I almost forgot, being sent with a note by grandma to get a carton of Virginia Slims menthols, a case of long necks, to the corner store, with only a tenner, and having enough left over for a slush puppy and candy.

@NativePortlander1970 Finding a dime and coming home from the candy store with a full bag of candy!

@daydeeo Yeah! The candy store!
@daydeeo Penny sticks were the best, root beer, lime, cherry, and black licorice, were my favorites.
