I was tagged today in the 25 random things meme in Facebook. I wrote up the 25 random things and posted it and duly tagged 25 others.
One of those others worked out that I had lived in Woomera during my childhod. She suggested that I look at some of he Facebook groups for Woomera.
I did. I joined the group of people who had been to school in Woomera.
In doing some research to write an intro, I used the google map for Woomera. The emotions that it envoked were almost overwhelming. Childhood memories came flooding back.
When was the last time you visited a child hood place that had significant meaning for you?
I actually live in the house that I grew up in. My father passed away and my mother had a hard time living here, so my family and I have the great fortune to be living here.
I find little gems from my childhood at every corner, which is a great gift for me. It makes me look harder at everything, which is perhaps an even greater gift.
Incidentally, I love the "25 Things" on Facebook. I've learned some really fascinating things about people I evidently didn't know as well as I'd thought : )
