Riding bikes, going to the local pools and parks...what beautiful images your writing evokes! I've never seen those candies but we have these funny ones in Chinatown here called 'White Rabbit' that have that same kind of ricepaper stuff on them..."look I'm eating the paper!" we used to squeal with delight! <br />By the way, those branches you were asking about are a type of dogwood called Red Osier...no snow here but they are calling for some tommorow...fingers crossed!Kerry O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951445594586971908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-70429001286088018662011-12-12T10:52:10.785-08:002011-12-12T10:52:10.785-08:00Ha!

My memories are of my ...Ha! What a wonderful post!<br /><br />My memories are of my mom baking, or stopping at a Stuckeys on our road trips. She would always buy divinity candy. I am not a fan of it today either, but we always had candy. I have to make some fudge!Chef Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198603107302675448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-20484491169431740432011-12-10T16:30:33.671-08:002011-12-10T16:30:33.671-08:00I see it; I see your snow!

But why oh why is it snowing INSIDE your house on MY bunny? <br /><br />Thank you for the in-depth story of Torrone memories. As I mentioned before, there are few things more gratifying than the giving of a gift that is so genuinely and enthusiastically appreciated. You know me-----your touching acknowledgment got me all misty-eyed. //*_*\\ Thank you, sweetie. ~DawnCharming Bagladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-49055973033696752212011-12-10T14:02:29.212-08:002011-12-10T14:02:29.212-08:00Oh what a wonderful gift - and wonderful friend. ...Oh what a wonderful gift - and wonderful friend. I don't know the brand of course or have any memories of nougat but your post has revived other memories for me. Thank you.<br /><br />I really like your snow, too.

That she would remember this candy and send it to you is beyond cool. I Love interesting boxes. And that's a good one - boxes within boxes and sweet candy to boot. <br /><br />I'm glad you're stretching out your celebration so I can still say, Happy Birthday! Keep celebrating. No reason not to. :)Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-49456104426145769932011-12-10T06:35:54.369-08:002011-12-10T06:35:54.369-08:00Connie, this post brought back memories of my moth...Connie, this post brought back memories of my mother having the Torrone candy not only at Christmas time but at weddings etc. My daughter who lives in Washington State sends me some every year for Christmas but since I have been diagnosed as a diabetic<br />she will not be sending any this year, but I still have the memory of how good they were.
