Nothing much ever happens, but maybe I'll think of something to write. A blog is like my daddy's newspaper. You got to fill the pages with something.

Me, I'm in town every day helping Dad at the paper and keeping up with all the "Jupiter" news from Wes. :) I love jukeboxes, but I usually give my extra quarters to old Sal. I'll have to write about him on here sometime. Love the name of your little pop shop. Our grill is just the Hollyhill Grill. Boring. Cozy Nook is much, much better. And why don't we just be friends now?Ann H Gabharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534433855885000926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991565655147295456.post-78702812912980558122013-02-27T20:32:14.875-05:002013-02-27T20:32:14.875-05:00Jocie here - I love being around the little kids a...Jocie here - I love being around the little kids at our church.

When I...Oh Josie, I loved reading about Hollyhill. When I was younger, even though I grew up "in town", it was a big deal to go to town on Saturday nights. That was the only chance we had since my Dad worked 6 days a week and my Mom didn't drive. We went to the Cozy Nook and got 'pop' and ice cream and oh, how we loved that! There was a juke box and before I got too old to want to be with my parents, I would sit there and listen to the popular songs and sip my pop and eat my ice cream! Josie, we could have been friends if we had just lived closer!!

The other day, my Son and father of the 7 and 5 year old took them out to lunch with me. We were riding, and Son said that someone said that the 5 yr old looked just like him! 5 yr old says...."No way, I don't have a beard, and look, my clothes are different! <br />Wouldn't miss this for anything.

And turnips in soup - that sounds awful. Maybe when I get older I can try some of that. Right now I'll stick with fried potatoes and those ice cream cones!

Love that. I have to believe your town was more fun than Hollyhill. Two dips for a nickel. I'm going to tell the guy at the Grill about that!Ann H Gabharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534433855885000926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991565655147295456.post-48045930360901729622013-02-26T17:12:00.891-05:002013-02-26T17:12:00.891-05:00Oh Jocie, I meant to tell you that I grew up on a ... Oh Jocie, I meant to tell you that I grew up on a farm so I learned to love cabbage boiled, and especially fried. You should try it fried. Yummy! I also love turnips, and love them in my stew. BUT, I don't like spiders anywhere, and surely not in one of my drawers!

I've had so much fun visiting you... Hello Jocie. I've had so much fun visiting you. Glad you are not going away. I especially loved being here today. I too grew up in a really small town. I didn't get to be in town as much as I would have liked to be, for we lived out in the country. But, we got to go most times on Saturdays. We would have a nickel or two to spend. You see, we didn't have money all of the time like some of the kids did. First we'd got to Ole Judes, the candy store. We could get all kinds of stuff for just a penny. And, I loved to go to our drugstore and sit on the stool at the fountain(the bar). and order a double dip ice cream cone for a nickel. WOW! Imagine, two large dips! Then I would go to our grocery store. KIt had a long bench where people could sit and rest . It was mostly the black folks. They nearly always had babies. I always had to get me one of those cute babies and carry it around. You see, I have always loved babies and still do. I have 12 grandchildren and now I have 19 great-grandchildren. # little ones this past year. We could just run around all over that town till my momma and daddy were ready to go home. My grandma and granddad also lived nearby, so we were happy to see them, And I had a cousin about my age that was there. I finally had to move away for my daddy to get a job, but I still love to go to that little town to visit and remember.

I hope you'll come back to talk to me even after the giveaway is over. Who knows! I might really find something strangely interesting to write about in Hollyhill. Doubtful, but possible. And you're saying the same thing Wes tells me sometimes. Every day can be an adventure. If a person has a Jupiter attitude. <br /><br />JocieAnn H Gabharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534433855885000926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991565655147295456.post-65633840459796252032013-02-25T21:50:04.039-05:002013-02-25T21:50:04.039-05:00Hi Jocie (Ann), Anxious to see who wins but will m...Hi Jocie (Ann), Anxious to see who wins but will miss you. You put a smile on my face. I can truthfully say following your everyday life is an adventure and I think that's the way we should look at life but age & experience has a way of putting a damper on that!
