I lived in Indian River country much of my life, in Melbourne, Port Malabar and Ft. Pierce.
During WWII when sugar was purchased with ration stamps, and quite precious, a friend of ours had a processing plant for citrus.
'Tragically,' every now and then a 50-pound sack became damp on the bottom, and of course could not be used.
A lot of it ended up in dinners and desserts in our home - usually in cakes and pies - for Navy pilots who dated my two older sisters - especially at Christmas..:))
Down, and out guys. Manana all.
A wonderful evening to each and every one.
Lady that citrus sugar sounds so good and those dessert's! Mmmmmm!
I just got back from Gatlinburg and caught up on reading the thread...sorry about the absense of music, I'll try to do better...and what is lodwick still doing up this late? :)
Funny story...I called my Mom when I got in and she said she had found a box with my old report cards in it today from elementary school (in Tulsa, Okla) and she said the teachers had written that I liked to read was becoming more independant but wouldn't stay in my seat and talked to other's too much. Now doesn't that sound just like a future FReeper?!? LOL!
Wow...we were virtually neighbors!
I spent more years in Palm Beach County FL (Yep, the place where people don't know how to vote!!) and my folks and sister still live there.
But, Indian River County and Sebastian is where my heart lies. .45MAN worked in Palm Bay and I worked at Sebastian River Medical Center. Never realized how blessed we were until we left.
