Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Definitely glad the weekend is here. It has been a long week. Those are some good links as usual. I can't wait to see the ATM security one because I do some things already and I want to see if I'm right.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a long, gross week. We should do something fun to flush this week down the twa-let.
DeleteThis weekend will be the usual - grading and cleaning. Blech.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Take an hour or two to do something fun!
DeleteDriving back home from grandma's house on Sunday. It will be a 13 hour drive, but the time with her is always worth it.
ReplyDeleteLong drive but you're right, worth it.
DeleteRecovering from the gazillion tornadoes that ripped through here. What a night!! 100 year old trees lifted straight up out of the ground, roots and all. A restaurant got obliterated, but the people got to the basement and only had minor injuries. The sheriff lost his house, too. The Red Cross is out in the towns that got hit the worst and they are checking credentials and won't let anyone through who doesn't live there. At one point there were 4 funnel clouds in the sky dancing together as they touched down. It was freaky! One of my dogs is just a wreck with rain and wind, so he's been a mess for two days. We had a thunder-boomer so loud that it shook all the houses on our block so hard that everyone's car alarms went off in the garages. What a night. Aside from a dentist appt tomorrow and planning my food for next week, I'm not doing squat!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if that was near you or not. I'm glad you're okay and have said prayers for those affected. That had to be so scary! Relax this weekend and give that pup a relaxing massage to calm his nerves! ;-)
Deletedalbador1 we must live close to each other...
DeleteI can't believe the devastation that went through this area last night. So sad. :(
We were running errands when the EAS went off. We pulled into Lowe's and got out of the car to see the funnel off in the distance. We had to stay in the break room of Lowe's to wait it out. Our daughter was in the basement of a Starbucks. When the thunder boomed so loud that it shook that huge building that Lowe's is...it made us realize just how small we truly are on this big planet. Scary night. I'm glad to hear you are okay dalbador1. My prayers are with all those who lost so much.
Not doing much this weekend. That was enough excitement for a few days.
