EVEN ATLANTA HAS ICE A SHOWIN’
Baby it’s cold out there—well we’re damp and ONLY very chilly here but…
Have a quiz for you today:
What was the original Twinkie filling flavor
1. Chocolate
2. Strawberry
3. Banana
and the answer: Banana, the flavor was changed to vanilla during World War II due to rationing issues and never changed back. (Thanks to Fox News for that one)
Favorites today as promised: Snow theme. I have some Boyd Bear snowmen.
Murphy McFrost Fire and Ice: A firesnowmam, tall and so cute with fire hose and crystal water drops falling from it.
Slurp and the Snow Cone Stand
Snowmom the Nanny: I love this tall snowmom carrying two snowbabies. She’s in her cap and robe, secured shut for modesty with safety pins.
Jack and Frost: Another tall one with a Christmas tree and two snowkids one at the base holding snow flakes and another one climbing in the tree with a basket of snowballs.
Windy With Book: (book says “thou shalt not frown”) is seated wearing an impossibly tall, twisted, knit cap
Half Pipe the Hot Dogger: And his skate board. Also seated and reading a book. This books says “Speeds of 100 MPH not recommended…But yuh never know dude.”
I.B. Coldman…Ice is Nice: A fisherman complete with a fishing rod, a small companion, tackle box and a fish looking up from his hole in the frozen pond
and finally Jingle and Son with Wreath.
Each piece has edition and number on the bottom
Each piece also has a quote (In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities– Janis Arany on the bottom of Windy) or a proverb (Fall seven times, stand up 8–Japanese–on the base of Half Pipe).
