Earliest Memory

I have put this challenge off because I have so little memory of my childhood. What I do have is very spotty, and often remembered only because there are pictures or evidence to prove it. For instance, I know I went to Kindergarten, and I know the name of the school was Magee, but I have absolutely no memory of ever being there. I have a few memories of grade school, but not much. I also remember my first childhood best friend, Peggy Sue Murr. I don't remember my brothers being born or remember them as babies. I do know that I went and spent some time with my grandma and grandpa in Colorado when it was time for the oldest of the two to be born. I have pictures of that, but the only thing I really remember is sitting on the front porch waiting for my grandpa to come home from work. Her was a train engineer and would come home in his overalls with a small bag of Planters Peanuts in one of his pockets for me, so I guess that's my earliest memory involving someone else. I had thought it was going to be playing in the rain with my brothers, but that would have been later. By the way, to explain, we grew up in Southern California so when it rained, it wasn't necessarily cold outside. My brothers and I were allowed to go out and play in it and get absolutely soaked. We loved it. What a silly thing to remember.
