What a great story. I know that certain music puts us all back in that time and place when we first heard it...I can never listen to the song " Alone again...naturally" without thinking of the day my Dad died and I pulled off to the side of the road and wept for hours. So many songs put us back in a happy or sad time or place...

But television shows bring me other memories..." I Remember Mama" coming from our first TV in the early fifties...brings me back to my old childhood home...with the fireplace ablaze and our steaming cups of cocoa. I had all of my kids in the late sixties...and my memory of television at that time is watching test patterns as I walked any one of our munchkins to sleep.(I missed the entire Vietnam war!) Archie Bunker in the seventies brings my outrageous Dad back to me as soon as I hear that theme song. Dad was one step to the right of Archie!

And "Hill Street Blues"? I watched every episode during the winter and all the reruns during the summer. My kids were finally sleeping in their own bed by then and went down at a reasonable time! Ahhh... the pizza man! I thought he was so cool!

Now I love it when one of my grandboys comes to visit. I have a chance to spend the day making sand castles, swinging, sliding, building with Legos and then gladly curl up to sleep with the tired little guys and fall asleep before they do.

Yesterday, after a morning swim,kick ball, two hours on the beach,and a trip to the park, my three year old said, "Nanny, it's time for you to let me to rest." We both took a nap!
