This morning I took out some Jimmy Dean sausage for breakfast and I remembered I was so in love with him when I was a little girl. I couldn’t have been any older than 3 or 4, I was at my grandpa’s & grandma’s house watching the state of the art black-and-white TV when he would come on.
I bet those of you who are much younger than I am had no idea he was a singer long before he started making sausage and breakfast items. He recently passed away but he was my first crush, he and Miss Julie on Romp-a-Room were my favorites. Isn’t it funny how something as insignificant as having a breakfast sausage can bring back old memories? Listening now I don’t know what I was thinking but he was cute. As young as I was – I sure had stars in my eyes…
