Ma was saying last night that she wished her Dad was still around so he could enjoy a Barr’s whiskey.
His preferred tipple was Bells and he always had to have it in a “fine” glass.
Of course his namesake Barr’s wasn’t around then but it is a very mellow blend that Ma discovered at the bargain basement price of $30 for 1.75 litres.
My Dad loves it and has one “medicinal” serving each evening.
We have now accumulated, over the course of the past year I hasten to say, several empty bottles that Ma is keeping for Christmas.
She plans to use them for nonalcoholic beverages at the tearoom and maybe the odd punch for our parties at home.
If that doesn’t work we’ll have flowers in them instead!
Grandpa could no doubt have helped her empty a few more.
Alas he’s only able to cheer us on with Bells from above but we still celebrate good thoughts of him!
