Not So Funny



I remember things. Things like products that used to available.
Like Party Dogs.
They were a cross between animal cookies and a pretzel.
They were wonderful....just a lighthearted salty-sweetness.
Then they didn't make them anymore.
I called Stouffer's to see why they quit making them.
They said it was just a joke on somebody in the company.
It was a short lived product.
Well ha ha ha.
not.

And what about Aruba Jam?  It was better than Sprite.
A little sweeter, just right.
Sigh.
I loved that pop, and they quit making it.
I think I got the last one in Texas, at an old store here in town.

Then there were those Jolly Rancher suckers in *Spanish* flavors.
I can't even remember the flavors now, but they weren't your average sucker.
They were barely sweet and had the little grainy things on them....
and a little bit of a burn.
I called Jolly Rancher.
The company said they just weren't popular enough to keep making.
I guess I didn't buy enough.
I will next time.

N'ice
It was a lip balm, chap-stix, whatever you want to call it.
It was a cool menthol flavor and went on just right.
Nice.  It's gone from any store I've ever been in for many years....
I guess I'll just use Burt's Bees.

Does anybunny remember Cinnamon Apple jelly?
NOT Apple Cinnamon..........
Smucker's made this jelly when I was a kid and it was red.
I still have an old jar it came in.
Boy! That was good jelly.
Sometimes I find it in those little tiny jars around Christmas.
But not very often.

And 4-Way Nasal Spray.
Go ahead and ha ha ha, me.
If you used it for occasional hay fever and stopped up nose,
and loved it,
and now you can't find it,
you won't laugh.
There are forums on the internet talking about 
NOT
being able to find this product anymore.
Of course, I could buy it on E-Bay for 20 times what it should cost
in a store.
Yep, I miss that product, too.

But I don't miss Hostess.
I don't normally eat packaged breakfast junk food.
I buy my donuts at a REAL store.

I feel like I must live in a cave! I don't remember most (if any) of those! Now, Hostess I know. Haven't had any for a long, l-o-n-g time, but I DO know Hostess!

You're probably better off NOT remembering things like this. It isn't much of a comfort to sit and think about fun it would be to eat a Party Dog with Aruba Jam.....

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
