Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Don't you just love reminiscing about fun times in the past? While everyone was out of the house during the day, my mom and I started going through a few old things that had to be put into the attic, and I found quite the plethora of funny memorabilia.

Among the old school yearbooks, newspapers, and photos, we also found some of my earliest writing and illustrating work! It's hilarious to look back at the way I spelled certain words, and the patterns in my writing style. I found a notebook that served as a daily writing journal for first or second grade, and I ended every entry the same way, no matter the topic. It could have said, "I like going to the zoo. I really do." Or it could have said, "I love my family. I really do." Everything ended with the phrase, "I really do." Except I wasn't quite sure how to spell it, so it actually read, "I rally do."
Some of my favorite finds were books that I had created. One was called "Taylor's Picksur Book" (get it?) and featured illustrations with the caption, "Just a picksur here." I didn't get a picture of that book, but I did get a few of another book that I wrote. "The Cats" was literally stapled together like a book, and was a whopping three pages long. Complete with "THE AND," the book made me laugh with its simplicity and silly drawings.
I love looking through things from my childhood and reminiscing about the past. It makes me smile to see what I was like as a child, and I see some of the same qualities in my little sisters now.
I could waste hours looking through old things (instead of putting them away like my parents would like me to do, of course). Do you like looking through pieces of your history? I would be curious to hear what you like finding from your past... old photos? Pictures that you drew as a child? Newspaper clippings about events you took part in? Tell me about something you love to remember in the comments!
Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!
I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.
