Summer delights!

I am thinking of throwing together a slide show. Yesterday we buried ourselves in Ice Cream. We officiated at the opening of a Baskin Robbins shop and the owner spoiled us with umpteem varieties as well as slurpies. slushies and ice cream of every imaginable color. Amber won the" licking contest" and won a prize of...guess what? 2 quarts of Ice cream! Jason got a bit more spoiled as all the employees (girls in their shiny blue aprons) kept offering him endless samples. His healthy diet of steamed vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner, went slinking out the door for the evening. Today he is doing pimple control.

I have fond memories of our evening walks along the beach in Italy when the kids were little. The beach was great and all and we used to find all kinds of interesting sea life, shells and seahorses. However, I have to admit that the times the kids loved the most was when we'd stop by the local Cafe and their dad would pull out the money and they'd all get to chose their favorite ice cream. They waited patiently, drooling a bit and once they had theirs, they tried to make them last. Italians make it best, down to the last amaretto soaked raisen.

Of course, Teresa was overjoyed. Her ice cream maker has been in "cold storage" lately.
Well- check my blog tomorrow and there will be hopefully- a slide show!
