I really feel for those of you who had terrible childhoods. I had some pretty bad spots, but nothing that bad. I hope you can recover, and if you need help, don't be ashamed to see a counselor.
First, I'm 62.
The things I remember the best are the apple pies my mother made from the apples on our tree, and the grape jelly she made from our grape vines. She canned vegetables from our garden too, and we had a huge garden. My father loved it, and it was his territory. I remember one Saturday morning my mom called me to the kitchen window. I looked out and there was my father squat-walking down the rows, pulling out weeds and tossing them behind him. And behind him was a partridge and her six babies, eating the weeds. hahaha He knew they were there... he'd look in our direction and wink now and then.
I remember going to the movies to watch the Saturday afternoon double feature, usually a western and something else, maybe a science fiction movie. There were the serials too, half an hour of adventure with a cliff hanger at the end and you had to wait a whole week for the next part. And there was always at least one cartoon.
My most peaceful times were when I put a rope on a metal folding chair, climbed up a tall tree and pulled the chair up. I set up the chair between two branches so I had a secure seat, took out a book from my jeans, and sat up there swaying in the breeze, reading. Ah, those were the days.

My grandma and grandpa taught me how to can fruits, vegies and meats. My grandma taught me how to cook as well as my mom. I bake from scratch whenever possible. I got the pie dough down perfect and can't keep any pies around. We have had huge and nice gardens in the past. Next year I am hoping to have one again. We also have an orchid and wild berries throughout the property. Only thing I miss are the farm animals.
