Many of you know that I served a mission in Harrisburg, PA. Well, one of the things I grew to love while serving my mission was a little italian ice shop called, Rita's. On those humid Pennsylvania days, knocking on doors, there truly was nothing sweeter than getting a cotton candy italian ice from Rita's. Sadly, Rita's is an east coast thing, and I hadn't seen any here in the west. Well, sometime last year, a Rita's opened in Midway, and then one opened in American Fork! We were totally there for our free ice in Midway, and it was just as great as I remembered it.
Well, now we live in American Fork and can get Rita's whenever we want. I even went for a Rita's a few weeks ago because it turns out they give out free ice on the first day of Spring! So, one of my new friends, Megan, and her kids went with us for free ice. Megan is from Pennsylvania so she shares my love of Rita's. As I was growing to love the Rita's in Utah, I discovered that President Pugh's (my mission president) family opened the Rita's in Utah. What a small wonderful world.
Since Rita's is so wonderful, I had to go with my mission companion, Ashley Dewey. We had a fun time in the fall and went for a little italian ice. I do hope I can go again soon. Maybe I just need to do a little afternoon italian ice get together with some of my old companions. Now that is an idea. Okay, I know, I am rambling. But at least you know my love of Rita's now. Well, that about wraps it up for today's post! Tune in next time for "Pumpkin Patch & Painting."
