Gumballs

I just popped a gum ball in my mouth a few seconds ago. Yep, we still got leftovers from the reception. Anyway, I was immediately taken back to Gumpma and Granny Margaret's cute little pink house house. Granny Margaret always had bleeding hearts, the plant of course, planted along with her roses. But remember their cool gum ball machine? They would always give us pennies while we were visiting so we could get some of that scrumptiousness. The pink ones were always my favorite. Or was it the white? Either way, I miss that. 


We also had ninja turtle plastic chairs--we would all gather outside on the lawn in our lawn chairs to watch the sunset. We would pick fresh peas and raspberries. They always had those delicious popsicles --the kind that split down the middle. The blue were my favorite. Granny also had those old little figurines--2 of them were small deer---random. We would play with those things all the time. 


Granny Margaret always made her potato salad and fried chicken and we would set up the picnic table outside. MMMMMM! Then for dessert if we were lucky we would have her homemade ice cream cake. 


So many lovely memories!
