Childhood homes

It’s hard to say why certain memories stay with you more than others. Childhood homes for instance. Remembrances of playing in the back yard or after school snacks in the kitchen. What room lay behind each of those windows. A sting from a bee by the pear tree. The special treat of watching Hee Haw on TV in the lower level rec room.

Clips from our childhoods pop into daily life unexpectedly, as if to remind us of the impacts from those early years.
