We went to see my great grandma... 9 was probably 10..... she was scandalized that a hamburger cost 25 cents

I remember when I complained that candy bars went up to 25 cents. My grandpa told me that a full size Hershey's Chocolate Bar was 5 cents when he was a boy.

That’s why I used to like Charleston Chew and Marathon bars when I was a kid. More candy bar for your junk food dollar. (I think they were a quarter.)

I regret not taking the time to go to CoOp to pick up some chocolate bars to bring home from Geneva a week ago.

 

[Wonderer67]

Gnight all!

Time for bed.

I love Charleston chews

If you throw them in a freezer for a bit you can make them last longer and possibly pull out a filling.... I was gonna say snap in pieces and suck on them but we know who we are talking to

....oh wait I said it......hahahahaha

My BFF loved Jolly Ranchers*. Drove her parents crazy.
She spent more time at the orthodontist's office than school for a couple years. Always pulling sections of her braces off.

ETA: For anyone not familiar with American candies or sweets in general... Jolly Ranchers are hard candies. I think there are new variations now??

Good morning early folk. Although up at 4 am to take care of my dog who needs his meds, I needed coffee first. So I could have caught Lili.

My hard work to get 7 hours or more of continuous sleep is out the window with the dog and his meds schedule. I am now on a course of 6 core hours with naps during the day. Not ideal until I talk to the Vet.

Your pup is a lucky dog! for both of you!

 

[Lilianna23]

It was a process, bit not too bad. Get that passport renewed!!! Greylag is gonna be soooooo surprised!

Do you think we should show up unannounced?

 

[Lilianna23]

Up, kinda running, not caught up. Fixin'ta pack it and load it to hit the road. There's fuel in the truck. Kitten is in the dark, but that won't last long.


I made extra coffee for drivin'.


Hasta esta tarde . . . .

You got back without incident?

 

[Lilianna23]

I think we become acclimated to the climate we live in after time. I used to laugh at my daughter when she would come back to PA and say how cold it was. She lived down here for years. Now I find myself feeling the cold temps that up north I would have thought as not so bad. Humidity level has an effect too. I pulled out boxes with my lined jeans, turtlenecks and fleece line shirts and jackets.

You're right. I don't do heat or humidity well. We have juuuust the right amount of humidity here for me. I have noticed the summers being much warmer, tho, with increased drought levels.

 

[Lilianna23]

I guess only 1 dies.... but a whole bunch sick...... it was hell

I bet it was. I can imagine your ER was overrun.

 

[Lilianna23]

I did too..... hahahahaha

BuT...did you zoom in??????

Night night

 

[Lilianna23]

That sound delish!!!

It is! And so easy to make! This is the recipe I use:
https://www.wellplated.com/cherry-pie-filling-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-33849

I adapt it a bit for my tastes. Generally, I use about half the amount of honey as I use sweet Washington Bings. And, I add more almond extract because I like it.

 

[Missk_2022]

Do you think we should show up unannounced?

Yep....SURPRISE...

 

[Lilianna23]

So glad you’re feeling better Lil.

Sounds like you have a nice day planned!

Thank you, W!

 

[Missk_2022]

Maaaaaaybe!

I did..... hahahaha

 

[Lilianna23]

I remember those days. The worst cold I was in was in Denver CO at Lowry AFB going to tech school. The place ran 24 7 and we had to march to school. I don't know the acutal temps anymore but some guys got frost bite and after that we could just walk to classes.

My dad was stationed at Lowry!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good lord! I’m all caught up.

Let the days mayhem commence. We are almost out of bigger quality hardwood that I sell at our woodstand, so today I’m gonna buck (round) a bunch of dead ash trees, load em on my trailer and bring em down to the farm buildings to be split.

It’s gonna be much warmer.

I have five cords of silver maple which isn’t as good firewood as oak, ash, other types of maple.

A few people told me no one would know the difference, I could just sell silver maple since I have so much of it at the same price.

But I would know. And I won’t sell an inferior product.

And I need to split a bunch of kindling, since we’re almost out of that too.

You're one of the good guys, W!

Anything by M_storyman_x is good imo but specifically High School Dates (misleading title as are much of his) is the story of high school sweethearts and their trials through life as adults, lovers, and soulmates. If your interested, Eves_Garden writes and performs several audio novels (truck driving days) that are just splendid. Currently waiting on the last 3 chapters of Noah and Kate to drop.

Thanks! I bookmarked your post!
