Getting to know you

Last night at Enrichment meeting (our ladies' meeting at church) we had a getting to know you night. There were items placed on a table, we had to pick an item and talk about a memory from our childhood or life that the item reminded us of. I picked a jump rope (which I knew my girls would love to use) and talked about loving to be outside as a kid, jump roping, playing hopscotch, playing tag and hide and seek. It also reminded me of a few accidents I had outside as a kid. Like when I was crawling behind my sister when she was ice skating and her blade hit me above the eye and cut my eyebrow, where I have a scar. And when I was running cross-country in 5th grade and I broke an extra bone in my foot, that it took my parents about 6 months to believe that something MIGHT be wrong and they FINALLY took me to the doctor.
It was fun to hear everyone's stories and to talk with other women after the activity. My mom and I stopped at Friendly's before going home for an evening snack. Yes, we had refreshments at the activity, but we couldn't end our night out too soon :-)
