Old Fashioned dark potato chips reminds Don Campbell of the good old days., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Gaylord Meijers Store – Todays picture is one Deb took of me last night holding up some brand new style potato chips we just saw for the first time at the Gaylord Meijers Store .
So we decided to buy a bag of them as we thought they might be like the old burnt dark chips we used to pick out of the bag as kids many years ago.
We were a little confused about the rainbow logo and wondered if the chips were all different colors , ha,ha or something else ?
But when we got home and opened them up they were all the burnt , dark ones we did have as kids and they were delicious !!
Of course we could only have five of them because of our weightwatchers program, but it was pretty cool anyway.
We know Bruce at the Alpine Chocolat Haus when he is making chocolate covered potato chips he has a pile of the dark chips he sets aside from the conveyor and he eats them and sometimes we help him eat them, ha,ha.
So we’re sure some one came up with the idea of selling the dud chips as I’m sure there are bins and bins of them at the factorys.
It’s pretty bad when you get old and you get excited about something so simple as burnt potato chips, ha,ha.
Actually we get excited just to go to the grocery store LOL, in fact we get excited just to wake up every morning , ha,ha,ha.
At our age we don’t even fill the gas tank more than half a tank just in case we won’t be around the rest of the week to use it all up, ha,ha. Just kidding, Deb and I got a great , simple life and enjoy each day to it’s fullest.
Little things like the auto industry collapse, wall street collapse , hundreds of recent bank closings, depression level unemployment, home equity down 50%, record government debt, record credit card debt, personal investment losses of near 50% , and a hole in the earth in the gulf erupting thousands and thousands of gallons of oil week after week after week , etc, etc, etc.
It kinda makes me want to take the day off and just go goof off with Deb (:>).
P&H – I am cutting out more parts for the lower track frame drive assemblies.
ALENFEST 2010 5K RUN – I am running three times a week now 5k’s and walking and running the other 4 days a week.
At my age I don’t expect I’ll be a threat to anyone , but the personal goal of doing this will be a great feeling . Even if I finish last place I feel I am a winner compared to being a couch potato like so many people are these days. I know any day I can get up and return to being a couch potato again so every morning I start the day with 15 minutes of stretching and then we head out before we even have time to think about converting back to our old couch potato ways .
Enjoy today and everyday , the good old days are gone forever but we can still try to enjoy today Be sure to tell someone you love them today, give your kids a hug today !! (:>) It does no good to worry about this , so try to just think positive .
Have a great Wed.
