Does anyone read this blog?

Hey family, come on! You need to get on the ban-wagon and start blogging! I can see only a few who are taking the time to contribute when in all reality we want to know what you are all doing!!! So, instead of just reading this blog, lets see some enthusiasm about the wonderful lives of all the Buchanan kids and communicate while we have the chance! I love you all and to those who are actually taking the time to write about your lives, thank you! I guess I am just curious!

Dad's Green Root Beer

When we were growing up, we all knew our dad's preferences: a "real" plate at the dinner table, black licorice, two poached eggs for breakfast, frozen water from a gallon-sized Clorox bottle, mincemeat pie, and oyster stew on Saturday night. And did we mention green root beer?

Huh?

Mac's soda pop came in clear glass bottles before the days when soda was measured in liters. It must have been two quarts or so, in black cherry, root beer, orange and lemon-lime flavors, with the latter a limey (no doubt artificial) shade of green. On Sunday evenings, we often had popcorn and ice cream floats while we watched the weekly Kennecott movie. Dad's favorite was the lemon lime soda, and we always had it on hand for such an occasion. But we don't recall ever hearing "lemon lime"; Dad called it "green root beer".

We named our blog "Green Root Beer" because we hope our sweet memories of past times will create the background to share and record our everyday history as it happens in the present and into the future. Welcome to the Buchanan Family Blah Blah Blog...feel free to post your stories and pictures!
