Engaged!!!!

Last week Leslie and her boyfriend, Jason went on a cruise with all of their friends. While in Jamaca they hiked up Dunn's River Falls. At the falls, Jason pulled out a ring and proposed to Leslie. Boy was she ever surprised! We are so excited. No date has been set, but they are looking at sometime this July. Congratulations Leslie & Jason!!!

Yeah, when I went to Dunn's River Falls I just held my cousin, Jill's, hand the whole way up and no one proposed to me at the top. I guess she got the better excursion!; March 12, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Julie said...: That is so cool! Congratulations Leslie and Jason. The last time we were at Dunn's River Falls we lost Caitlin or Jennilee's flip flop in the water and never found it! Good thing Jason didn't lose the ring! Tell us more....; March 12, 2008 at 10:19 AM

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!
