What are your memories about the house where you grew up?

Interpret that question any way you like. Write as long or short as you like. Feel free to post photos to illustrate the story.

Just a couple of rules:

1. Make our lives easier, please! Post your story as a response to this thread so we can keep track of the stories in each challenge.

2. Challenge #1 begins today, Oct 2nd and ends at 11:59 pm CT on Oct 6th.

Thanks. And enjoy!
