These are wonderful. Even that sadly surprising ones. I know you are a memoirist, but I didn't know how you wrote it as opposed to arted it! I'm amazed at how your memories evoke some of the same ones for me, or analogous (blue gel writing icing! Admiring sophisticated babysitters! Saving pennies! Mysterious drawers and arranging things just so! Piggy banks [one of mine- a giant Tootsie Roll tube that was surely intended as such after the contents were as preciously devoured]). This must be what your students respond to when you teach.

heya! :) Just jotting notes... will add to this over time most likely- I just added a few more. I have a couple of similar lists...and do like to put them into or retrieve them from walking around memorypalaces of my childhood home and grandmother's house. Used to be able to embed them into certain of my artworks on Flickr ('notes' feature) and then they removed that feature/capability- which was hugely disappointing/upsetting
