When I was younger my Grandma Rose was in the hospital on a
few occasions. We would go and visit her of course. I used to like to go to the
gift shop and look around. That is where I learned about Angel Mints. They are
kind of like the pastel mints that are sometimes called Dinner Mints or Dainty
Mints, but they are huge. They kind of
melt in your mouth, and they are so good.
They were something I always looked for when I was in candy stores, or
gift shops. They became harder to
find. So, I turned to my trusty
assistant Google, and found out where I can get some. I don’t know what is with
me and liking things that are really hard to find. I found out that their factory is in
Clearwater Florida. We were actually planning a trip to the Clearwater area at the
time. Fate? I think so! When we came down to Florida for Noah’s first trip we
went to the Angel Factory. I just wanted to buy some Angel Mints. I wasn’t
really interested in taking a tour or anything. I am not even sure they offered
one. I was so excited when I was able to
buy massive amounts of Angel Mints to have whenever I wanted. I bought a big box. Of course that was five
years ago, so those Angel Mints are long since gone. I still look for them on
occasion. I was able to find them at a candy store in Tarpon Springs. I was so
excited after looking for a while. Of course I could always just go to the
Angel Mint Factory again, since it’s fairly close to me now.
Every time I pop an Angel Mint in my mouth, I think of my
Grandma Rose. She always had mints for me when I visited. They weren’t Angel Mints but they were just
as good. It’s little things like that
which remind me of my g-ma.
