Thanks Linda. :) It's my mother's. She came from and lived in several towns/counties near where old Ohio pottery and glass manufacturers were concentrated. Which is why I suspected an Ohio company. She told me many old pottery, stoneware & pieces were abundant (or used to be) in barns, attics, garages, in her younger years it was everywhere. Some so abundant then, they just sort of took it for granted. She had a lot of old Roseville, McCoy, Imperial Glass etc. but gave a lot away when moving. *whimper* Then when I started collecting she told me how much she regretted not keeping it. Me too! ;) But thankfully there are some remaining, she knew my love of antiques and old things. I'm sure my grandma (her mom) had some too. (Imperial glass in particular.) My mom's pieces have beaded edges & handles, I'll be posting some of those pics later. Glass is so tricky, I really do need to learn how to ID it. I have a compote she gave me years ago, saying it was my paternal grandmother's. Mom always called it 'strawberry glass' but there are no strawberries in the pattern, all I know is it's very old per my mother. I suspected the crock was around turn of century give or take, older than my mom by a generation. So that's why I strongly suspect it came from that area, based on how long she lived there.

I googled and supposedly this is the recipe that's on the box: Recipe: ICE BOX CAKE: from the original on the wafer package Ingredients 1 package Famous Chocolate Wafers Heavy Whipping Cream Vanilla Flavoring Sugar Whip the cream in a cold bowl Add one teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and sugar to taste Whip cream fairly stiff before spreading cream between the wafers Lay wafers to form a log Use remaining cream cover the log Refrigerate for at least 4 hours Cut diagonally into 10 to 14 slices so that dessert has the appearance of being layered. If you prefer individual servings: place four or five wafers together in a smaller log. Information from Amazon regarding wafers and shipping: Case of 12 9-ounce boxes of chocolate wafers (108 total ounces) Made from enriched wheat flour, cocoa, coconut, and chocolate No trans fat; low in cholesterol and saturated fat Crispy and mildly sweet; try it for chocolate crumb crusts and other recipes These wafers were introduced in 1924 by Nabisco tina

Carol, I remember Jake. Cutist little kidlet ever, and those dark eyes could melt anyone's heart. I didn't know you were expecting another grandchild. How exciting. God Bless. Six weeks to go???....hey my birthday's in about 6 weeks. :) We just spent the weekend visiting our oldest granddaughter for her 4th birthday. While I was getting her ready for bed, the 2 of us got to talking. She asked me about the day she was born. She's asked me this a few times already, and she just loves hearing me tell her about that most wonderful of days. Thanks for the welcome back Barb. It's good to be back. Anyone have a quick update on what's been going on with them?

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Doggie"!!He wasn't around long I think Spike banned him over something...I just remember when his wife came in and posted that he had passed away suddenly...He wrote the most incredible poem...I'll share it with ya... "Doctor Time" When we lose a loved one and we're in despair Doctor Time is already there He's treating us all, we're unaware When our loved one is gone and on their way Doctor Time helps us move on day to day He treats the anger, grief and sorrow with a medicine he calls "Tomorrow" As the days, weeks and months go by we just look back and wonder why Such a beautiful person had to die But deep inside we feel okay We have lived to see another day He's calmed the anger, grief and sorrow, we took the medicine he calls "Tomorrow" Doctor Time has one thing to say Time heals all wounds day by day I remember he posted this poem to someone's post who had lost a loved one and he died shortly thereafter...
