Grab A Spoon And Meet For Ice Cream

A group of us from church through Facebook got together Monday night just to eat ice cream and chat. Nine of us met in the parking lot of a Giant Eagle near me (else I would not have gone) and went in together to buy a pint of ice cream each. When I saw the instructions to buy a pint, I was picturing a half gallon which is what we usually buy for a week! I thought no way would I eat a pint but then I saw a pint was very doable and served as my supper.

It was difficult choosing what kind to get because the Turkey Hill that I like best did not come in small containers. I ended up with some brand that started with an “H” that I never had before, but it was very good strawberry with actual strawberry chunks in it. I think anything would have tasted good on such a hot night. I was glad we were in the shade.

We brought along our spoons and lawn chairs and set up our chairs in a little circle at the side of the building where we chatted for about an hour and ate our ice cream. It was fun and no men were included—which was just as well because Gerard would rather watch the Red Sox game anyhow. We discussed a variety of topics including, family, camping, children, jobs, marriage, old people and of course, what flavor ice cream everyone had.

A little before 9 p.m., the sun looked like a big orange ball! I had to leave because I had my sunglasses on and if I stayed until dark, I would not be able to see to drive very well. Plus, unfortunately, I had to get up early for work the next day so wanted to get a good night’s sleep.

The temperature was in the 90s most of the day and even at 3 a.m., it was still 83 degrees outside. I checked to see if I could turn off our air conditioner, but left it on all night. It did make for better sleeping and the fireworks were finally over!

For me this is about as crazy as I get. What about you? What was the last time you did something a little crazy?
