As Evie would say...

Rememberies.

Nice day again today. Sure is golfing weather. Or fishing. Or anything but workin'.

Listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about S&H green stamps. I remember mom getting those when we lived in Colorado. When she'd get a bunch of them, she'd have us kids sit around the table and lick the stamps so she could put them in the books. I don't know what she ever bought, but I remember licking alot of those stamps.

The radio folks were talking about alot of stuff from the "good ole days". I remember a brand of powder laundry soap that mom would buy and there was a towel in the box. She ended up with a pile of hand or dish towels, whatever they were. The radio folks said the detergent was Breeze. I don't recall the brand name, but I remember seeing mom pull a towel out of the box. I don't remember this, but the radio folks were talking about getting glasses out of oatmeal boxes. The glasses had Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton and other stuff on them. Guess we didn't eat the fancy oatmeal when I was a kid.

She used to have a bunch of small glasses that were used for pimento cheese spread. Mom also had several glasses that she bought full of jelly. They were pretty good dinner glasses. 'Course, you had to wash the jelly out of them first.

I remember going to the A&W rootbeer drive-in. Back in the days when A&W wasn't part of Long John Silvers. Debbie used to work at the one in Miami during the summer. I remember going there as a kid and a girl waiting on us. I wish I could recall if it was Debbie.

Hee hee. I just realized I'm doing "I remember when..." stuff. I can truly say there are some places in this state where buildings are now located and I remember when it was all a field. LOLOL. Kinda goes along with being a structural engineer and building stuff, huh?

We stopped at the grocery store as we got into town tonite on the way home from work. Debbie bought some groceries, including a watermelon. When we got home, Megan had just pulled into the driveway from working at Rib Crib. Debbie was talking to Megan as I unloaded a couple of bags. The watermelon was in one bag. I put the bags on the driveway so I could lock the car doors. I saw something moving and looked down. The watermelon was rolling down the driveway! Those things can scoot. Debbie asked, "Don't engineers know better than to put round things on a sloping surface?" Um, guess not before it happened but I know now that watermelons can roll really well.

Have a good evening.
