makeup she was an avon lady at the time and would save all the little sample lipsticks and stuff for me to play with. She also would make a little pic nic lunch sandwiches and home made cucumber pickles and take me to the park to play. I miss her very much.

There are so many... I have a big family, and there are so many memories of family parties, and Christmases, and the like.
I think about the times when my two younger brothers and I all hung out with the same crowd, and did everything together. Or, playing wiffle ball in the backyard, my mom baking cookies, the ice cream man coming down the street.. they are all treasures of a time gone by..
My memories would fill a book, and then some.
