365 Short Memories 
Funny reading your stories…we share many of the same memories. You have a much better way of writing about them tho. LOL. xxxcoralxxx
I’m please you can relate to them Coral. This particular one is one of my most vivid memories and it still gives me a chill thinking about.
You know a lot (not all) of this material we would sit around a dinner table or a BBQ table having a few drinks – I just thought it would be good to write them down so they don’t completely evaporate.
It is really pleasing to know that a few others find them worth reading.
thanks Coral.
