Summer Time is Coming

Today the weather is fantastic. A mild 60 degrees, sunny, no wind. For those of you that have lived here before you understand. One day winter, the next summer! In fact, while it was horrible yesterday, today is just the opposite. In fact, just a few moments ago, the ice cream truck came tootling into the cul-de-sac, much to the children's delight. Don't you remember that sound from your childhood? The sound that made you think your parents would for certain give you the 50 cents to buy a treat? Only to be reminded that you just had ice cream 30 minutes ago and no you cannot have ice cream now. Why do we as parents have to be the ones to dissappoint them? Why couldn't I just tell them of course you can have $3.00 to buy a popsicle. Perhaps it was that I knew I could buy a dozen popsicles for $3.00. I realize it's not the same as going up to a stranger in a big blue truck that plays special music! Next time I am sure I will give in to their childhood desires...and maybe even mine. I really do enjoy ice cream sandwiches. Especially the ones that come from come from a stranger who drives the big blue truck that plays special music!
