I have walked by it nearly every morning for a year now and I never noticed it.
But this morning I saw it.
I asked Jack if he had looked at it before and he just said, "Yeah." He wasn't excited about it.
It's a drinking glass.
With blue spots.
But it has this label on it.
It once contained Harry Horne's Quality Peanut Butter.....100% Pure....from Toronto, Canada.
Wow.
I remember drinking out of glass 'tumblers' at my Grandma's house. They were a set that had hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs all over them. She told me that mustard had come in them. I remember her telling me that 'back in the day' lots of things came in glass 'tumblers'...and then you just kept them and used them. People were brilliant....'back in the day'.
I wanted to wash the glass....and I did carefully....because I didn't want the label to come off.
I like it.
There is another label across the back. It's pretty faded but you can see that it says '100% Pure' and 'No. 1 Sweet Virginia Peanuts'.
We won't be using this glass.
We will just admire it.
It will remind us of a different time.
When peanut butter came in glass tumblers....

We had those tumblers with the hearts, spades and clubs on them when I was growing up.
