Being from central Iowa, we didn't have a mountain to slide down. But we did experience epic (for us) sliding down "Suicide Hill" in Sunset Park. And we always came home to Cocoa. My mother made up her own liquid concentrate to be added to hot milk (this was 65 years ago before so many commercial mixes were available). Ours was strictly a marshmallow topping family. Guess it's time to make up some hot chocolate. I'm skipping the sliding--even if there was snow here, I'd pass. Thanks for the reminders of winter fun.
