Have you ever seen a ghost? I did. Jerry and I were traveling up north and stopped to spend the night at a motel right close to railroad tracks in Pendleton Oregon. In the night I heard the train, opened my eyes and what looked like a man was standing there looking out the window towards the train...
I had a sense of deep loss that he was feeling. So strange.
Seems as though someone had left him that really impacted his heart.
Never have seen a ghost since. Weird......
How about this.... remember Rice-A-Roni?
In 1958, Vince DeDomenico invented Rice-A-Roni by adding a dry
chicken soup mix to rice and macaroni. It was introduced in 1958 in the
Northwest United States and went nationwide four years later. Because of it's
origins, it was called "The San Francisco Treat!" Originally named for it's
combination of half rice and half pasta, Rice-A-Roni quickly became a staple in
American families meals. Families across America were introduced to Rice-A-Roni
though television ads featuring Sanfrancisco's cable cars and the famous "The
San Francisco Treat" jingle.
1962 commercial:
This soup is soooooooooooo good, easy, and will have you coming back for
more!
