Figi's
Every Christmas, my Aunt Mary Lou in Colorado sends me one of these Figi's samplers. Takes me back to the time when I got one right after I broke my leg. It was great comfort food. 64,77,35,0,C
Looks delicious. How nice John. I used to get those wonderful things too when my family was still alive. Enjoy your family while you can. Even though I had the usual (or not usual) family problems, I certainly miss them now. And other people say that too. It's funny how things they said come back to me. (Then I might find myself wanting to talk to them like my mother did). Gone is forever in this world.
My daughter bought me as a Christmas present - a similar sampler from the Klien Grocery Store in Tomball, Texas. The Klien Store was founded in 1923 by A.B. Klien . My father went to work for Mr. Klien in 1948 to run the Klien Funeral Home - also owned by A.B. Klien. My father had recently graduated from studying embalming & funeral directing at the Landig College of Moturary Science in Houston, Texas. My very first paying job was working in the Klien store - stocking the grocery shelfs with more groceries. Back in 1950 - that work paid 50 cents per hour. But the cost to go to a movie was only 15 cents & you could get a bag of popcorn for 10 cents.
I really like them,very tasty!

ReplyDeleteThat brings back memories of my Dad when he'd pick up something like that at K-Mart. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe gave out similar for Christmas gifts this year. We ended up going with the Swiss Colony stuff. So far no complaints.
