Dear JJ: Hello! Please, pardon my inquiry, but... Is this relating to life in the US only?

No ma'am. Its YOUR favorite memory. At least that is the way I understand it. Let me run it by Dots before I give the affirmative, k? But I'm 99.9% sure it is ANY memory of that time period!

Songbird, Dots says its for ANY WHERE!

JJ, What about indenting? Should we indent? (If so, how much?) Or, just flush to the left margin? I didn't see that in the guidelines.

This is such a fun topic! Good choice for the contest!

That doesn't matter Louisa. We have to format it before we post it in the database anyway.
