Sat down last year and typed out 30 pages of my recollections of growing up in the rural South. Farming with mules, no electricity, no in-door plumbing, etc. Written from a male, left-brained point of view. Not really sure what triggered the impulse, probably the growing sense of my own mortality (I'm 58 and both parents died during the decade of the 90's, in their mid-70's). My sisters are 2 and 4 years younger; was amazed at the difference such a short difference in age made in the things we remembered. Would be much better if it had been an on-going project through the years. Told my wife that "I wish that I had paid more attention"; just so caught up in the day-to-day living that all of a sudden you're old and you have only glimpses into your past. The minutiae are what would be most interesting and that's what is gone........
