I saw this jar cake at the airport recently. It was about $7, I didn't buy it but I'd never seen one before. How's that for a treat to go?
I took my mom for a routine blood test a couple of days ago. She had been fasting, so we went to McDonald's for a quick meal afterward. This older guy sitting next to her was trying to chat her up while I was at the cashier. I come back and he complains 'She's not talking to me'. I asked him if he was retired. He says 'For 10 years now. I'm waiting on the Casino bus, it comes in 20 minutes'. I told him mom used to go to the Casino. He says to her ' You should come with me, I'll take you'. Then he shows me his cane, his sight is impaired but he said he can read large letters. He lives in the neighbourhood. He took a liking to mom, being of the same age group I guess. He was tall with a slight European accent. Mom said she doesn't talk to strangers. She has a bit of memory loss as she approaches 75 years old and is sometimes not her usual friendly self, what can I say! My siblings had a good laugh when I told them this story.

Awwww... That's so cute. Too bad, your mom didn't find it flattering. :-)
Poor man that he didn't have any luck with your Mom! You can buy those jar cakes here, too, but I have never tried them, they are too expensive! Valerie
Hey, I would have chatted with a tall European man! Lol.
poor fellow
wow, thats kinda cute, he must be lonely, I haven't saw jar cakes, mmm, different,
I'm sorry to hear about your mom's loss of memory. I pray that she will still enjoy the things she loves to do and to have pleasant memories of the past. God bless, Ms Christine! The story you shared to us was indeed hilarious :D
I love the story. My mom's memory started to deterorate around that age too. I'm close to it myself. But so far so good. Next time I hope she hops on the bus! ;-)
That jarcake seems like a scrumptious idea... maybe we cna bake our own at a fraction ofthe cost;-) Cute story about your mom being appreciated by the European man:-)
This is a really cute history; well dear now you have one recipe to make cake in a jar! Lol
anyway I wil make other recipes like these in the future:)
I LOVE this! Go, Mom! xoxo
Your mom is still young. I think it's nice that the gentleman wanted to flirt and perhaps take her out. My mother remarried about that age.
Yes, Gloria, I do have your recipe now!
