Favorite Season
I think I have always liked fall. There are good things about the other seasons, but fall has the most enjoyable things for me. In the fall the weather starts to cool down. The evenings get cooler and sleep gets easier. Gardens and fruit trees are producing fresh produce. If you want a tomato or a peach you can pick one fresh to eat. The price of produce is cheaper in the fall and there is a large selection of produce available. Leaves start to change color adding much beauty to the world. I've always loved the golden color of cottonwood tree leaves against a clear blue sky.
I like fall because of the fun holidays. Columbus Day, Halloween, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving all are celebrated in the fall. School always started for me towards the end of summer and I always associated the start of school with fall.
There are good things about other seasons of the year such as beautiful sparkly snow, springtime blossoms and summer vacations. Adding what you like about the seasons of the year and your experiences during each season can add a lot to your story.

What Were Your Favorite Clothes to Wear?
Here's another question for your story:
What were your favorite clothes to wear? What did you enjoy wearing? What were you wearing when you received compliments on how you looked? What clothes did you hate to wear?
What kind of clothes did you like to wear when you were growing up? As a boy did you wear jeans and a t-shirt or overalls or shorts? What did you like to wear best and why? As a girl did you have to wear dresses or did you never put on a dress? Did you like wearing dresses or did you always want to wear pants?
Throughout my school years dresses were the required attire for girls. We only got to wear pants or jeans for special days. The first time I wore pants was when our family went to an amusement park. My mother wore dresses all of the time and I never remember seeing her in pants, but I do have a photo of her wearing slacks under a dress when she was riding a horse. My father liked to wear overalls when he was working. He would wear long-sleeved cotton shirts in the summer and long-sleeved flannel shirts in the winter. When my dad dressed up to go to town, he would wear slacks with a button-up shirt. For church, he would wear a suit, shirt, and tie.
The most special piece of clothing that I remember was a prom dress that my mother sewed for my Junior Prom. She had been in the hospital and had come home just a short while before my prom. Although she still didn't feel well, she managed to sew me a dress with a lace overlay. It was simple, but it was beautiful. My mother died just a short while after my prom. I have hung onto and cherished that dress because it meant so much to me that my mother had made it for me.
Write about your favorite clothing. Why did you like it? Did it have any special stories behind it? Writing about the clothing you wore adds a lot to your story.

Who Was a Favorite Teacher in Elementary School?
Here is another question for writing your story:
Who was a favorite teacher in elementary school?
I think my third grade teacher was my favorite teacher from elementary school. I remember her as being kind and gentle. She taught third, fourth and fifth grade. Her husband was the principal of the school and he taught sixth, seventh and eighth grade. I only had her for third grade since our school district changed the way the schools were the summer after I finished third grade. The four room school house in our town was closed, and we were bused to the town five miles away when I started fourth grade. She and her husband were friends of my parents. I remember her giving me two store bought dresses that her daughters had outgrown. My mother sewed all of my clothes, so they were the first store bought dresses that I owned.
