Childhood and Alfalfa

I've got two stories to share today.  First is one that oddly happened while riding the bus home from school one day and the other while attending college.

While filling out a fishing license the other day, I was talking to the guy and we got talking about nicknames and how people end up with theirs.  His name isn't really important, his nickname is what brought on this randomness of a memory.  His nickname is Nacho.  Yes like the food.  Well, suddenly this memory of a bus ride home popped into my head.  I was telling him about this ride home one day and this one kid was picking on another kid named Nacho.  He said, "that was me!" Me: "isn't that just so random a memory!"  Him: "I didn't realize you rode that bus"  Me: "Yeah I was blond back then"  :)

So random!

While making a delivery, I passed by a field of freshly cut alfalfa.  Ahhhh what a wonderful smell!!  Its a smell that I missed desperately while attending school in Susanville. 

One day, I believe it was March or April, while several of us were sitting in the cafeteria, talking and laughing and all that, I realized what time of year it was.  I spouted off with "I'm missing out the first cutting!!"  You should've been there to see the looks I got!  hahaha!!  These were all big city type kids and were looking at me like I had lost my mind!  Well growing up across the street from an alfalfa field, I didn't realize what I was missing till it wasn't there!

I'm sure you all have a memory like one of these :)
