Blistering hot days...

Require a nice ice cold Coke Slurpee. I love Slurpees! On hot summer days, ever since I was little I would head up to the local 7-11 to get a Big Gulp cup filled to the Slurpee brim. Today it is nearing a sweltering 100 degrees in Colonia and I can almost taste the ice cold slushied soda. We have only one AC unit in the house, and that's not in the room I'm in right now. So my craving only increases as I write this blog entry.

Perhaps you don't know what a risk I take in admitting this to you all. The risk has nothing to do with the government or immigration; the risk can be summed in two words, a name really, one Mrs. Sarah Crow.

All of us have dear friends with whom we love to share fond memories. One day, a couple years back, when Sarah and her husband, Paul, were on their way out west, we made sure they knew to stop at In N' Out Burgers for the BEST (!!!!) burger, fries and shakes they cold ever have! Not only did they take us up on our recommendation, they were sure to call us on the phone each and every time they were eating to their hearts content. The cruel taunting didn't stop there. It has evolved into a scrapbook page...made just for me. (See layout below.) Well, Sarah, have fun making the second page on Slurpees.

By the way, does anyone know how to make Slurpees at home? I read online today that you can buy genuine Slurpee machines. I have a sneaking suspicion that probably wouldn't qualify for a special project. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep my fond memories (and Sarah's soon to be Slurpee page) and I'll indulge my craving when we get back to the States for furlough.
