Thursday Thirteen
Mood:

not sure
Okay so this whole thing started today with Diana Peterfreund (Author of the awesome book, Secret Society Girl) posting this Thursday Thirteen on her site and then my sister posted it on her site. So I figured, like the sheep that I am, that I would post one as well. Since I can't remember the names of episodes of tv shows that I watch nor are there 13 things I miss about college (I can only come up with two). I figured I would list the 13 things I miss about the town of Thurmont, MD. That is the town I lived in for 6 years before moving to Raleigh, NC. Just in case you are not familiar with its location...it is located about 15 minutes north of Frederick, MD which puts it close to the PA border.

Thirteen Things I Miss About Thurmont, MD

1. Chimney Rock in the fall.
2. Friday Night Horse Auctions at Eyler's Farm
3. Colorfest...home of the world's best pit beef sandwich.
3. The Country Kitchen Restaurant...where if you kill it...they will cook it.
4. Christmas Services at Eyler's Valley Chapel
5. Cunningham Falls (the largest cascading waterfall in the state of MD)
6. June is Unity Month...not in Thurmont it isn't
7. The Cream of Crab Soup at the Little Creek Side Cafe.
8. Living in a town with only two traffic lights.
9. My old neighbors Charlie and Phil, who I used to call Frick and Frack.
10. Covered Bridges
11. The High's Gas Station that still served Slush Puppies.
12. The Fireman's Parade and Carnival
13. My best friend Justin

Actually, the Thursday 13 started with Colleen (well, not originally, but for me). Pretty fun stuff!

And I miss those covered bridges, too.

Oh! And I've been meaning to ask you, what was the name of that cajun/creole place in State College you took me to?

Good God, what is a Slush Puppy?!?!

I will now proceed to spend the rest of the day trying to get the dual images of iced, blended puppies and cornmeal milkshakes out of my head. Thanks.

LOL You have never had a Slush Puppie? You have lived a sheltered life my friend. They are sort of like a non-alcoholic daiquiri. It comes out of a machine. Usually served at 7eleven's. The orignally only had a few flavors but I think now they have a few more. Check out their website http://www.slushpuppie.com/index.cfm
