Good Morning Speakies:
Happy Tuesday wishes to you all. Just wanted to let you readers know my Roe came home from the hospital yesterday and I wish for her a speedy recovery while resting at home. Thanks for all the get well wishes from my Guys and Dolls, especially Mack and Skip. Thanks to you all very much.
It looks like snow outside this morning those dark, grey, stormy clouds but temps are expected in the 70’s this afternoon with a cold front scheduled for this evening dropping temps into the upper 30’s. There is your weather forecast for Central Florida from Certified Weatherman JoeyZ.
Today we celebrate “MILK DAY” and I thank those cows for all the hard work they do and the dairy farmers who fill us with that Vitamin D wonder. Back in grammar school we had the choice of white milk, chocolate milk and orange drink every day. I remember paying every day for a bottle but can’t remember what the actual cost was then. Yes readers the milk was in a glass bottle with a paper cap as the bottle cover. My favorite was the chocolate milk with the orange drink running second. The white milk was my least favorite the taste always reminded me of milk of magnesia. I’m getting the shivers right now as I'm thinking of it. Those nuns really pushed that white milk they probably got a commission on the sale.
They also sold the Philadelphia style hot pretzels but believe me they were not hot, more like soft and soggy, but as a kid I loved them. Now those pretzels were the long version not the regular pretzel shaped. Memories flow back when you celebrate those odd holidays like today.
Have a great day Guys and Dolls and remember be careful out there.

Stoy's Dairy if my memory serves Joe?
That and the watered down "Orange Ade" that was our first experience with "not the real deal"??
Skip
That's the famous dairy. More like orange water.
I remember Abbott Farms milk.
I also remember the aluminum thing on peoples porches for milk bottles
in the days of milkmen:)
Now my "big boys" can go down and bring up the cartons from Stoy's.
So Ronnie Chebra (Servus Bakery) or Wayne Sokowoski would get up. Wayne's father was "Moose" the motorcycle cop.
No, Skipper you sit down, I said the big boys.
Thank you Sisters Mary Horrorata and Enemy Ann for giving me a short persons complex.

Joe, I just remembered old "Pop" the ever present custodian.
He was always in the basement just after school to meet us with the paper to toss into the incinerator.
And waiting and hoping someone would screw up on your designated day to take the blackboard erasers out and clap them till you choked in that cloud of dust.
Skip
Mack I remember those too, only we never had milk delivered there were so many Mom and Pop stores, the kid here just ran down and got a quart when needed.
Skip: Personally I did not want to carry those wooden milk crates. I knew Ronnie and Wayne, played basketball on the JV team, Wayne kicked our butts. Sister Honorata, had her in 8th grade, she took care of the altar boys. Do you remembe a Sister Gabriel, I had her in 3'rd grade, my mother had her as a teacher in Holy Cross when she went there. Don't remembe Pop, but those erasers got to me too.
