The first post on my blog provided the explanation for the title of the blog - I'm Not Opinionated. My disclaimer was there. I wasn't sure if this was an accurate statement or not. Well, I have been reading a few of my posts and have come to the conclusion that a better title would have been I'm Not Obstinate because I obviously have some opinions! This blog serves two purposes. The first being to keep in touch with my family and friends. The second is hopefully to elicit discussion around my opinions. This is the best part of blogging! From discussion comes understanding. Let's discuss!

My favorite childhood memory is of our family vacations to Maggie Valley. Of course that was when we were still a family, and still had time to spend with everyone...
we were a large family of 7...5 kids so any vacation was an ordeal, however, my parents faithfully took us camping every year. Real camping. I don't know how excited i would be to do it now, no running water, eating off a fire, bathing in a ice cold stream and walking a mile to use the restroom at the campground, but when i was a kid it was fun, exciting and it was great quality time.
I miss the family time we used to spend together before everyone got so busy and consumed in their own lives...
When my father taught me how to ride a bike. Grandma bought a cheap bike at a yard sale. My father of couse was ticked that she bought a piece of crap knowing she had money to buy a decent one. Needless to say he ended up fixing it. He was so aggrivated when he was finished that he sat me on the bike gave me a firm push down a hill and said peddle!! HAHAHA We still laugh about that to this day. I screamed of course yet peddled my heart out! Made me feel good that he believed in me and had no doubt that I would be able to do it.
Yet now I tell him when he gets older and is in a wheelchair I'm going to do the same to him HAHAHA
Like "smeggs" one of my favorite memories is of the times spent in Maggie Valley in the summers. Of all the vacations taken until the time I graduated high school maybe 2 of them weren't to maggie valley.
of course, i couldn't narrow it down to just one so the other would have to be the summer of '82 when i was just about to turn 4 we went to Atlanta to watch the Braves play the Dodgers and I remember wearing a visor (of course my mom put it on me) that said "i hate the Dodgers" and all the people that passed me just pointed and thought it was the cutest thing.

My favorite childhood memories include travelling with my Grandparents. We started going to Lake Texoma (on the botder of Oklahoma and Texas) every summer when I was 2 or 3 years old. We would swim, boat, fish, ski (even though every summer the boat seemed to have a problem) and I would sleep in the bed above the table in their trailer...I miss those days!
