Really you all had Jewel T man up until a just a few years ago! Ah man, I can't pass this opportunity to tell this story! When I was about 6-7, not sure, but pretty young, but think I was in grade school, I hitched a ride one day & ended up over at my grandma's house! It stopped once, but he didn't see me, but he stopped at my grandma's or near-by to her house anyways, & ended up running up to my grandma's to tell her what happened! Needless to say, they were horrified at the prospect of me, having let me let go while in route. I was scared riding so needless to say, after grandma or my mother explained it to me, or I was told it was dangerous, not sure, but never did it again! But used to get teased by my relatives, for having done it! Most everyone has died that knew about it, but it was some wild, scary ride anyways! Anyone else do that from the list?

I have criss-cross curtains, which are hanging in my office windows in the front of the house, that my mom paid a little each week for from one of these door-to-door companies, back in the 60s. They had good, long lasting stuff! Yes, sad to see them go. Same with the hucksters (sp?). Hugs!

Yes, congratulations on the new babies all the way around. I'll bet mom and dad and the whole family will be glad when they can come home so they can get their hands on them and cuddle them.

Darrenkamp's smells so good, too!!!

WOW! You are really up there, aren't you! Glad that a lot of you are having warmer weather. We are too.

When I was a kid, my mother always knew where in the store to find me.... sitting on the floor by the coffee grinder just waiting for some one to come in and grind a bag or two.....

LOL!!!!!! Mock Cherry Pie made with red tomatoes :o) I know I have the recipe here somewhere. I got the recipe from someone, when I was making my tomato hot pepper stuff. Can't find that one either. It's probably in a handwritten old diary somewhere. I use to use up Lindsey's old diaries, that she never wrote in, or only started keeping, and didn't have anything that amounted to much in them. Saved the pages, for her, but couldn't see wasting most of the book. I know they are around here somewhere.

Next time Sally girl comes, we'll have time to give her a tour :o) Not that it is historically renovated, but if we could take you totally through both halves of the house, it is big :o) Anyway, got really off subject.

It's weird here, because uptown people say they don't have that. Makes me think they don't have good noses :o) LOL!!!!!!

After the A & P (originally known as the Atlantic &nd Pacific Tea Company) went out of business and dissolved its corporation, many of their previously designated "private brands" became available on the open market and are distributed through other corporations today.  Locally here in Northern Vermont, several items are currently aavailable through Hannaford Brothers stores, Price Chopper Stores and occasionally through some of the IGA type stores.  Another "brand name" that did similar was that of the older Red& White stores.  During the late 50's and 60's there was a Jewel Tea Distributership which made housecalls every two weeks to take orders for their products, and delivered them to your house the weel following your order.  Today with our supersize grocery markets, it's a whole different world out there -- but occasionally vestigaes of the past surface -- Eight O'clock coffee --  Sultanta products -- and even Woman's Day -- which was originally the "official" A & P magazine.  Family Circle magazine appeared a few years later as the official magazine for Grand Union Stores.  Both are still found on tthe magazine shelves in totally different stores today! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 1:05:49 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Decaf Drip I've seen 8 o'clock sold in stores of late -- but I don't think it is the   same as what they used to sell at A&P.
