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...
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHappy to say I have no plans, those weekends are the best for me! Have a great one!
#46 eh? Wow. This year's an old geezer now for sure. But we have a holiday season to enjoy and it starts with a good house clean-up so that we can relax and enjoy it all before it passes us by again. Happy Friday everyone!
ReplyDeleteWonderful treasure of a video with your Grandma making her noodles! Love it. Can't wait to try the recipe. Have fun cleaning - that's what we are doing this weekend too. Yay.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I have planned is a lunch date with one of my mom's friends tomorrow and hoping that I don't get stuck in the rain/snow mix because it's a little over 120 miles round trip. It's hormones-on-parade week so it's best if I avoid humans this weekend. =o)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally making the pumpkin gingerbread. I'm addicted to all things ginger this year. PS I tried to post yesterday, but I guess I messed it up. If this is a duplicate, sorry :-)
