Graeter’s Ice Cream Continues

I have been away again,sadly no Graeter’s Ice Cream this time either. Did I tell you Graeter’s does not use Chocolate chips in their ice cream. They have a yummy chocolate formula and carefully and slowly add it to the ice cream while it is churning,of course the ice cream is cold so the chocolate hardens in lovely yummy “chocolate chips”. But I digress!

The little tuff guy on the right,how cute is he!

The young man above in the glasses,both the same person. My dad,the guy who can fix anything,always around when anyone calls. Well it was his turn for a few days,he needed me. He has always had a special place in my heart,like all girls are with their dad’s. We watched some TV and talked some,it was good to have some time together. Early one morning I found myself looking at him in the bright glare of the ER lights, I looked closely at my pop,laying still with his eyes closed and a tear started. My thoughts began racing, I shook my head to clear those thoughts away. Fighting the tears I finally gathered myself together,and when my eyes focused again my dad was smiling at the TV. Waving the thoughts away while sweeping back my bangs,I found us both smiling and laughing at the dopey early morning TV. He is better now,bounding thru the day with the gusto of the teenager you see above. I was blessed to build on my childhood memories,of watching football together,and not really understanding the fine points of game,and not really caring, but enjoying just being with my dad!
