If you are old enough to remember a Big Boy hamburger, raise your hand.
Oh and their strawberry pie was off the charts excellent.

My hand is raised! I don't remember the strawberry pie though. I probably wanted an iScream sundae. The flowers are beautiful! I see that you are on your towel, Madi!
ReplyDeleteMom is aware of them, but never had any.
ReplyDeleteI remember Big Boy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! Mom remembers Big Boy. Here they were called JB's and in Indiana where she used to live it was called Azars.

Such beautiful flowers pretty Madi! My Dad remembers the Big Boy and the pie too!
ReplyDeleteI miss Big Boy's! We haven't had them here for 30 years ... but I've had them a few times elsewhere when I was traveling (still awhile back). Looking gorgeous, Madi!
ReplyDeleteI remember that strawberry pie from college! Don't think we had Big Boy in Northern VA. Made a strawberry pie last year--good, but not the same! Love all the flowers.
ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful flowers! (Ghostwriter and Dad remember the Big boy!)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if we had these 'out west' when I was growing up in Colorado, but the statue looks familiar. Way back in the far recesses of my mind.
ReplyDeleteSpring time flowers are the best!! You shared some beautiful ones today.
Cameron Village?!?!? I have my own village?!?!? With a Big Boy hamburger place?!??! This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteCammie!
Those are all just such pretty flowers. We are just starting to see some shrubs and bulbs in bloom here.
ReplyDeleteWe love seeing all the flowers. And we do still have a few Big Boys around here, though the mom says it's been years since she's been to one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bunch of flowers today Madi! Our Mama totally remembers Big Boy and our Daddy used to work for one when he was little!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
