Hard Candy, given to young boys.
Our aunt and uncle had a small store at the bridge (small bridge) crossing Bell Creek. The store front had a covered porch with a wooden bench on it. On that bench on nice days, our Uncle's mother would sit enjoying the outdoors, and passing cars (though very seldom), and the people who might be going by or coming to the store.Some of the people that passed by would be doing it on purpose, and that (people) was Me and my two brothers. We made sure "granny" was there before we passed even if it meant waiting awhile because she would always motion us to come over and from her pockets would produce a few of the old fashioned Christmas candy. These were great treats for us and the candies lasted a long time in your mouth. RIP Granny, miss your cand.. I mean, miss you.
