FizzyLizzy

It's not even Memorial Day and already our summer has been dealt a crushing blow. Our favorite DQ has closed. It was a perfect half-mile stroll down the creek from our house. We're lucky enough to have another great ice cream shop within easy walking distance, but the summer just won't be the same without that DQ. It was as much about the lazy walk through the lush, green park in the dusky shadows of a tropical summer evening as it was the anticipation of the Peanut Buster Parfait or Mr. Misty. First preschool, now our DQ--what's next? The West Wing and Vanilla Coke?
