June is here! I'm so happy. We had a cold winter, and although it's still Spring, it's been very hot. I'm a Summer type of girl myself. I have never liked cold weather. I don't like the ice, the sleet, the slush, none of that. Give me sunshine, warm weather, and the ice cream.
Speaking of which, twice within in the past month, I have seen the ice cream man while I was out and about in my travels. Boy, the price of popsicles have gone up since the 1970's and the 1980's. Gone are the days of .50 and $1.00 ice cream treats. Now, it's $2.00 ice cream treats and $3.00 shakes. Talk about sticker shock! I broke down and bought a strawberry shake....for $3.00. Yes, you read correctly. Back in my day, that would have paid for my ice cream and about four or five of my closest playmates. Ah, the good old days.
By the way, the strawberry shake was sweet, maybe a little too sweet for my taste, but it was good :)
