Katie's parents are coming home from their mission tomorrow, and we've been spending a bit of time in their house getting things cleaned up and ready for them. The other day, as I was cleaning out some of the cupboards, I found a bottle of some generic brand daytime cold and cough syrup (DayQuil). It expired some time in 2003 if I remember right. Now we've got plenty of expired medications still lurking in our medicine cabinets I'm sure. The unique thing about this was that it rattled when it was shaken up and there were big lumps coming out of the surface of the syrup. I drained the syrup and discovered that whatever was in there was too big to fit through the opening of the bottle. We cut into the bottle with a knife and found this:

That's right: Cough syrup crystals. We're going to quit school, quit work, sell them on ebay, and go live in Park City in a mansion eating grapes and lobster for the rest of our lives.

Just thought we'd let you know in case you want to come up and stay in one of our many guest houses we'll have.

I thought you were gonna say you found a quarter in the bottle.

Can't you chisel it and form it to look like Mary, and then you probably could!

Too bad you already bought Katie's ring. You could have set one of those crystals in a gold band for a lot cheaper!

The orange tint is especially lovely... gee Brett... why didn't you get me a ring like that?

Feel free to give the Gronemans a timeshare in your Park City neighborhood. We'll take the fall, please.
