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...
I do enjoy summer days that aren't blast furnace hot. Like to go paddling when we can as long as it's not too hot out.
ReplyDeleteBoy, there's something we need to get back into if the inflatables aren't at their burst point. LOL
DeleteI enjoy sitting on the deck under the tree with a good breeze. Early morning walks at the park are very peaceful, too, before it gets too hot and busy. I also like going to the local minor league baseball games in town, but we haven't been able to do that the past few years. It's still something I enjoy and hope to get back to one day. One of the things that really makes me happy is to sit on my front porch when it's that summer rain and the smell is so tied to summertime.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds heavenly, especially the rain. Don't know the last time we had actual rain here.
DeleteI can only hope for 83! Our forecast for this week is a high of 64 and a low of 44! That's living on an island on the east coast of Canada for you! But we are getting the pool ready, fingers crossed it gets a little warmer soon!
ReplyDeleteI'll trade ya, those are my spirit temps! LOL How are you guys doing with the wildfires? Everyone okay?
DeleteHaha I could use it a little warmer! We're good in Newfoundland so far but we had a dry winter with not much snow so there is concern about wildfires later in the season. Smoke from Quebec is expected to head our way over the weekend though.
