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...
Moose knuckle Lmao! Who would notice that, You! Can't wait to see the reveal. Had a great weekend with beach time yardwork and steaks on the Barbie.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantabulous day!
You don't realize how quickly the stores get rid of patio stuff after July 4th until you're trying to get some of that stuff after July 4th. It's like as soon as July 4th is over - boom! Back to school time! Everyone have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI still get tense when I walk into stores during July and see all the summer stuff clearanced and back-to-school stuff already coming out. Made me sick as a kid and makes me sick now for kids!
ReplyDeleteWeekend was good. Got my hair done Saturday morning, took the dogs out for some walks and rides, and worked on laundry. Took plenty of hard naps, so there was a lot of sleeping going on. LOL Did a little online shopping in there too. Just need to get through today with the weather and cooler temps are due staring tomorrow. We had a tick in our bathroom sink, so they are out and about with all the dewy humidity. Ack!!!
I hate seeing the back to school stuff in July. Almost as much as I hate that WalMart replaced their Halloween stuff with Christmas stuff the weekend before Halloween last year. C'mon people, let us enjoy one thing at a time. I can't believe I have less than a month left of summer break. How did that happen? Trying to find patio stuff after July 4th must be challenging, I don't envy you.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was pretty boring, but I was recovering from vacation. My son, my parents, and I all went to Yellowstone. Long road trip, long days with lots of time in the car and lots of walking. That place is stinkin' huge! It was a really great trip, but I needed a vacation from my vacation when I got back.
