Remembering Things That Are Gone!
 

Who remembers "Fudgetown" cookies? Used to gobble them up as a kid......have not seen them in years!:drool:

How about Maxum instant coffee. That was way better than what's out there now.

How about Keebler's "Magic Middles"?

I have a "magic middle" from eating Keebler cookies!:hihi:

I remember watching them bomb the Target ship.:uhuh: I was about 11 y/o when they stopped doing the bombing. I miss going to Brewster for 2 hole weeks and staying at Ellis landing in one of those cottages right on the beach. I remember going to the Dairy Queen and getting a med. cherry dip. I remember going to Nauset in the refrigerator green International Scout and sitting on the tail gate from the parking lot to long bar. And I remember not being the Dad who had to organize, plan, tow the boat for and pay for the hole thing.
