My husband, myself and our oldest (when she was a baby). Used to walk (pushing stroller) to downtown Moscow, and purchase one single scoop ice cream cone and split it between us. It was our big splurge.<BR/><BR/>I think times are better now for us!<BR/><BR/>Hey, and about the risky bowling tournaments. If you were talented enough to win money once - you were likely to do it again and again. Unlike gambling it wasn't exactly "chance" you were betting on, but your skill. . . Congrats on making your money grow!Pinehurst in my Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839389283883857130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-40320910759034643052007-11-04T20:56:00.000-08:002007-11-04T20:56:00.000-08:00Your pictures bring it all back.

When Margaret Gallager was our babysitter in Smelterville when I was five ( I believe) each day after lunch we got five cents to go to the Wayside Market for candy. It bought us so much! Black licorice pipes, one piece of gum, a pixie stick, or Kit Kats... oh and if we really splurged we got the candy cigarettes and "smoked" all the way across the alley to her house.Christy Woolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748862572108653566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-14729072113483076892007-11-04T08:31:00.000-08:002007-11-04T08:31:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness, I see Mallo Cups...yum :)Oh my goodness, I see Mallo Cups...yum :)Michelle | Bleeding Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-89950599139356400242007-11-04T07:11:00.000-08:002007-11-04T07:11:00.000-08:00I liked the reminiscence.I liked the reminiscence.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-58758475443181841752007-11-04T06:07:00.000-08:002007-11-04T06:07:00.000-08:00Sounds like you've earned the right to be a little...Sounds like you've earned the right to be a little jaded and have some luxuries now.<BR/><BR/>I can imagine how good any food must have tasted when it was such a struggle to get it.DJParehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029267667550203879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-33269850962131769122007-11-04T05:52:00.000-08:002007-11-04T05:52:00.000-08:00i agree with you .. simple pleasures have gone the...i agree with you .. simple pleasures have gone the way of the gremlin and penny candy.. they just don't exist anymore....paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231453820728399262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-32233644509339067072007-11-03T21:49:00.000-07:002007-11-03T21:49:00.000-07:00OMG, these are my favorite memories!!

I remember eating those Arbie's with "Me and Mrs. Jones" playing on the radio!! Remember the first Thanksgiving when the guys from your tech school bought that 35 lb turkey that I tried to cook it and all the juice ran out of the oven and all over the kitchen floor? So much for GRAVY!!

Maybe a book is in your future?? You know I would buy a copy. Loved your ending although I'm sorry to hear that true delight is rare... ( although as I get older I know what you mean.) <BR/>Maybe you should enter some more bowling tournaments?!! :))Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11442070518518821892noreply@blogger.com
