The Timmy Post

 It all happened 15 months ago. My mom, eldest sister, and I went on a road trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada...

One day while on our adventures we came across a little coffee shop called Tim Hortons. We thought we'd give it a try... and boy, am I glad we did. The iced coffee was phenomenal! We took our Timmy's and adventuring we went. We explored the beaches, the roads, the lighthouses all with our delicious coffee in hand. By this point we were all hooked and we took every opportunity to get some Tim Hortons on the rest of our trip, trying out some other drinks from them. Our trip ended all too soon and so did our time with Timmy. You see these coffee shops aren't in everywhere, only certain places. 

Today I sit here writing with Timmy's in hand. I'm on my way to my hometown in Colorado for the first time in almost 9 years and picked up some Tim Hortons on the way. Only this time it's more special to me for reasons other than the tastiness. Now as I sip, I recall sweet memories with my mom and sister on the Island. Times we had to laugh, adventure, and rant about Tim Hortons. And I'm sure the next trip I take and stop at Tim Hortons on, I'll not only remember the Prince Edward Island trip, but also the Colorado trip I took.

 It's good to have traditions- to have things in our life that trigger memories and take us back to sweet times of the past. I'm thankful for memories, after all no one can take those away from you. What's something that triggers you to remember back?
