Dirty Family Secrets
I had hoped for more than 3 days.
I had bought a used Margarita machine a few months earlier. It had a dual hopper, and I loaded one side with slushes for the kids, and the other side with something for the adults, usually Strawberry Margaritas, Rum Runners, Peach Bellinis or some such concoction. I kept it running in the garage, next to the soda fridge, and I'm certain it was one of the other reasons that our house was so popular with the kids, and some of their parents. It seemed a little extravagant at the time, a $1000 toy that we'd use a few times a year at parties, but as a pool-side addition, it was a huge hit, and a worthy investment.
