S&H Green Stamps

Anyone remember these from the 60's? You collected them until you had enough to purchase something from their catalog. Well, when I was around 10 I had a paper route and part of my pay was S&H Green Stamps. When the job was over we went thru the catalog to find something for me to buy. Mom talked me into ordering a pitchter and glasses set. I had it for years. Not sure what ever became of it though. I know I'd broken a few of the glasses in moves throughout the years.

So this past weekend the wife and I went shopping for new glasses. Something that wouldn't etch in the dishwasher. 4 hours and about 16 stores and we still couldn't find anything. I was done shopping and ready to drink a beer. The wife continued her search. I got it in my head to find those type of glasses I used to have. Found out they were called "milk glass". And I found a complete set on eBay. With 4 fours of bidding left on the item. I put in a max bid of $50.00 and won! For only $31.00! Here they are. I should be receiving them in about a week.

Enemy Territory Pt. III

So we take off to Green Bay Saturday afternoon. And guess what we see on the way up?

Good omen, no?

Found our hotel and checked in and look how close to the stadium we were:

Only a 2 block walk to get there. (It was a 2 block stumble on the way back!)

Although the Bears lost the game 21-15 it was still a blast. It was funny to hear the Packer fans cuss out Rodgers one minute and then cheer him on the next. But I was doing the same thing concerning Cutler. 4 INT's! But it was still a well fought game. And judging by all the other games we watched that afternoon, the Vikings look like the team to beat.

And just why is this guy smiling? The Bears lost! ( I bet Miller Lite had something to do with it.)
