PhotoHunt Theme: Candy
The theme this week is "candy" and my memories of my Grandfather always included hard candy. I think he started carrying hard candy with him when he quit smoking. Now, I don't even remember him smoking so that was quite a long time ago! The candy was usually red and white striped peppermint candies and yellow butterscotch candies, both of which I still love today!

My father did the same thing - only he ate jelly beans after he stopped smoking. Personally, I'd rather have a peppermint. Thanks for stopping by the creek to comment on the candy there. Hope you are having a sweet weekend!
