I remember

When it was not legal to drive and talk on the cellphone.
Chicago.
Oh, freedom.
Concerts regularly by Get with God records and publishing.
R.C. Cola, my favorite!
Hours and hours and hours and hours at the beach.
Going from church, to church, to sing, from church, to church, and to infinity and beyond!
Taking flowers on Sundays to all the wonderful women in my life.
$ when the check finally went through.
Looking for parking spaces.
Blockbuster Video.
Being the driver while everybody is sleeping!
Food courts.
KFC, five wings, original recipe.
Kenya.
L.A. to San Diego, and then San Diego to L.A. Thank you, Greyhound!
N.C.
Sacred friendships.
Choir rehearsals.
Boundless liberty.
Spreading my wings.
Singing for sweet potato pie, a poundcake made from scratch.
Millions and millions of church hugs each Sunday.
99 cent Chinese food.
$ when I had to take the check back for cash payment.
Buying every pair of shoe that called my name until I was broke.
Requesting to sing your mother's favorite song.
Second row in the movies at the mall, with homecooked food! LOL
Penasacola.
Looking for the stairs in the mall when the escalator was broken.
The best weekly road trips ever, really.
Just getting up and... going.
