Peace, love and ice cream

= Ben & Jerry's.
We finally had some warm days here. Two in a row, I think. I was loving it but the natives tend to get the vapors, as we call it in the South. We had been in the car a while and Sean was suffering and had a headache. I suggested a stop at Ben & Jerry's for some ice cream.
We got the Fish Food flavor. It has chocolate ice cream, marshmallow and little chunks of fair trade chocolate in fish shapes. It was sooo good. I don't usually like stuff in my ice cream. I find it odd to be chewing on something so cold that it hurts my teeth while I'm really trying to enjoy something smooth and creamy. But the chocolate fishies were not freezing cold, and they were delicious.
They aren't paying me to say any of this. We didn't even see Ben or Jerry anywhere.
I realize it does sound like a pitch, but honestly, we just really liked it.
Fish Food ice cream and a cup of ice water.
It was exactly what we needed.
I've been to the Ben & Jerry's in San Fran, but the Gig Harbor B&J is pretty cool. They have a foto booth that takes a few frames of photos and uploads to Facebook. If you become a fan of them on FB, you can share your pics with your FB friends. We enjoyed goofing off with that for a few minutes.
I didn't get a picture this time of the cows outside, but they are big, and black and white. I was hoping this car outside was a VW van, but we had to settle for an old VW Bug. Still fun.
Sean liked the peace sign spray
painted on the hood. We had a '74
VW Bug when I was a kid. I drove
it when I was old enough. Ah, them
was the days...
Yesterday was about 82 degrees here and I guess God realized these natives just can't handle that kind of heat. Today it's gray and currently 59 degrees. (Some people say cloudy, but I say gray. Cloudy means you see patches of blue sky between clouds. There is no blue. It's just gray.)
High of 72 expected today. Whoo hoo. Summertime in western Washington.
Hope you get some peace, love and ice cream wherever you are today.
