- Calling seats in our 1976 Chevy Caprice Classic Estate station wagon. Just like this one, except ours was red and had a CB antenna on top. Baby Bro usually got the "way back" seat while sis and I fought over the back seat.
- Winning my first Highland Dance trophy on my birthday at the Flora MacDonald Highland Games in Red Springs, NC--wearing a Clan Donald sept tartan, (MacDonell of Glengarry) natch!
- Agog on the Rocky Mountaineer in British Columbia.
- Shagging on Myrtle Beach in college. The South Carolina state dance, not the British version.
- Family photo op at Niagara Falls, the Canadian side.
- Waking up to a Blue Ridge sunrise at Daddy's house in Highlands, NC.
- Stealing a rollaway bed in Reno with Bubbles.
- Romantic getaway in a French Quarter B&B with DH. We had a tw0-story cottage that was the converted slave quarters of a Burgundy Street house. Vacation complete with beignets, of course, and finished-with-a-hubcap burgers at the Clover Grill.
- Colonial Williamsburg, Carter's Grove, Shirley, and Berkley the summer before the American Bicentennial. And visiting Monticello, home of my favorite U.S. President.
- Real Florida--our family's farm in Levy County. Horses, pigs, chickens, cows, turkeys. Dirt, fishing, and plenty of sunshine. No heat or AC. Water fun in a #3 galvanized washtub. Horseback riding all through the hammock. Disney has nothing on our magic kingdom.

Crunch time coming. A week from tomorrow, we fly out to San Francisco for the family vacay before the RWA Conference. Cleaning and shopping abound. Until then, some pre-holiday reminiscing.
