Man, that was good!

My Mom used to make whipped cream from scratch. Heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar. Then she'd whip it up with the dual paddle hand mixer. You had to be quick to get one of the paddles to "clean" off.

We can still buy milk in glass bottles here, from a small regional dairy. No delivery though, and they collect a $3.00 bottle deposit on each one.....

This was one of those songs. If we wanted to hear some song again, he usually flipped over the tape to play a song on the other tape side and subsequently flipped it again to hear the initial song again for a sing-along.

That makes sense, I'm guessing its those black cassette tapes you are talking about back in the 70's. I remember putting a finger through those white holes to retract and tighten the tape and may have destroyed one or two by accident.

Pretty sure one or two boxes are lying around somewhere.

I don't think we have any glass bottled milk locally, all we do have is plastic containers now, shame really.
