Posted on FB's NaHaiWriMo page, August 25, 2012, in response to the prompt, summer childhood memories

We lived next door to a yacht club.  We weren't the yachting types;  we didn't own a yacht.  But they ran a sailing school each summer and my parents thought it a good idea to enroll my sister and me.  I guess the club thought it a good idea to let the neighbors join.  I spent my summers on the dock, in the water, and in small sail boats.  It was a wonderful way to grow up!

Prompt was forgotten things.  

Of course neither the child (my son--he's an adult now) nor the painted rock (a paper weight and a birthday gift) have been forgotten.  But the child is grown, and the paper weight must have been left behind sometime, for I can't find it.
