another generation of 'peach-ICEE-lovers'

Ever had a peach ICEE? I don't mean a slurpy. I mean an ICEE. The blue and red striped cup with the little white polar bear and the capital I-C-E-E letters? Mmmmm.... I have grown to appreciate them even more since my move to Texas 3 1/2 years ago. We have found some slurpy places here - Race Track, some 7-11s - but rarely can you find the real ICEE brand of slushy drinks. Two places that have the ICEE brand are the Wal-Mart off of S Cooper and Bardin Road in Arlington and the Diamond Shammrock that is off of Hulen near the Wal-Mart in Fort Worth. Well, it HAS been a great find to discover these, but we've yet to find one that has peach icees.

But guess where you can find them? RUSTON!! The Citgo (though it has just changed owners and I can't remember who the new gas station company is), always has peach ICEEs in the summertime! And, guess who also loves these peach ICEEs? Not only has Daniel joined the 'peach-ICEE-lovers' community, but our niece, Meredith, was initiated into the group this summer as well!!


"Mmmm...mmm....good. Thanks for the sugar, Gran-Gran!"


"More, please, Papa!"


"....all finished!"
