Childhood Favorites

I saw this over at Soozs’s–if you’re reading, consider yourself tagged.  Give us a list of your childhood favorites:

Favorite special treat food – Hot tea with milk and sugar and crumbled up milk crackers (another regional food, I discovered over the winter.  My mom shipped me two boxes of milk crackers as I couldn’t find them in New Mexico at all!).

Favorite real food – Spinach.  Corned beef hash a la my gramp’s recipe.

Favorite thing to wear – In middle school I had this peasant-style blouse and skirt that I adored. 

Favorite place to go – The library.  Libraries in the neighboring towns were an extra-special treat!

Favorite person – My father.  I’m a daddy’s girl through and through. 

Favorite event/occasion – My birthday!

Favorite pet – Norman.  I loved him so much I wanted to marry him.  He died when I was 12, and it was as though the world had ended.  He was the best cat evah!

Favorite thing to do – I loved to read.  I also liked to take my father’s White Owl cigar boxes, have him cut a hole in either side and create a mini movie theater.  I would tape strips of paper together to make the film, then draw on the movies.  Geez, thinking about it makes me want to make one right now!

Favorite TV show – As a little girl I was a fan of Captain Kangaroo and Romper Room.  I liked Star Trek (yes, I had a secret crush…try to guess on which character!) and later Charlie’s Angels.

Favorite book – No Flying in the House.  Little House on the Prairie.  Wrinkle in Time.
