ice-cream...

It is sizzlin' hot out there...and hard not to think about ice-cream. As I was looking through old photos...I came across this one from a very long time ago...

...three very sweet boys and their ice-cream cones! They happen to be my nephews...and liked nothing better than a chance to visit Chilliwack Milk Maid (which was across the road from our farm...back in the day) and come back with a cone. That was twenty-some years ago.

Milk Maid is long gone...as are the little boys...but some things never change!

Kids still like cones. If you have a cone in one hand...and a banana in the other...can it be called a banana split?

As you can see there are many ways to eat ice-cream...


...and down on the farm we think ice-cream is a great idea...any which way. Just be sure to check the packaging...and don't let them fool you into buying anything but the real thing.

Be a kid...have a cone!

Have a great day...

  1. I love ice-cream - all kinds - especially in cones!

    Have you ever had Cow's? Delicious! It's from PEI but I think they have a shoppe in BC.

    Of course DQ is good too.

    I love ice cream cones esp on a hot, muggy day.

  3. I had one yesterday after my exam! What better way is there to celebrate? Mine was from a place in town that mixes the ice cream and fruit/nuts/chocolate on a cold marble slab. I had the Snickerdoodle - it was decadent!

  6. Children and ice cream cones just seem to go perfectly together. Memories are so special, and it seems like the older I get, the more I treasure them. I like how you mentioned to read the box, making sure you get the real thing. I agree with you. Must be the farm girl in us.

Anyway...after a half hour of standing in line to pick up the burger...I was burnt to a crisp...tis very hot..moreso out your way I believe!!!

  12. Love your photos. It's nice to know that some things never change. I got a kick out of the little guy with a cone in each hand.

    You won't have to twist my arm to have a cone ~ especially if it will make me feel like a kid again :-)

  13. I think ice cream is a wonderful comfort food. Who wouldn't enjoy it? Yummy in the cone and yummy in the bowl. The kids look so cute and happy. I love it.
