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...
Another weekend that flew by, but at least all the laundry, grocery shopping, veggie cutting, etc. is done for another period of time. Next weekend is Halloween weekend. Wow, almost November!
ReplyDeleteI hope the cabin was in better shape than the house. That's actually kind of cool, gives personality to the property - but yeah, I'd be a little 80s movie slasher creeped out too.
ReplyDeleteCute puppy though.
My folks were down for the weekend and we all went to the pumpkin patch at corn maze.
OMG I'm with you - if I had known about that house and graveyard, I never would have rented. I don't know how you slept at night! Every single slasher movie is running through my mind. And did it rain while you were there? Double no-no. It was a cool and rainy weekend here in Boston, with yesterday being the nicer of the two days. Very fall-like, which I love!
ReplyDeleteThat puppy is so stinking cute!! And the Christmas bags...the plaid always makes me smile. I still have to upload my random pics, which are pics of furniture and different rooms at mom's house. LOL Lugged a huge @ss mirror up the stairs from the basement today. I'm hoping the gal at the vintage place will want it because it weighs a ton and I have no need for it.
