I find it interesting where Casey grew up. My aunt/uncle/cousins (whom we visited often), had a custom home on Bear Claw Way - just a street or so beyond Bear Creek Circle. Does Casey know LaVar and Kathy Jones and family?<br /><br />We live in Tyler now, and I can tell you that the thing I love about Blue Bell is that they still sell 1/2 gallons for a good price (when it's on sale), and their ice cream is denser than Dreyers or Breyers, so I feel like I get more for my buck (and I do like the flavor too).sbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000312414687403825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-39812660426695278962009-09-22T19:19:57.582-05:002009-09-22T19:19:57.582-05:00Oh man, I didn't realize that Casey's pare...Oh man, I didn't realize that Casey's parents left Tucson probably before you were even married, right? (I'm not sure of the timeline.) Sausage Deli is the best! UofA school paper would have the best coupons. And Eegee's! Italian Grinder, Crinkle Fries and Pina Colada Eegee. Yum!<br />It was 45 minutes from Casey & Quentin's side of town to mine. If you sped and didn't hit any red lights. With the nonexistant freeway system in Tucson it was all surface street traffic. Hope you guys love Austin! Texas is a great place.<br />JesslynJesslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419526534244244546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-86817990516045774642009-09-20T11:48:26.899-05:002009-09-20T11:48:26.899-05:00That squeegee is awesome.

Honestly, Eegee's saved Coyote a few times. People were ready to walk off and drive back to CA, but you get a nice big eegee's slush and things don't look quite so bad. <br /><br />Sounds like a pretty fun drive overall.

I always love arriving at the destination--M and I were just talking about when we got married and I drove 23 hours from PA to GA in the moving truck to meet him, while he was trapped at his job. Getting there totally made it worth it (and Starbucks made it happen!).
