Zip . . . and we're at another
"Happy New Year!"
And, can you even imagine, a year as distant sounding as 2013???
For some reason that sounds to me even that much farther in time (from "my time" back in the day) than 2012.
Not sure why.
Part of today was spent looking at old photos of my paternal Grandparent's family (on down through my sibs and me) and some recently discovered sketches/yearbooks of my Grandma's, (Thanks again for the great time, Uncle D and Aunt S!). I've had three of the sketches hanging out on my desktop having been sent digitally a couple weeks ago. The one above triggered a thought of Clabber Girl, so, tonight I spent time poking around Clabber Girl history. Yeah...I know...(-:
So, I think my minds eye had me remembering the wave of the hair, but look at the similarity in the eyes too. I don't think my grandma was emulating her, but I think there's reason Clabber Girl popped to mind with the sketch.
If you're looking for a fun trip to take this coming summer, they do have a museum you could stop by!
In case you don't make it: The Clabber Girl name brand
comes from the word clabber which means clabbered
milk (sour milk). Back in the early 1800s, people
mixed clabber with pearl ash, soda, cream of tarter
and a few other ingredients to make what we know
today as baking powder.
The 1st baking powder brand by hulman and
company was the "Milk Brand". In 1899 it was
changed to the "Clabber Brand". In 1923 the company
had to change the name to "Clabber Girl".
