There are not very many places left in our house that A E hasn't explored. He is a curious creature and gets into everything. Occasionally though, something new will catch his eye. Yesterday, it was the umbrella crocks turn. When things had been quiet a little bit too long (you parents know what I mean), I found him inside becoming one with the umbrellas. Now that he has discovered the umbrellas, it won't be long before they disappear I'm sure.
Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year? I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old. Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived. Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah? When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity. Maybe it felt so long because I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen. My parents were teachers and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone. We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house. I probably tried something different each time-...
