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.

No plans yet but I do want to do something different. Not sure what different is yet though. Should involve leaf peeping if possible because I think we're nearing the end of the spectacular colors. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteI read that same article about foods tasting different years ago I also read another one that had 10-15 foods from the 80s that have changed, one of which is McDonald's fries (they used to be made with beef tallow when they were are the height of yumminess, but had to stop using due to vegetarian protests).
ReplyDeleteHad an appt this morning that is done, now it's grocery shopping if I can pull the hubs away from the window watching the deck guys. Then I must do laundry that I've neglected all week. I ordered a light fixture from Etsy so need to start clearing out space below to put it up above. LOL Then the rest of the weekend is work..boo hiss.
Have a super leaf-colored weekend!
