The Adventures of Super Kakie

This is a repeat post from my old blog because it's about me.

Pride of Dixie or as my family calls it - Dixie Craft Syrup established 1927 had a plant in Sheffield, Alabama and was owned by the Craft family who lived off the Tennessee River on what we called Donagon's Slew. Loren Craft was my Aunt Nita's best friend and the two of them together were quite a hoot. There was much laughter involved! They called each other every morning and every afternoon. there was no internet then and they had to discuss the latest radio contest clues in the morning and then in the afternoon they rehashed their soap operas or stories. I remember eating eggs and biscuits with Dixie Craft Syrup for breakfast at Aunt Nita's formica table and listening to the one way discussion of the latest clue to the money prize hidden somewhere in the area.  In the summer we would go out to "Aunt" Loren's lake house and swim or fish. I was in 3rd grade and had a crush on her son Alfred Craft. LOL

Dixie Craft Syrup has a plant in Jonesboro Arkansas and my daughters Tracy and Britney stopped for gas in Jonesboro. They asked the attendant if there was a store open that sold Craft syrup and told them the story.  It so happened the plant manager (or somebody with a key) was standing there paying for gas and he offered to open the plant. The girls were ecstatic! They bought syrup and headed on down the road! How odd for that to happen! I'm telling you I think God has a sense of humor. Every time I am near a store that sells Dixie Craft Syrup I buy a case or if my car is loaded to the gills I buy what I can squeeze in. When I lived in Atlanta I called and had a case delivered to my house! Dixie Craft has been part of my family for as long as I can remember. They make the best thick maple syrup for biscuits you have ever tasted. HINT: I fyou don't make homemade biscuits you can buy frozen homemade biscuits at Kroger or WalMart! Mary B Biscuits could fool your daddy! Your next problem wouldbe waiting for your case of syrup from the Dixie Craft Plant! I have a few extra right now so I might hook you up with some!
