Memoir Writing Prompt: What memories does Super Bowl hold for you?

Super Bowl LII has come and gone. And what a game it was! Even I was cheering for the Eagles. As I was growing up, football was not an item in our home. When I reached high school, football became a social event. My parents left me off at the school with $1.00 and a […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: What mistake did you make in life and what lesson did you learn?

“To err is human; to forgive divine” was first quoted by the famous poet, Alexander Pope (1688-1744). Today, let’s consider only the first independent clause “to err is human.” We’ll tackle the last part another day. When I asked my 96-year-old mother what she would do differently if she had the opportunity to live life […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: What Material Item do You Hold Dear as a Family Treasure?

In two months, Mom will be 97 years old. In 1928, her third grade teacher gave her this glass basket vase. Throughout my growing up, the vase held pansies, daisies, violets, and dandelions on a regular basis. When Mom sold our Pennsylvania farm, the vase was one thing Mom could not sell at the estate […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: What was Your Go-To Breakfast as a Child?

Today is San Antonio’s Cowboy Breakfast, the world’s largest breakfast, serving tacos with all the trimmings, and it’s all free to the public. This event kicks off the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo that will run for three weeks.  It makes me think back to my breakfasts in the 50s and 60s. Mom believed […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: What’s Special about Your Generation?

This is a longer post today because I wanted to share “Our Special Group” with you that my cousin passed on to me via facebook. I googled it and the original author is unknown; that’s a shame, because it’s a well-written listing of legacy. The Silent Generation was born in the 1930s and 40s. I […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: How did you Experience Warmth When You were Young

In the last couple of weeks, Texas has experienced unusual cold. Temperatures plunged below the freezing mark, all the way to 26 degrees on a couple mornings. My husband made a blazing fire in the fireplace each night that made me very happy. However, the Texas cold was nothing like the cold winters we had […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: “Money Makes the World Go Round”

“Money Makes the World Go Round” was first used in the play Cabaret in 1966. Even though as a young child I thought money was pretty important, I never thought it made the “world go round.” What I did know was that with one nickel, I could buy a Sugar Daddy sucker from Peake’s gas […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: What Happens at the Threat of Bad Weather?

Empty Shelves

Growing up in northern Pennsylvania, it was common sense that the snow had to be hip-deep before they closed the schools. School bus drivers put chains on their tires; my siblings and I rode sleds to the bottom of the hill and waited for the bus in a tiny, freezing shanty. Sometimes when it started […]

Memoir Writing Prompt: Where were You on that Fateful Day?

April 4, 1968: I was a second-semester freshman at Mansfield State College when I heard the news of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Friends and family were in disbelief again as they had been in 1963 at JFK’s assassination and would be again just two months later when Bobby Kennedy was killed. Even though […]
