Lately we've had some typical summer weather here. Hazy, hot, & humid. Today was no exception, except there was less humidity and the sun was shining all day. Even though I'm out in it all day, I have no complaints. Winter is too long and I'd rather sweat then have to wear long johns.

While on my route today I heard a familiar sound. It was that of the ice cream truck. You betcha I flagged him down by the time he got to where I was. I bought a good old fashioned bomb-pop. For those of you that don't know what it is, it's a red,white and blue popsicle. Boy oh boy did it hit the spot. Not only that, it made me feel like a kid again. As I sat on the back of my truck enjoying my bomb-pop, I didn't have a care in the world. Some of the simplest pleasures in life are the greatest.

It's amazing how a silly little thing like a bomb-pop can remind you of the good old days of being a kid and put a smile on your face from ear to ear


BTW, I got my ice cream and you can't have none........you can't afford it, cause you on welfare..........want a lick?............................SYKE
I can't get Eddie Murphy out of my mind since that last thread about delirious

It was always one of my favourites Paul!

Gotta say, my preference ran to the ice creams, like this:

That floods back fond memories Paulie,once and a while its great to drift back to your younger days.Myself when a boy my parents could not afford holidays,so we used to holiday up my Grandmothers in London.As soon as we got there straight around the shops for a Bluebird ice banana flavour lolly,licking my lips looking at what I just wrote.

I love ice cream too Ed. It's just that this is what jumped out front and center at me at the time. Maybe next time I'll get a cone.

I like the ice creams as well, but for pure refreshment, you can't beat a bomb pop!

hey there's a DQ down the road from us, and the special treat for C once (or twice) a week is to go down there after a swim and dinner and we share an Oreo Blizzard. It's cool starting these 'traditions' hoping that they will give her fond memories of us (parents) when we're long gone.
