A STORY ABOUT A VIDEO GAME . . . TOO MANY TO CHOOSE!

Figment is having a new monthly contest where we can choose your favorite video game and write a 1000 word story.

I'm having such a hard time choosing.  There are so many awesome ones that I can't decide.  There's Batman, Final Fantsy VII, Final Fantasy XII, Kingdom Hearts, even Goonies!  (Okay, that one ages my behind for those who remember the first Nintendo.)

Sigh.

So now I have the difficult decision of which one and what character!   Argh!!

O.L.L.E. HOW I LOVE THEE!!!

Today my family went to the park.  Not an unusual occurrence, true, but this weekend is special.  Today is the annual Frontier Days weekend.  There all various booths from out of town and local selling things  Community parade, games, competitions, and all sorts of things.

Every year,  for I don't know how long, my family waits for this event because of our favorite booth: the O.L.L.E. stand.

What is an O.L.L.E.? you ask.

It is a drink.  It's a combination of lemon, lime, orange juice (fresh from the fruit) with ice and maraschino cherries.  Or mana from heaven.

 With the sun beating down and the temp at 90+ degrees Fahrenheit (32+ Celsius), it is the most fantastic tasting thing.  So refreshing.

I drool thinking about it.

What's great is that they have cups that you can buy and then reuse every year.  It drops the price of a large drink by a dollar fifty.

Also, they have plain lemon, lime, or orange ades.  And you can get them sans cherries too for a more  tangy flavor.

Well, all I can say is that I'm dosed up on vitamin C.

And I can't wait to do it again next year!
