Ice Appeal--Their dad brought home this chunk of ice during yesterday's record-breaking heat-wave to make ice cream. Marsha Wilson, 3, sat down on it and remarked, "Thanks, Daddy. For the big ice cube." Her sister, Beth, 1 1/2, started trying to eat it. They objected when the chunk was chopped to fit the freezer, but like the ice cream.
