Best memories: simplicity and getting to know myself on the inside. Raising my daughter without the "bells and whistles" of this world of ours. She is now a naturopath/herbalogist and is raising her two daughters with real appreciation of nature.
Worst: black flies and mosquitoes! I had a beekeepers hat, wore long sleeves/pants and used three different kinds of bug spray. I couldn't wait for the first frost to kill the little devils.
black flies...I HATE 'em. Worse than mosquitoes IMO.
