I can remember times in my past, things that are still there in my memory. Like Wolf River Apples at Aunt Mamies... or stalking brook trout on Alder Creek... the smell of apple blossoms, sitting in the kitchen of my grandparents, my grandfather and his pipe. Rhubarb pie... going out with my Uncle Jimmy lobster fishing off Winter Harbor Maine in a stormy Atlantic... making sure to tend the tiller to keep the bow into the huge waves... running down the dock and diving into the lake at a friends cabin.. a winter day at Lake Tahoe... a mid-summer hike into the high sierra... standing near the Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains at over 12,000 feet... camping in Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona... taking a bike ride from San Diego to Tijuana and through Mexico and back to the San Diego... memories are there.. vivid visions of good times... I've lived... a lot.  Maybe more later...

It seems a good thing to remember back. It is an honoring of the past. I've been meaning to write down some memories of my own. Perhaps, that, too, is the honoring - allowing the time to do so, to reflect and bring forth.

When out apple shopping I always hunt for a Wolf River apple.. check the link. These apples used to be the pie apple, one apple, one pie.

As for memories, I think back and review my life on occasion, just to bring back the brilliant visions in my mind, and to remember the places and people that have crossed my path.

I will look for Wolf River apples.

It is odd to me that there are so many kinds of apples now and yet they are often squishy and without much taste.

I smile at your words - yes, "to bring back the brilliant visions in my mind and to remember the places and people that have crossed my path."

Yes!

I just need time to create more memories, that is my goal. I'm an adventurer at heart, always looking, always seeking. I have people to meet, places to go, sunsets to see, and seasons to experience.
