--Flashback--

Last time my mom came to visit she brought a box out of my room that she wanted me to go through. There were so many things in that box. Things from my childhood that I haven't thought about in probably twenty years! {I can't believe I'm old enough to write that.} Anyways, one of the things in the box was this old S&S Fertilizer cap. I knew right away that I wanted to get a cute picture of Bryson wearing it, and ran inside and grabbed my camera. This hat reminds me of so many things.

• the old office in Lockhart
• my first dog, a wiener dog named Max, that I taught to do tricks using sour cream and onion Lay's potato chips
• my PawPaw smoking cigars and driving his old red car
• big breakfasts that my Nan would cook every morning
• running into the coffee shop and asking PawPaw for money to buy Mighty Mouse popsicles
• riding in the bucket on the front-end loader
• cruising the property in my Dad's truck as a ten year old with friends in the passenger seat (what were my parents thinking?!?!?)
• the wooden staircase where the box of hats were stored
• the tv in the other room so that my mom could listen to All My Children every day
• how hard my parents worked to provide for us
• S&S gas checks
• the crazy man that used to walk by and knock on the window
• putting quarters on the train track and checking back after they had been flattened
• sweet tea from Railroad BBQ

So crazy how one little hat can bring back so many memories. Loving this trip down memory lane...
