Favorites

For some reason I started thinking lately about some of my favorite products.

For example - I go to Aldi's specifically to get canned german potato salad. Anything else I pick up there is by chance, but gotta have that german potato salad.

Same thing goes for HyVee. Now I do most of my grocery shopping there, but never leave the store without Splenda coffee flavoring - comes in mocha or french vanilla. Yum! It's made me a coffee lover!

On general food items (sugar, flour, etc.) I'm not too particular, but if it's salad dressing it has to be Kraft Miracle Whip. I've tried generic brands and they are so bad I can't begin to know how to spell the word.

Favorite stores to shop for clothes - BonWorth (for those who like elastic waist bands) and C. H. Banks or is it Christopher Banks - whatever is right across the way at the Mall.

Who's your favorite artist, favorite restaurant, favorite whatever?

So, everyone, tell me your favorites. I want to hear your favorites. Maybe they'll be added to my list.

Little Girl in the Attic

Sometime between 1961 and 1967 my sister-in-law, who lived across the street from my father, asked him if he might have a certain size picture frame she could have.

Dad went up to the attic and found exactly what she was looking for. She took the frame, removed the picture, and used the frame for something else.

Years later my aunt gave my sister a small picture of a little girl who she said was our mother when she was about 2 years old.

Sometime later my sister was showing this little picture to my sister-in-law (are you following all of these relatives?) and my sister-in-law said - "I have that little girl in my attic".

So, now I have inherited this picture. A new liner is being added to the old frame, and I'll share it when it is finished.
