Comment on Memories and Moonpies… by Jo Ann.
Wow-talk about memories! I grew up in South Arkansas around El Dorado and Camden and my favorite drink was the little Grapette! Anybody remember them. They were such cute little bottles and I loved and still do moon pies!I related to so much of your post. But we picked cotton. I can still remember so vividly pulling a big old cotton sack on my shoulder and trying to fill it up! I’m the oldest of six and I loved my childhood. Thanks for reminding me of some sweet memories!

I lived these stories. We lived in a middle of nowhere community in southwest Virginia. Our filling station was called Lizzy Bee’s because the woman who owned it was named that (probably a nickname for Elizabeth, but who knows?). I remember that you could get bologna sliced there, fill up your tank, and catch up on local news. It was the only gasoline for MILES. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. My dad used to own a filling station when I was an infant. I don’t remember it but wish that I did! Jenny Page

Loved the trip down memory lane, Barb! I too find it sad that our grandchildren will never know the quiet innocence of those days. I sure do remember all of those great old filling stations and the service that was provided. The only place that you see that kind of service these days is if you watch Goober on the Andy Griffith show!

We used to collect pop bottles and turn them in for the money. Those filling stations are a quaint blast from the past. We have an old one just north of my hometown. I always thought it would make a neat boutique but for a house they are just too close to the road for me.~Ames

Barb, what a wonderful trip, that palace I unbelievable and the gardens amazing. I have several family members that go there year after year for vacation and they never tire of what it has to offer. They are also huge history buffs!

Looks like a lot of fun, Barb! I’ve never toured there, just visited. I would love to go if I could get my homebody family away from the beach!

Barb I love the picture of you and your honey, great picture of both of you. Oh how I want to go back, you did a fabulous job showing us Williamsburg. The Rockefeller kitchen cupboards reminded me of my color in the kitchen, and oh how I want that sink and stove. I am a throw back of the 1930s I guess. Loved my guided tour with you,
