I Love Popcorn!

9:31 AM


I LOVE popcorn!  It's one of my favorite snacks in the whole entire world! Growing up, every time we visited my grandparents, my grandpa would pop home made popcorn for us right when we arrived.  It has always been a family favorite!  During my teenage years, it was my specialty.  Whenever we sat down to watch a movie, or play games, I would make several big bowls of popcorn! 


One time, when I was about 4 (this is an estimated guess)  My mom made popcorn out of our electric popper.  Instead of popping it to eat, however, she set the popper in the middle of the room, left the lid off, and let the popcorn go EVERYWHERE! We ran around the room chasing the popcorn and thought it was the coolest thing EVER!  My mom always had great ideas for new ways to have fun.  So now you have a little better understanding of why popcorn is so special to me. 



Saturday night, I saw THIS!  We were at the Rydmans house on deputation in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.  Mr. Rydman had been Daniel's soccer coach in high school, and now is pastoring Central Baptist Church. 






 At first, when I saw the big container of popcorn, I thought maybe it was for looks, but then after supper they asked if we liked popcorn.  They said they eat it every night, and actually order it in 50lb bags!  When they pulled out their well used kettle, I was psyched!  They make their popcorn the exact same way we do!  It totally made my night!!!
