Ice Cubes...who knew it could become an issue.
Loving our 1952 Cottage we have had to make a few retro life changes. One being, there is no water line for an automatic ice maker. No big deal right?
Truly it's not a big deal, but it did give me one of those Huh????? WTH moments.
The first issue was finding ice trays. I believe it is becoming one of those obsolete items. My first try was Dollar Store...you know...where everything is a dollar. Went in thinking "Yes, spend a couple of bucks and be on our way". Ummmm No! Now there were the little phallus shaped ice mold's for water bottles. But to me that would be irritating in a glass...the constant poking of the upper lip each time a sip was taken. On to Target, again no trays just the long rod mold's. To the drug store, grocery store one disappointment after another. Now the only place left is the store I hate with a passion! Wal-Mart! After the mile long hike to enter the store and then the dodge and weave through the aisles of massive carts attached to people, at last ice CUBE trays!
Several days later I hear Little Big Man H in the kitchen banging on something. I walk in and he has an ice tray in hand slamming it down on the counter. My first thought is WTH, is he angry with something or someone? Upon my inquiry, I received the most innocent face with the statement "just trying to get the ice out". Light bulb went off...this child has never in his 14 years of life had to use an ice tray :). After showing him how to twist and dump he smiled, giggled and confessed that was a much easier way.
So who knew an ice tray would bring a new experience!
