Chick-fil-A honours a Morristown lady and a long-time loyal customer
If you’ve been on Facebook recently, you might have seen a post that has touched many people’s hearts.
Beth Ann Smith wrote about her grandma, who died not long ago.
Her grandmother’s favourite part of the summer, she wrote, was when she could have a Chick-fil-A peach milkshake.
MORRISTOWN, TENNESSEE (WATE) — If you’ve been on Facebook recently, you might have seen a post that has touched many people’s hearts.
Smith says she has many fond memories of her grandma, Faye Rogers.
“The first thing about my grandmother that I think about it, after my grandfather died when I was six, when I would get sad or when I would get discouraged or be missing him, a sure-fire way to get me out of the blues was to play with flour. She would put me on the kitchen counter with a bag of flour and measuring cups and just let me play until my heart’s content,” Smith recalled.
Smith said her grandmother Faye was one of four children.
“Her oldest sister Merle made delicious homemade peach ice cream,” she said.
It was the gold standard for their family, and nothing compared to it, she said. At least until summer treats came to Chick-fil-A.
“After we discovered peach milkshakes from Chick-fil-A, my grandmother every time she drank one would take a big sip and the first thing she would say was ‘it’s like drinking merle’s ice cream through a straw,” Smith said.
It was the only thing she wanted for her birthday last year.
“Last year for her 97th birthday on July 28th, we took a cake, we took flowers, and she couldn’t have cared less about the cake or about the flowers. We put that milkshake in front of her and she drank and was so excited,” Smith said.
Beth Ann took a picture of her grandmother enjoying the milkshake, not realising it was one of the final times she’d get to consume one.
She shared the identical photo on Chick-fil-Facebook A’s page when they announced the return of the peach milkshake this summer. In exchange, Chick-fil-A offered Smith a package of gift cards so she could get as many milkshakes as she wanted.
“It blew me away that someone would go that extra mile,” Smith said.
A printed image of her grandma enjoying her peach milkshake in a peach-colored frame sat at the bottom of the box.
“When she died actually, there was one day I was missing her so much and I had the thought that there is no amount of flower in the world that could help me not miss her as much today,” Smith said.
However, there may be enough peach milkshakes to help her feel closer to her grandmother this summer. Faye Rogers would have been 98 at the end of July.
The US dollar was seen losing ground against the rupee in interbank trading on Wednesday morning as it fell by 50 paisa, with analysts linking the development to optimism surrounding the expected release of loan tranches by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to the Forex Association of Pakistan (FAP), the greenback depreciated Rs1.45 against the previous day's close of Rs206 to reach Rs204.55 around 1:20pm. The FAP's closing rate of the last session shows a difference of 87 paisa from that of the State Bank of Pakistan, recorded at Rs206.87. By closing time on Wednesday, the greenback was being traded at Rs205.50 in the interbank. Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan General Secretary Zafar Paracha attributed the international currency's fall to the possibility of the IMF releasing two combined tranches of around $1.85 billion instead of the initially expected single tranche of around $1bn. On Tuesday, Pakistan received the Memorandum of Eco...
The rupee, which has been on an upward trend for more than a week now, continued strengthening against the dollar in the interbank market on Friday. By 10:05am, the local currency had gained Rs2.15 against the dollar to reach Rs224, up 0.95 per cent from yesterday’s close of Rs226.15. The rupee had been on a consistent decline from July 15 and fallen to a record low of 239.94 on July 28. But since July 29, it has reversed gears and its value had risen by Rs14.15 till yesterday (Aug 4). The biggest hike was seen on Wednesday (Aug 3), when the rupee appreciated by a record single-day gain of Rs9.59 or 4.19pc. This major gain by the rupee has brought exchange rate stability as currency dealers feel that the fluctuations would not be as volatile as were witnessed in July when the greenback gained over 13pc in a single month against the local currency.
