Chicle Chews memories... I remember every Thursday
night was shopping night when I was little. I would go into town
with my mom and we did the weeks grocery shopping as well as
anything else we needed. First stop was always the bank. There it
was, over in the corner just waiting for me.
My favorite gum machine with those wonderful
little "square" gum balls. I would wait patiently for my mom to hand
me that penny and off I'd go. Sometimes she'd give me two or three
pennies and I was in heaven. I remember my hand didn't seem big
enough to hold them all but I never dropped one. I have to say a
number of years have gone by and every time I would see a gum
machine I'd look for my little "square" gum balls. Seems they were
hard to find. Well, just 2 days ago my husband bought me that gum
machine. It's in our game room now and I can have my little "square"
gum balls anytime I want. I wonder if my mom has any extra pennies.
