When I was young there were certain candies my mother favored to my astonishment. Things like Canada Mints & candy corn. The grossest was circus peanuts.
Later I used to say that she picked those treats because she knew she wouldn't have to share.
My Mum has been gone 200 days.
I was online shopping for some household supplies like facecloths & a dish drying mat. As usual, suggestions were at the bottom of the screen; shampoo...dish soap.....and
That peanut brings back a LOT of memories! When I was seven, we had a dog named Dusty. He adored circus peanuts. The local brand was Goobers! Dusty loved Goobers! so much, Tina Nordweg, our babysitter, called him Goober Dog. He eventually became Goobs. Now, I am thinking of him. Thank you, Maggie!

ReplyDeleteGod bless you Maggie. I lost my mom a few years ago and there are definitely things that remind me of her around the house. I often make chicken fried steak simply because she used to make it almost every week. Well, sometimes it feels like we were made to remember. We live life, but as the years go by more and more of life feels like it's in the past.
ReplyDeleteI don't know you Maggie, but God bless you. God bless you a whole bunch!
