(my Dad was from Albany, GA, home of Bobs Candy Co.) so we always had the peppermint sticks, which we used as straws in an orange with a hole cut in it! We also always had the jumbo seeded raisins on the vine, which was a favorite of my Dad's. The bright spot in a trip to Asheville was lunch at Woolworth's lunch counter...a club sandwich and vanilla shake or a patty melt and a cherry fountain coke. I do have special memories about the Christmas Eve communion service at the Presbyterian church in Brevard...it was always at beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate Christmas! Thanks for the memories! Wishing you and yours blessings and good health for the new year!Judy Mimsnoreply@blogger.com
