corn syrup...

in it's finest form.
*
bulk food candy bins...
i.
salute.
you.
*
you should have seen me walk into winco,
i almost giggled outloud
when i saw the smorgasbord of sweet trinkets!!
*
what is wrong with me?
*
as i skipped along
with my magical silver scooper,
scooping up happiness,
i was singing this in my head...
*

"who can take a sunrise,
sprinkle it with dew
cover it in chocolate and
a miracle or two
the candy man
the candy man can
the candy man can,
cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
---
who can take a rainbow,
wrap it in a sigh
soak it in the sun and make
a strawberry-lemon pie
the candy man
the candy man can
the candy man can,
cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
---
the candy man makes
everything he bakes
satisfying and delicious
talk about your childhood wishes
you can even eat the dishes
---
who can take tomorrow,
dip it in a dream
seperate the sorrow and
collect up all the cream
the candy man
the candy man can
the candy man can,
'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
---
and the world tastes good
because the candy man
thinks it should!
---
THANK YOU SACRAMENTO!!

Oh, sweet, happy memories of my childhood! I love that song (Harry Connick has a medley version of that song and "Imagination" - both from the GOOD Willy Wonka movie), and I just love Gene Wilder in that movie. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if you remember me. I am Emily's friend Rachel Landon, and I am Jill's little sister. I had seen your blog from Jill's and always looked at it because I LOVE looking at your blog. I don't stalk you, but I feel like I know you because I love all of your family. Anyway, I loved this post. I would be the same way with the silver scoop. I love it. You have a darling family.

What is wrong with all of us? I was happy just looking at your candy. My Valentine candy is bounteous and beautiful.
