Thank you to all who sent their public and private thoughtful sympathies for my Aunt Kitty. A great lady who will be missed by many. I was grateful to be in Minnesota with my family. I really needed a little levity and found it at the airport, of all places! Saw this shirt and had to get it. I visited the manufacturer’s site to capture these graphics to show you more of their clever t’s. Hope they make you smile too. (grimminc.com)
Have you seen this new gum? The packaging rocks and the gum is good too! I was impressed that it was from Wrigley. Very hip. (It’s not even on their website yet but the tv ads are cool). I used to collect gum wrappers as a kid – even had a few prized foreign language ones. It’s cool when someone knows what you’re into and they bring you cool stuff for your collection. I had Juicy Fruit in Japanese. Say it…… (how cool is that?)
I just have to rant for a minute about gum wrappers. Where are they? Have you noticed that most gums that come in stick form no longer have a paper wrapper? It’s foil only. Now I can’t complain about the new FIVE gum I just showed you because those foils rock. But where’s the paper? How are you supposed to make gum wrapper bracelets? Honestly! And while I’m ranting about Juicy Fruit being wrapper-less did you know the gum is now YELLOW? Really, go check. What happened to that classic cement gray color? Forget the yellow. I remember visiting my grandfather and he had a candy closet that was always stocked with Juicy Fruit. The whole closet smelled like it. The scent reminds me of him. That’s the ONLY reason I continue to buy it.
We are heading up to Marineland this week. Whale tales to follow when we return. I always bum out when the summer winds down because I don’t want this time with our kids to end. Savoring the last of it….
