Saved by Pop-Ice

I have come to realize that there are things that we take for granted. Simple things of life. I think air conditioning is one of those things. I suspect that I would be even more grateful if it were a blistering August day. However, I am thankful that even though it is June, the temps have been relatively mild, therefore when the a/c went out on Saturday I didn't have the urge to pass out. Only the urge to do absolutely NOTHING but lay on the couch under the ceiling fan.

Of course, being that it was the weekend, there was no way that anyone would be coming to repair it before Monday. However, it is now Monday and we still get to wait another day. Our saving grace has been the thunderstorm that rolled through this morning along with the ever present box of Pop-Ice! It is amazing how those little packets of frozen liquid can cool off even the hottest of bodies. Just a little ice, a little flavor and pure relief. I am beginning to think that I want to own stock in that company. Not only is it a summer staple but it has helped ease three hot children as well as their frazzled mother through three days of no air conditioning.

So to the fabulous company, Pop-Ice... I salute you!!
