Visiting Mother

My recent visit to Mother on Memorial Day Weekend, I took her to the cemetery.   She still marvels at the design of the monument.  She wondered, "Where are they going to put me?" ( in relation to Dad)

















  Mother points to back side and all the chick  names.

Friday we had Girls Night out when a bunch of us got together. Chanel was recovering from Gall stone surgery.

Mother doesn't cook anymore ( takes after her daughter)  so Jana buys mom ready made food to eat. There wasn't too much to cook with plus we don't want left overs so I ate mother's type of food.  Here's a picture of Sunday dinner.  I think they are quite tasty . I could loose weight on these meals; they didn't fill me up. I didn't check all the labels on the back with high sodium   etc.

Caldwell Home

Every time I go to our home Caldwell I try to photo document another  item.

This time I shot the stairwell, don't want to every forget the stairwell with it's baby gate, ( now grandma gate) Please don't go downstairs. 





Also the basement view. Many a child has banged their hands against the wooden poles while running up and the down stairs.  We also have escaped the hands of the boogie monster through the poles going up the stairs at night.

I've never seen a bathroom with a better mirror set up than the infamous Pink Girls Bathroom. I think the mirrors are getting some distortion as are my eyes so it's harder to see the back of my hair from the sink.

 As you can see  stand between the center mirror and pull the other two from the wall. It works great for seeing the back of your hair. Behind the side mirrors are a medicine cabinets.



Notice the gray 50's Formica counter top

Down Memory Lane

 My recent trip to Caldwell made me think about the old Eddies Bread signs we saw  in our youth while driving in the country  to visit Uncle Boyd in Meridian,Aunt Elda or the  Hansens in Middleton.  We used to count them along the way.

  Who ever yelled out "Eddies Bread" got to add the sign to their total.  Usually they were posted by a farmers mail box, or strung to a barber wire fence on a post.  Where is Hertha when I 'm in the mood to reminisce.  Jocile, Lora Dawn, do you remember these signs?  I always wondered  Did the posted sign mean the Farmers family ate Eddies Bread. Now I wonder if they grew wheat for the company.

Mother used to make home made bread so commercial bread was a great treat for us.  We used to wad up a piece into a ball and eat it as a snack.

 
Recently a customer told me he used to work for Eddies  Bread in Ogden as a college student and yes, they still exist. I notice on Internet there are other locations, Ammon , Idaho  So here's to Eddies Bread Sign, which I longed to see.  I found  it on the Internet

 We  counted Christmas trees on the way to church similar to counting  Eddies Bread signs..  And we loved Burma Shave Adds, which were a form  of entertainment while traveling.

 

Also we loved the Mum deodorant cream bottles and used them for salt and pepper shakers for our MUM CAFE
