Best Shot: Fresh
When I was a little girl we’d go over the Peace Bridge, to Fort Erie, to the Ontario Bakery, almost weekly. There we’d load up on fresh baked rolls, olives, provolone, mortadella, and other delicacies. I can vividly recall sitting on the banks of the Niagara River eating a sandwich that was rustically exquisite. After lunch was consumed, we’d pack up and head back over the bridge to America, at which time I would have a sweet-treat to enjoy. Sometimes it was a chocolate bar, other times a cannoli, but there was always something. Memories like this never fade.

What sweet memories to post about. I love your creativity in taking the picture while the candy bar is in the back window of the car. You could not have tied the story and the photo together any better.

I’m not sure this was intentional or not, but I completely love the story of the sweet, with the mention of travel and the image of the sweet with the “open road” in the background. Rarely do words and image so strongly support one another. Pat yourself on the back.

Oooh…we didn’t do the Ontario bakery, but we went over the Peace Bridge many a time for (beer) trips to the cottage (and beer)…and always alway always I had to get Smarties, Canadian style. Oy, M&M’s made w/ Canadian chocolate…pastels and bigger then M&M’s…yummm. We’d also get Aero’s just for the fun of saying we had a candy bar of air. And then we’d leave the cottage and grab some more (beer) candy…and head on home and go to Pumpernick ‘N Pastry for good polish bread (Placek). *sigh* Ah, those were the days. My brother likes to reminisce about going to the liquor store and watching the cases of beer rolled out to us on the lines of rollers…the fantasies of boys ;)

That was some coffee you just treated me to! I enjoyed the rest of the posts ( I missed them because I was in London) - while drinking it!
Lovely memory, and the previous posts, like the christening, they will be the memories of the future! Loved the ” family watching closely”.
They always do, don’t they?

What a great memory and I love the shot. My childhood candy bar of choice. Twin Dings. Cherry nugget surrounded by peanut-ty chocolate.
