Well we made it through another year of our annual candy day extravagansa, barely. It was actually two days this year, and we set a new record of using 40 lbs of chocolate! Thank goodness we give most of the candy away, or we would all weigh well over 300 pounds. We have been making candy with my mom and aunt pam and all the girls for as long as I can remember. Grandma Marges house transforms into a regular candy factory. We make several varieties each year. The staples..rums, turtles, coconuts, etc, and then we try a new one every once in a while. We work, laugh, and catch up on the happenings in each others lives. It is a great tradition, and one I look forward to every year. Charlie got to attend this year, and most of the pics are with family meeting her for the 1st time.
Graham went with papa on a wheeler ride, and had to come down and tell us that he had seen a bald eagle! He was so excited. Notice his cool coat, it was mine when I was around his age. Retro is so in style:) I love hearing how excited he gets telling me about the ducks, cows, buffalos, and the dogs. He loves his rides with Papa. Everyone seems to sneak down to have a few samples of candy of course throughout the day.
