kisses

when i was little,

or maybe before i was born,

i don't know and it doesn't matter,

it was before i can remember...

my parents went to hershey park.

there are some pictures

(which i will scan and post when i'm home in ri!)

of my mom 

and a very old car,

and me as a baby,

and a fantastic hershey's kisses t-shirt.

somehow,

that shirt made it through many years,

a million washes,

and into my dresser.

it's the softest thing i own

and i'm always nervous that one day i'll put it in the wash

and it will come out in pieces.

i've tried to find a replacement

but, alas,

the company that made the shirt is no longer in business.

go fig.

so you can only imagine my excitement

when i found this on our way out of hershey park!!

mom's shirt on the left, my new one on the right.

not exactly the same, 

but pretty darn soft and sparkly, 

so it gets the job done.

oh and how cool is this...

hershey's kiss street lights

in downtown hershey.

love it!
