Now, I have been thrilled to learn that the afore mentioned southern fast food franchise has established itself about 45 miles from my house! We have been once. We have plans to go next weekend.
I recently chaperoned an annual youth group trip. We just so happened to stop in the town of Blacksburg for dinner on the way back. I think that may have had so mething to do with the fact that I was the "lead" chaperone on bus #1....but who can really be sure....anyhoo....WE stopped in Blacksburg. Renowned locale for the wonderful establsihement of higher learning....VA Tech. It also just happens that this is the homestead of my dear brother and his beautiful wife and 3 children (who are adorable...just fyi). So I called them and asked if they would like to join us for dinner while we stop. I mean, we don't get to see them very much and I just consider each and every moment that we can spend with them precious and well almost sacred! I also asked that they do me a very teeny, tiny, really very insignificant favor for me. I asked them to bring me a Route 44 cherry limeade. Being the most wonderful people that they are, they did. I mean I NEEDED this limeade. I had been on a bus for almost 16 hours with 35 jr. highers...enough said! Can I get an AMEN?! Well, when they walked into the restaurant with my large and MUCH NEEDED drink, well people got upset!! It was almost riotous (is that word? it is now)!
Our youth minister and his wife (who is with child) got upset. My daughter and her friends got upset. I mean people were up in arms!!! Please people...ya gotta have connections! Sing with me now....."You gotta have friends....."
Well it just so happens that this past week our youth minister and his wife traveled to TN to see some family in failing health. What good people they are! OR are they? This is what I have received from them while on their mission of compassion.
yummy--was caption of the picture, as it was sent to me with evil intentions....

I think someone needs to be coming forward next Sunday while we sing, "What a friend we have in Chris and Mindy"

Too funny!
Note to self: next time you're at one of the THREE Sonics withing TWO miles of your house, DON'T take pictures of your cherry limeade and send it to Ellyn.

did they go forward as they should? this post cracks me up...i have read it to several people who don't read blogs and they got a good laugh too :)! since i grew up in oklahoma city, we know someone who works at sonic headquarters there and i think they should do something about this catastrophe!! 45 minutes is better than nothing, but come on...they'd be so popular in fairfax!
