Summer Snow!

I just went to Summer Snow for the very first time ever.  Yes, it took me that long.  No, I have no good excuse.  I went with Strawberry Daquiri and I learned that you really should get the medium because the small is just not enough :-).  I finally get how it's far superior to a snow cone.  I feel like I deserve my official Tuscaloosa native card now.

I didn't have any cash and was out of checks, so I took my change cup and stood in line.  Even though I was standing there in my work clothes, I felt like a Southern kid in the summer.  I haven't felt that way in ages.  The combination of those factors:  extreme heat, kids, spare change, standing in line, and waiting on a treat brought it all back.  I felt like it was 25 years ago and I was walking to Harco drugs with my Mamaw.  All I needed was a sprinkler to run through (or a washtub to sit in since sprinklers are too fancy for country folks).  My recent summers have been spent freezing while I sit at my desk in my overly air-conditioned office.  Maybe some secret Summer Snow breaks can change that.
