Last night I had a taste for popcorn. I don't often eat popcorn, and when it's made, I don't eat a lot. But Daniel was still here so I said "Daniel, go ask Papa if he will make us some Popcorn" Daniel said "Okay"..... So Tim obliged and came out to the kitchen and turned on the burner and proceeded to gather his supplies.
First comes the Priscilla Brand Popcorn Popper. It doesn't look like the photo above, it is way older. Ours belonged to Tim's Dad, and Tim ate popcorn out of a special white enamel bowl. We have the original popper, along with the bowl. Tim will be 67 in a couple of weeks, so the equipment has been around for a very long time.
Shudder to think of his reaction to "Microwave" substitute popcorn. Also, the corn has to be yellow in color, and is kept in a glass mayonaise jar from when we first got married 43 years ago.
His popcorn is the best! And he is the only one who can give the perfect spins to the two piece device that ultimately makes the popper full of Delish Delights.
I hope we can pass it on to Daniel.
Some things should remain the same!

Some things should remain the same. And when Daniel is grown and you and Tim are gone, he'll have the popcorn popper, the bowl, the mayonnaise jar and a flood of memories every time he makes a batch of popcorn. Precious gifts.
