I'm wondering what silly wonderful memories any of you have of your early days of relationships? I know there must be many. We have one that we remember and we still re-create it, if you will. This may not be that funny but it still makes us laugh.

Pasta and hot dogs.
Every Thursday night, we'd have hot dogs and Pasta-roni shells & white cheddar pasta, sit in front of the TV and watch NBC's Thursday night line up. Then, when we got too poor to have cable, we'd do a jigsaw puzzle on thursday nights. It was our little piece of Heaven.
I think it is a wonderful gift to have pleasant memories to reflect upon. To others it is just an angel food cake, but to you and your husband it a special time in your lives when nothing was as important as you and he. Enjoy every day, it is a gift!
We also were in the military. Our special treat every payday was to buy 2 bottles of Pepsi. When it was gone it was gone but we did enjoy it while we had it. We laugh now to think of that when its nothing to buy 4-12 packs on a payday.
Thank You all for the responces. You brought a smile to my face :)
Its the little things in life that count.
Sandy: You made me smile.. my husband and I still buy a Pepsi and

We weren't military but one of our first Christmas's together, we agreed upon only "comfort or necessary" gifts. I am at failure to remember what I gave my dear hubby, but clearly remember recieving Lipton tea bags and oil filters(for my car).
We too were military...only our monthly income (the Army paid once a month then) was $168.00. Talk about poor. We bought macaroni & spaghetti in 20 lb boxes at the commissary. As much of it that we ate at the time, we still love spaghetti. The on-base movie was .25/person...we could only go if we got a ride (we lived off-base), popcorn was a dime.....so a night out at the movies was .60. They were good days.
Isn't it funny how food memories stay with us? Our funny memory is how we didn't have "round steak" to make a sandwich to take to work. So we mashed pinto beans with a little mustard, on white bread.Now when I make a pot of beans the old fashioned way, I make us a bean sandwich, just to remind us how fortunate we are now.
The first year we were married [and I was a very young bride that was into "healthy" eating] I skinned the turkey before cooking it. I must have read a book that said chicken skins were fatty and thought that chickens and turkeys are both birds so I carefully cut the skin off the thawed turkey. Bless my husband's heart for eating that turkey that year. It was pretty bad but he was gracious.
Before my husband and I got married (57 years ago), we were sitting on a bench at a park in St. Petersburg, Florida, smooching (as we called it in those days!) when all of a sudden we heard voices (two women) and lo and behold one of them was taking a leak behind a tree that was close to where we were sitting! Neither of the two women saw us sitting there. It was all my husband and I could do to keep from laughing!
i remember when my husband and i were first living together and as money was tight sometimes we would scrape together any loose change (found in pockets or behind the couch cushion) and run up to the local milkbar to buy mixed lollies. We really were just kids now that i think of it!
Silly Wonderful Memories are the only thing we get to leave this earth with, As I 've said before,"I'm loading up on them". I tend to be sentimental over my family possessions eventhough I can't take these things with me when I die. I've done an about face since I came to this conclusion, and thus I'm loading up on my silly wonderful memories. As they say When someone you love dies that memory becomes a treasure. Amen to that So heres a toast to those silly wonderful memories. Cheers! Annmarie
