Friday Yummy
September 14th, 2007
Recently I was reminiscing and telling Curt how my Great-grandmother would make me pospsicles with Dr. Pepper using those old tupperware popsicle molds. I told him that I needed to get some of those molds so I could make Dr. Pepper popsicles – except I would use Diet now. So this week as I’m perusing the frozen aisle at the grocery store, you’ll never guess what I found!
YEP! Popsicles made with Diet A&W Root Beer, Diet Orange Crush and……..*giddies* Diet Dr. Pepper! How cool is that?! I was so lucky to have my Great-grandmother live until I was 20 years old and I have tons of wonderful childhood memories with her.
I woke up feeling like I’m getting that dreaded cold so I’ve been running around all day getting important stuff done in case I crash at some point today or tomorrow. I received my Club’s SU order today so I scurried and got it all sorted and bagged and ready for pick up. There were a few fun items in it for me too *wink* so hopefully I’ll feel like playing some tomorrow. No big plans or committments this weekend – looking forward to just playin’ it by ear and relaxing a bit. Hope you have a fantastic weekend and hope you can find a childhood treat to enjoy. I’m off to eat a popsicle! Thanks for stopping by.

Oooooh I love when I find something from my childhood like that. And those tupperware popsicles were the coolest. My friends mom used to my pudding pops with them and they were the best!

Jami, I love that story. There is nothing like our childhood memories of parents, grandparents. How funny that you found those diet pops. I haven’t seen them but will have to look as my husband loves pops but is always looking for sugar free, etc.

Get out! One of my FAVorite drinks is DDP, Jami, and my girls just recently discovered they like root beer . . . I think I’ll be making a grocery store run very soon! Thanks for sharing this!

Sooooooo much fun!!! What a great story, Jami!!! Tfs.
I’ve got to try those.
I recently admired an old, big, red barn on a coastal road (umm, I’m not a farm kind of girl, so no idea why) near here. I found out that my great, great grandfather built the barn. I didn’t know that he ever lived in that town…. or that he was a builder until I happened to mention the barn to my Dad as a landmark when giving directions one day. Your story is a similar coincidence. 🙂
