Vivid memories of vacations with family. One of my most vivid memories as a child is going to Vermont to visit my step dads family for Christmas. Growing up in the city and with no snow we had a very different view of life then Vermont in a small town without even a stop light at the time. One of my favorite things to do was sled down the hill behind gram's house. We would start at the top and go forever down that hill. The hardest part was walking back up the hill through the snow. But oh the fun we all had. Then we would come back inside for something hot to drink. Those are the types of memories I want for my children, the joy and fun of being a carefree child.
Other vivid memories. To this day 29 years later I still remember getting baptized by Pastor Sharp the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms is still one of my favorite hymns. Every time I hear it, I think of my baptism. God is faithful and is always there for me.

I just stopped by from The Gypsy Mama. Such wonderful memories! I have great memories of sledding and hot chocolate, too. Beautiful.
I had to come visit your Five Minutes because we had the same title :)
it sounds like you have such wonderful memories of your grandparents! and, I also remember my baptism - although not as vivid as I would like to :)
Great post!
