The Popcorn Bowl


Saturday night was fun because Daniel did a "sleepover" at our house. As is usual on a weekend sleepover, Daniel and I watch movies (last night it was Ratatoullie and UnderDog) and Papa Tim makes popcorn.
The popcorn is always served in one of three white enamel bowls with blue trim around the top. These bowls are special because they are the same bols that Tim ate gallons of popcorn out of when he was a little boy.
The popcorn popper (a Priscilla) is a stove-top rotary popper with so much patina on it that it looks like it is made out of cast iron. This too was the same popper that was used to make Tim's popcorn by his Father when Tim was a child.
A wonderful memory!

Such nice family traditions and memories. Doing some blog walking this am, and found my way. Wanted to say hello fellow Ohioan.

Hope you're staying warm, please swing by for a visit, the welcome mats always out.
