Songs Evoking Memories

Listening to music while cleaning helps the time go faster, and it saves me from a quiet house...today I was listening to Reba McEntire's My Sister, My Friend song, and boy the memories that evoked. Talking about playing with barbie dolls and makeup...yeah, Trish and I would take those barbies when we were little and had a small wading pool and throw them up in the air...most of them landed on the roof of the house. We got into Mom's makeup one time, and let me tell you, we looked like living clowns! Fights, yeah, we'd have fights. Yelling, screaming, slamming doors, trying to fix the doorknobs before Dad or Mom got home, and then we'd spend the night making up and laughing at how stupid we were to fight about whatever it was. When we got older the fights were not as often to come, but they were as mean...calling names, and sometimes saying how we wished that we werem't together. Now, I wish I could go back to those days..so much easier and simpler. My sisters and I could have the croquet course set up in the yard, or we could have records playing, singing along with them...playing Ghost in the Graveyard, (glorified hide n seek in the dark), until 3 a.m. in the backyard with the neighborhood kids. I guess you never know what kind of memories you remember until you hear a certain song.
