Oooh, I'm not very good at this. I don't always have the best memory (which is both a blessing and a curse).

Okay, what springs to mind for me is building a rabbit trap at my Vavo's house (oh my Vavo--talk about "patience of a saint!" I love him!!). Having gotten the idea from a cartoon, I thought I'd prop up a box with a stick attached to a string, put a carrot under it, and simply pull the string when the rabbit went under the box to eat the carrot! I remember spending hours outside "de baixo da vinha" (under the grapevine) hanging out with my Vavo, sitting at the picnic table, smelling the grapes and the grass, sitting quietly, talking . . . and waiting for that rabbit. :)
