Fond memories aren't enough!

These were my favorite sneakers when I first purchased a pair about 10 years ago.
Fast forward to the present, when I saw these same shoes I couldn't wait to get them. Unfortunately -- they were too narrow so I had to return them.
Quality looked great though, and if they were somewhat wider I definitely would have kept them.

How could one not give this 5 stars given the author's age and dedication to writing a piece of his history!  What a wonderful memory this 97 year old author has!  As I understand it from his Grandson (my friend), Milburn K, Fountain Sr., Aka, Mibs wrote this book longhand!  As I read the book I felt like I was back in my Grandmothers kitchen drinking hot cocoa while she and my grandfather recounted stories about their lives and their families.  As with most people, our memory fades with time and Mibs demonstrates extreme details on some areas of his memory while others are vague.  He reminds me so very much of my Grandmother at age 98.

We are reminded that although time has passed and some things have changed (you could sleep in a jail overnight as a guest and hitchhike) but others not (homelessness and poverty).

Bless Mibs for sharing a little bit of his life with us!!

I had all these nostalgic, wonderful memories from my childhood about these bears.  So sweet, delicious and comforting.  The perfect little treat.  Brother was I disappointed.  The bears were old, stale and disgusting.  I swear I remember them being super flavorful.  I feel like these had been sitting on the shelf since the mid 80's.  Needless to say the Black Forest are always fresh and I will be getting them next time fo-shizzle!

We are saddened that no more Suchet Poirots will be made but joyful that so many are available and that our memories are somewhat failing us. We watch them over and over again. At some point in the future we may only need one episode.

Israel - God's Heart was a trip down memory lane. It also fueled plenty of ideas for my next trip (whenever that may be)! I loved revisiting so many places I'd been in a new way; the (800+) pictures I took are nothing like those Gafni and Barrett present in this neat coffee-table book.

I particularly appreciated the inclusion of corresponding Bible verses and commentary about each picture. Biblical names and places often blur together for me; visiting Israel certainly made them come alive, but as time marches on, let's just say my memory isn't what it used to be. This book recaptures those memories, inspires me to make new ones, and tides me over until they become reality. Absolutely beautiful book!

I received a free copy of the book from Litfuse Group. All opinions are my own.

Love this book!  As a Waldwick native, this book brought back many great memories of growing up in a small, middle-class New Jersey town.  It really was a great place to live and to grow up.  Unfortunately the town I knew hardly exists anymore, which is a fact so common among most of the New York bedroom communities of North Jersey.  They've become too highbrow and the charm is gone - never to be recaptured.

It is getting harder and harder to find.  Every time I make this, it takes me back to my great childhood memories and it does the same for my mom.  Nice and crispy.  I hope I can always find it and I hope they will continue to make it.

I purchased the book because of quote re-created on a wall of a darling and delicious restaurant in Glen Ellyn, Illinois!  Family time dinners memories are truly memories we should ALL treasure!  Hope more families take to time to sit, listen, talk to each other!  SHUT ALL electronic devicies OFF!  Ask each other: what are your HIGHS and LOWS each day!  You would be surprised the answers your grandchilden and adults of ALL ages respond!  Purchase this book!  You don't have to read it ALL... Just enjoy the segments that apply to you at that moment in your life!
Quote from: Page 148 & 149:
Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way of Love:...
Lonni Collins Pratt
  Page 148  The table is a place where you connect and belong.  It is a place where the past remains alive in the memory of the very old, and the future sparkles with possibility.  It is enchanted.  We lean close together, we share a glass, we tell a story.  Through this simple human relating, the universe feels as thought I is right again, even after Uncle Stan have gone on to whatever comes next.

We all have memories of tables prepared for us and those we have readied for other.  Some o the memories are from childhood.  Other are memories of good friends, or falling in love, or of deeply connecting with another human being.  Meals are powerful symbols in our memory.  But someone has to make a meal happen.

I fell in love with this book as soon as I read that Albert Rothman was born in 1924, the same year as my late parents. I feel a certain kinship with him. Albert-- like my dad-- has a seemingly photographic memory for childhood detail. In an era that had few tape recorders and no digital or video cameras, we are left to treasure the oral and written history of "the greatest generation!" I love how Albert easily transitions from prose to poetry at various stops in his journey. The tales from the school room are particularly memorable. The black and white family photos are a treasure. Every family should keep its history and memories-- the good and the bad-- like Albert Rothman did. What a wonderful book!

This is one of those favorites that brings childhood memories to the forefront. I remember listening to this old LP on mom's old turn table when I was a kid. I have the cassette tape but a CD would really be great simply for the conveniance. But even $36.00 for a CD is a bit ridiculous. I can't believe with as great an LP as this is that it isn't available in CD for a cheaper price, especially with technology advancing the way it is. You'd think that classics like this would be the first thing made available in higher technology so newer generations could appreciate it. Afterall, the Beach Boys Christmas album is on CD and that's another that mom played to start the Christmas season and I had to have playing to really get the spirit going. Why not The Letterman. A classic.

High school nostalgia at its finest! This series brings back so many great memories from high school! This is one of the best DVD collections I've ever purchased! They put a lot of effort into the packaging and content! I'm so glad I was able to find this series for a reasonable price! Now all my friends want to order it as well! Oh and one more thing! La la la la la La la la la la ! LOL

I was a little skeptical about a book about cereal, but when a friend gave me a copy and I started leafing through it, I couldn't stop. There are tons of colorful photos of all your favorite boxes. It brings back a lot of great childhood memories especially about those sugary staples we can't live without that came out in the 60s like Lucky Charms and Froot Loops. It made me miss one of my personal favorites, Super Sugar Crisp and the Sugar Bear. The fun facts about the spokescharacters and slogans will have you waxing nostalgic about the good old days of riding your bike with the banana seat and the high handlebars. This would make a great gift for young and old alike!
