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...
Fall Colors - Check.
ReplyDeleteCountry Drive - Check.
Halloween Candy - Check.
I'd say that was a good weekend and I know we accomplished all my goals for the weekend. Could use another day off though.
Going to school the day after Halloween is always fun, and it's going to be even better since it's a Monday. Ugh. Took kids to a school event Friday, caught up on housework and grading Saturday, lounged all day Sunday. Nothing exciting, but I'm pretty ok with that.
ReplyDeleteLovely weekend views! I think Minnesota is now past peak, with most trees half to 100% bare. It's finally been cooler and less humid during my running workouts!
ReplyDeletePretty quiet weekend. Just did usual house stuff and worked. I laughed yesterday as I was breaking down huge boxes from Sam's and Walmart in the garage, with just how much I was enjoying sitting there with my little box cutter making the stacks nice and neat to be twined for the recycler. This is how I know I've dipped into the well of "old fogie". LOL
