Seltzers

I drink my fair share of plain water.  I surpass my daily recommended amount in fact.  But  I have to admit that I love fizz when it comes to my drinks.  Nowadays if I indulge in a bubbly beverage my go-to is Diet Coke. I am a grown up now, and I actually like the taste of Diet Coke.

Let's  rewind to circa 1987-1989:  I would never dream of touching a diet beverage!  My favorite during my teen years was either Zeltzer Seltzer or Original New York Seltzer.  I loved the variety of flavors that I could buy.  I would walk to the local drug store after school and buy a bottle at a time.  If you wanted to court me - you wouldn't bring me candy or flowers.  Instead, bring me a seltzer & maybe we could chat for a bit!  Yes, I enjoyed these drinks THAT much!  I wish that these flavored Seltzer drinks would make a comeback!

Please tell me that there is somebody else out in the world that remembers this sweet elixir!  I found it odd that these babies were sold in a 4 pack instead of 6 and if I were to indulge & buy more than my usual 1 bottle - I would switch flavors so that I could enjoy 4 different flavors. Thankfully, the checkout clerks never minded when I did my little switcheroo.  I wasn't loyal to any particular flavor.  I LOVED them ALL.

Wheels!

When I first learned to roller skate, I used skates with METAL wheels.  Yes, I am that old.  I loved graduating to rubber wheeled skates.  Many years later I moved on to Rollerblades.  I even know how to ice skate very well.  It all took some time learning.  My new venture will be learning to roll on Heely's!  Exciting right?  My niece owned a pair when she was little and they looked like so much fun.  I have been selected to try out a pair of my very own Heely's and I can HARDLY wait to get them!  Stay tuned!  I may even be brave enough to post a video of my adventures online!
