Butter Rum
A long, long time ago my family and I would take vacations to a camp resort in Pennsylvania.
Hey, look at that! While I was writing this I came across the website for the place we would go. Otter Lake Cool.
Anyway, on the way out of the campground at the end of a weekend or a week-long vacation my mom and I had a little tradition. One of us might run into the store to grab a soda, or to drop something off and when we did that we would grab a roll of
Butter Rum Lifesavers. Other than this one activity I don't really remember having them a lot at home. For some reason though this memory is closely tied to my memories of Otter Lake.
Today while I was at the CT office of my company they had a picnic outside. It was actually the first day in a really long time that it was nice enough to be outside at all and the picnic was fun. They were giving out candy for some reason and I happened upon an entire box of Butter Rum Lifesavers. I hadn't seen them in a really long time, but as soon as I did the memories came rushing back. It was really nice, and the rest of the afternoon I was in a really great mood mostly because I was thinking about that time with my family.
I grabbed a roll, although part of me doesn't want to open them.
