Sugary Drinks

Insert Coca Cola logo (this function isn't currently working).

Today was one of those "afternoon slump" days. I'm helping out in the building I supervise, where we clock employees in and out by scanning their badges as they enter or leave for the day. It's not a particularly demanding task, but my eyes get tired looking at old, fuzzy monitors.

I walked over to the maintenance building and grabbed a half glass of Coca Cola. First let me say, I rarely, if never, drink soda. Can't stand the stuff.

But today, this Coca Cola reminds me of sitting on the porch of my grandparents' suburban home. Every afternoon, when I visited them on vacation, we would enjoy one bottle of Coca Cola and a Reese's peanutbutter cup. I was terribly indulged!

My grandmother loved petunias and she always planted a circle garden full of them around the flagpole in front.

We read and discussed the newspaper or chatted about literature.

The sweet, sweet summertime...in Penfield.
