Many thanks to Beverly for hosting this every week. You can find her at How Sweet the Sound where she lists many others participating in Pink Saturday.
In recent posts I have been showing beautiful scenery along my drives to and from church. This was also taken one of those days in the town our church is in. We used to live here as well. And actually I grew up in this town.This is what is known as a Tulip tree. I am seeing those in bloom now. I have captured one here as I was in the line of cars for the stop sign at the corner. The blooms are purply pink and so pretty. I always forget where these trees are until they are blooming again.
Across the street there is the old park in town. I have memories of a curvy slide there. I can remember playing on it and before it was removed for updated play equipment, my son had also played on it.
When our son was small, we used to live a few blocks to the left I would often walk to this park from there. Our daughter was born while we were living at that house.
Then several years later we live in a house a few blocks to the right. We were in a corner house and that street was the side street by our house at the time. We also used to walk to the park from that house too.
Then I drove down to this place because it is PINK. That bakery has been there as long as I can remember. The street used to be narrower. Now the street is right outside the building. See the sidewalk there. Sometimes it is scary to walk along there to get in the door to the bakery. My old high school is a couple blocks beyond this building. And that is a brand new Starbuck's going in on that corner there.This place also has a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. Yum...I want to go there now for breakfast. Oh, and the building has always been PINK.
Remember this candy dish I posted for the last Pink Saturday I did. Many of you felt you could take a piece right out of the screen.Why am I showing you again?
Oh...maybe to torture you as you see the Melt Away candies from Hickory Farms disappear right before your eyes.
Look at that!Not much left......
Going.....

Wow ..that was a lot of candy...did you really eat it all yourself?
Linnea, you took the last one! SHAME on you! LOL! Oh, I guess Helmi did it, huh? ;-)
I love that pink stripe building. Just want to live in it because it's so cute. :-)
Happy PS,
XO,
Sheila :-)
Haha..I love your Pinks today...and I tried and tried to get that last piece but...you beat me to it !
xo bj
To answer Sondre: No, I didn't eat them all myself. Hubby helped. :-) But they lasted over a month before there were gone bye-bye. Need to refill with something else pink!
That building is so fun!! I am afraid I would have had my hand in your candy jar too...those mint meltaways are so good!!
I am participating but didnt get my name in on time...shame on me!! Come visit me!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
You are cracking me up here with your candy Linnea! Happy Pink saturday to you!
Reading about the bakery made me hungry. A warm donut and a cold glass of milk...yeah, I've gotta get me some!
I wish that you could be here for my surgery. When I had my right knee done - I had lots of therapy, but most of it happened after 6 weeks, because of the broken leg. This time, I might get lucky, and just have to have the lateral release. I got my cardiac clearance yesterday, and now I'm just waiting for the lab results. I'll keep you posted!
Now didn't your Mamma tell you that you always offer the last piece to your guests? Hee hee!
Happy Pink Saturday and loved the pictures so much!
You're just so much fun, 'Nea! Love the little "Buttercreme" shop!! And of course the disappearing melt aways!! Thanks for the grins, sweetie!!
Have a joyful day!!
Becky :o)
I didn't grab quickly enough. Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!
Yours has to be the cutest blog I've looked at today. Gosh, you have a great imagination!
I enjoyed your pink Saturday. Great pictures.
Best Wishes

Those little meltaways were my late grandmas favorite! Thanks for the memory!
Happy PS!
Thansk for the pretty pink. I used to buy those Melt Away Mints for my Mom and Dad at Christmas. Of course I got a bag too. They are so tiny it's easy to make a pig of yourself when you only intended to eat a couple! Love that pink striped building!
Wow, all that pink candy. I love it. happy pink Saturday
Aw, no candy left? Hope "someone" enjoyed it. LOL
Happy Pink Saturday! Lana
If you really ate all that candy, you must have one serious tummyache! I don't think I could resist, either! :)
This was so fun!! Love your posts. You are so dear. I WANT a tulip tree. They're gorgeous and I love the leaves the spring after the flowers.
I loved the meltaways (tho I was not quick enough to get one :) ) and I lobe the pink building. Happy Pink Saturday and have a great week.
You're so silly Nommy! You really shouldn't tease people like that. I remember Buttercreme Bakery. I had many a good meal there with friends and family. I think we stopped in there for brunch a few times on Sunday mornings after church. I remember when they were talking about tearing it down. It was so sad. I'm glad they didn't it's very much a part of the town's history!
LOL....how delightful! i feel as if i was a school girl running to get the last rice krispie candy from the cafeteria! LOL
i guess by the time am here, the candies were all gone.. lol.. happy PS! I'll come again when your candy car is full!.. hehehehehe have a great weekend
