Saturday afternoons are important and exciting for my husband and me. We have certain romantic traditions, and Saturday afternoon is one of the best ones. Even when the kids were little and lived at home, we always reserved Saturday afternoon for our little private tradition.

Yes, there’s nothing like a trip to the county dump, and a hamburger at Snow’s Drive-In, to liven up a marriage.

That shaved ice they have at Snow’s would make anybody swoon.

Especially if you eat it too fast. Whoa, massive brain-freeze there.

Ah, our weekly Saturday afternoon romantic county-dump shaved-ice brain freeze, plus onion rings. We are a couple of wild things, we are.

All marriages need their romantic traditions. And this one counts as both a get-away, and dinner.

I recommend it. Take a walk on the wild side.

Go ahead. What’s a marriage without these little thrills?
