Sue, I smiled when I read this, because I have the same problem. No body in Texas knows what Maypo is and I have fond memories of eating it and watching the commercials.

Whoa! I haven't heard of Maypo since I was a kid in Indianapolis! That brought back some memories! Thanks!

Bluphrog, I know what you mean! I loved Maypo. Could not find here but one of our grocery stores did order me some in! Still have some to pick up.

"I want my Maypo" Been years since I heard that commercial. Unfortunately, my mom believed in home ground wheat and corn, an occasional treat was oldfashioned oatmeal. She said, just use syrup instead of sugar, same thing. HMMMM, I always wondered.

Someday I'll have to check Obies out. Hayloft, and Burkholders are my two favorites. I'll be making a day trip this week to Lancaster with three of my lady friends. We'll be shopping, catching a show at the AMT, and indulge in PA Dutch cooking.

Obie's is an experience EVERY quilter should have!!! One of my friends REFUSES to go in there after her first (and only) time there! We had an avalanche of bolts of fabric last time there when one of my friends wanted to see a bolt of fabric that was near the bottom of a stack of bolts in the middle of several stacks of bolts! Tried to "corrall" them before they fell and it was like a pile of domino's! All we could do was laugh since there was no stopping the tumble of bolts. Luckily the stacks were stacked on the floor!

Hayloft is a WONDERFUL fabric shop! They have a great selection and prices are good and if you belong to a guild, they give you a discount! I am going there on June 9 as well as going to Burkholders, Sauders, Zooks, The Old Country Store, and Bitty Kinna's - can't wait!

Prices are lower than any OTHER fabric store in the area!!! Guess why? They also sell handmade items on the second floor - a newbie in our group decided to go upstairs to see what was up there...when she got up there and looked down at the floor since it squeaked when she walked on it and saw the first floor through the huge spaces between the floorboards, she immediately came back down!

Thay also have penny candies on one shelf....never brave enough to buy any!
