Red licorice ropes were another favorite.
Sunflower seeds were a cheap treat. For a long time, you could get a small bag for 5 cents. Then they went up to 10 cents, which was still a bargain.
What one of your favorite candies when you were a kid?
Did you have a favorite store you purchased that candy from?
I'm a little behind on my sibling assignments, so I am playing catch up.
A few weeks ago, I gave this assignment to my siblings:
Listen to this piece of music, Vivaldi’s Concerto for Violin, and write what you hear.
This video shows what I heard through this piece of music.
As I was saying goodbye to my friends this afternoon after our book group, I spied this in the front flower bed. YIPEE!!!
The crocus has emerged and is ready to bloom.
Okay, maybe spring is on the way.
Scott and Amy Hall dancing the Texas Two Step.
Cherri Bartle and her granson Colton Peeler did Swing Dancing.
Scott Peterson and his daughter Chloe did the waltz.
I received the Celtic Woman "A New Journey" CD for Christmas, and really enjoy the sound of these women. I think my ancestors from England must have had some Celtic blood, because I love this kind of music. After watching this video, it makes me want to go visit an old castle in Ireland. Enjoy!!
Even though "The Miser" has come to a close, we are still busy with other things. This weekend is packed full of things for us and the girls.
Tonight, PKR and I traveled over to Coeur d'Alene and watched Kiki Aru play basketball in an AAU Tournament, which continues through Sunday.
Z2 and Kiki Aru participate in the regional History Day competition at Kellogg Middle School tomorrow.
PKR and I have Easter Cantata dress rehearsal tomorrow, with performances on Sunday at St. Ritas Catholic Church at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Princess is traveling to Post Falls to be judged in the Solo and Ensemble competition. She is singing "Greensleeves".
So, here, there, everywhere. That is where our family will be this weekend.
Hope you all have a great weekend as well.
Thanks to my sister Inland Empire Girl for awarding me the Best Blogging Buddies Award, and the nice comment she said about my blog here.
I feel like I have become a bit disjointed these last few weeks in the blogging world, so this was a nice way to get me jump started again. I've missed writing my daily posts, and reading other blogs, and commenting on them.
I am passing the Blogging Buddy Award on to four different bloggers who are all guys who have lived in the Silver Valley at one time or another.
First is my brother, Raymond Pert at Kellogg Bloggin. He showed me what blogging is all about, and has shown me that writing honestly can be a very courageous and healing thing to do.
Next is Go Figure at Placer Creek. This past year his comments have been very encouraging and thought provoking. His posts can often make me think in ways I haven't before, or I laugh out loud because they are so humorous. Go Figure grew up in the Centre of the Universe, Wallace, Idaho.
I also enjoy reading Idaho Escapee at Atmospheric Ruminations. His posts range from politics to music to odd trivia that I find very enjoyable. I know if I ever have any questions about music, Idaho Escapee is the one to ask.
My last award goes to one of my newest blogging buddies, Cedar Street Kid at Drivals and Snivals. I've enjoyed his comments, and his observances on life. He also grew up in the Center of the Universe with Go Figure, and has now returned to live in his hometown.
Thanks, guys, for helping make blogging a rich and wonderful experience.
