Seven Wonders of My Childhood World

The list of wonders of the World, both natural and man-made, changes with time and technology. There are seven wonders of the ancient world, and there are even organizations promoting new wonders of the world. It's all really fascinating, to varying degrees, with virtually everyone.

In fact, I bet if we were to think really, really hard.....if we were to challenge our own individual memory banks.....if we were to go back in time to our individual childhoods.....we'd ALL remember things that were wondrous to us, things that had special meaning, things that - to others - might mean absolutely nothing. But, because we experienced them, because we lived them, they hold a special place in our hearts, in our lives, in our psyches, maybe even in our loves.

Such are the Seven Wonders of My Childhood World, and I'm talking about early childhood all the way into my twenties.

This post is a list, nothing more. We all have our own lists. The one that follows is mine. Please consider listing your own in the comments that follow. Items on these lists DO mean something. They DO represent special places in our hearts. They DO go beyond the ordinary.

Seven Wonders of My Childhood World:

The Sandhills
Eisenglass Hill
River Forests
The Old Town Water Tower
River Crossings
Cave above the Cannonball River
The "Old Garden"

I can think of sooooo many more, but these are the ones that really jump out at me in my memories. They are all associated, somehow, with My Town.

Here are some "honorable mentions":

Paved Streets
Heart Butte
Coffin Buttes
Lake Tschida
Cannonball River
Odessa
Main Street

In posts to follow, each of these "Wonders" will get more attention to detail. For right now, this can be considered a "teaser" to get your own minds going - to get you thinking about the wonders of Your Town, your childhood.

Have fun!
