Watching the 1996 Olympic Games - especially the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team. We were at our lakehouse in Michigan for a few months, the corduroy couch was still there, Kelsey was deeply into gymnastics and practicing on a foam beam laid out on the ground, and we watched Kerry Strug vault.
Getting up early in the morning (waiting for the clock to read 6am) before heading to the game room to start playing Super Nintendo (Super Mario Brothers). Lots of memories in the game room, I believe the first one being Birgit playing like an 8-bit game of Jeopardy on a Gateway computer at night. Other games included: Mario Teaches Typing, Mixed-Up Mother Goose, Storybook Weaver, Richard Scary's Busy Town, Math Blasters, Ultimate Domain, Myst, the Neverhood (although I think that one began at the new/current house).
Not feeling well on my birthday, and my mom still making my favorite spaghetti and meatballs with spicy pepper sauce. We all went into my bedroom to eat it (this was at the old house).
I remember beginning to see a witch's face on my bedroom wall, right by my bed next to the closet. At first, I would see it at night, but then it started becoming visible in daytime, too. I never went to touch it, but I remember it looking like a ba relief, coming off of the wall three dimensionally.
Looking out of Emily and Kelsey's bedroom window to the backyard.
Grilling and sitting out on our patio covered in green turf.
