THE SEARCH FOR ICE CREAM

Well, MA and Chun left this morning; I hated to see them go because we had such a good time together.

Last night we had our last meal here. I'll have to say that I have really been pampered by my two sisters. They have planned and cooked every meal since we have been here except for the ones we ate out. Also, I did bring down a chicken casserole I had made and frozen, but other than that, that's the extent of the cooking I have done. I have cleaned up the dishes several times, but the kitchen is so close to the dining area that I almost feel like I'm still at the table with them while they sit around it and talk. Altogether, it's been very enjoyable.

Last night I was loading the dishwasher and I asked, "Who wants ice cream?"

Someone said we didn't have enough, and I answered, "I wasn't talking about here; I'm talking about going to the little store for some cones."

Well, we jumped into the car and drove over to the store only to arrive just as it was closing. So we turned around and started back. Then someone suggested we drive into Port St. Joe and get some at the Piggly Wiggly. So we all agreed this was a good idea and proceeded to drive the 10 miles over there, even though it was raining.

Of course, while we were in the store, we had to stock up on some other things (56.00 worth). And then we came back and had some great pralines and cream ice cream. What started out to be a little jaunt to get ice cream cones turned into a major shopping spree!

Oh, Well, it's little spur of the moment ideas that can be so much fun. We laughed and joked all the way over there and back.

And Rufus enjoyed the ride, too!
