Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Blue Monday: Blue Kitchen Things

I climbed up on the kitchen counter, took these things from the shelf and washed them off this morning for this photo shoot. The theme is blue. Blue kitchen things!

Does anybody else save old boxes besides me?

These two are actually full of the original products.

This stuff was spendy!

I bet that Cool Whip was only .79 back then.

Do they still make D-ZERTA, I wonder?

==============================================

I showed this the other day in another post, but thought I'd post it again, just because it is so cute and so blue:

Gloria said...: Very pretty blue things, Kathy -- I love those ceramic bread boxes! And I remember those old products... but for the dessert topping, I used to buy the high calorie Reddi-Whip, which I STILL buy! LOL!
Best,

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for all your comments. Terry, I was making it sound worse than it was, climbing up there. Everything is really dusty; it all needs to be cleaned.

My Dad and Step-mom gave us the lemon bread boxes one year filled with bisquoti. I ended up with two. I keep coffee in one of them.

Thanks for leaving comments; I have visited your sites too.
