Sometimes re-visiting the past is good

(This is probably a PG: Over Forty type post)
I found a web site today that sells the kind of candy I used to buy as a kid. Wax lips, wax fangs, Zagnut bars, Zero bars, Mallow-Cups, Fruit Stripe gum, Gold Rush gum, etc. And, you can order a personalized bag with all your favorites in it. This was like a trip to the candy store when I was eight. It brought back a lot of fun memories.

I'm off to play hopscotch and ride my banana-seat bike now.
Peace,
Lil' Gabe

Debbie,

Mallow-cups are at the top of my "old time candy" wish list. They were my favorite thing to get for Halloween. I am going to order my "pick your own bag" for my birthday which comes later in the year.
Peace,
Gabe

Thanks so much for a nice way to visit the past! My grandpa use to take me to the penny candy store when I was little. I use to enjoy those trips with him and always felt so special. I am going to the site and now I getting a treat today! Thanks so much for sharing with us! God Bless Dawn
