When I was a kid, new snow meant one thing for me: I could get to make snow ice cream with my families. As soon as enough snow had______on the ground, my mother would send my brothers, sisters and me out to_____the new snow in mixing bowls, drinking glasses, soup cans—anything we could find. Then we'd bring all of the containers back to the kitchen.

_____ Mom poured the snow into a big glass mixing bowl, we kids would take off our coats, hats and gloves. Then we spread them throughout the rest of the house. Then we gathered in the kitchen where we could warm our feet next to the oven(烤箱).

Mom would take the big bowl of snow, _____some sugar and milk into it, and mix them all up. Then she gave us each a full bowl, and we sat around the kitchen table, eating snow ice cream. At that time we were very_____and didn't know pain or worry. Mom_____everything for us.

Those were rare, beautiful_____...frozen in time and memory. I haven't had snow ice cream for many years. There are probably many_____ for not eating snow ice cream nowadays. Even so, snow ice cream still sounds_____good to me. It sounds like kids warming their cold little______ next to the oven. It sounds like Mom mixing up something cold and sweet in the kitchen.
