You may not be able to grab it by the lapels every day but you can have ice cream every day. My mother always said my ice cream compartment isn’t full. Always room for dessert.

My niece and nephew claimed to have two stomachs… one for dinner, and another that always had room for dessert. 😉

Seeing the menu of ice cream selections spun my head (doesn’t take much) into the past! Dan Smith’s Dairy! Giant banana split (a dare in a large trough) called “Pig’s Dinner.” Many scrumptious toppings. I just don’t remember squiggly “n” and “g” on the choices. I can’t remember hearing or reading of nut allergies/reactions/deaths in the wondrous days of yore.🤔

I’m guessing the activity of these past days, Adrenalin boosted, might set a person up for a subsequent crash? Rest is good. Giving oneself permission to do so? Also good. A serving of Salted Caramel Pecan could help. 🙃

For this reader it’s so good to have you back, testing the fit of the artist’s saddle. I soon expect the sound of galloping hooves! (ps: I favor that sound as I grew up listening to AM radio theater of The Lone Ranger - always coconut hooves of varying gaits 😬) And today we get small doses of Gail-speak on some posts. Yay! (No intended comparison with galloping hooves...) All the best!

"Pig's Dinner" Seems to me there might have been a better name choice! 🤔

Wouldn’t fly today but then - 50’s - that area had lots of farmers. Pigs included. “Call a spade a spade,” summed up the speaking style for folks from that area. 🤷🏽

There were regular sized versions that were called “banana splits.” A rose by any other name is still a rose.

T-shirt: “Sometimes I just stay inside, because it’s all too peoply out there” 😁

Also, it's ice-creamy in here.

Just sayin'! 😉

A friend once gave me the phrase, "It's a mood. It will pass." 👍

I've yet to have ice-cream today! 🍦

I read that: “It’s a mood. It will pass. Have ice cream today.” 😂

That’s a wise friend.

It does feel to peoply today for me too. Think my introverted self needs to refuel. I would like to start that process with the first choice in each column of the ice cream board:

1 scoop banana cream pie

1 scoop lavender honey

1 piña colada

TO GO please. Must eat in hibernation 🍦🧸

I've yet to try any flavors from Frozen Frog. They all sound delicious!

Peoply... I like the word!

Who’s ready for a good chuckle?

My brain is so brainwashed related to the heart 💜 icon, that I tried several times, unsuccessfully I might add, to mash the heart below the 🥶 🐸 image that Typist shared with all of us... 😂🤣😂

What does that tell you about conditioning?

Pavlov’s 😊🕺🏻’ing in ☁️😇☁️ right now having a 🎈🎉🎈... 😉

Happy to hear Typist is human and simply an Everyday Hero and NOT Superhuman... 🦸🏻‍♀️

Just saying... 😏

I am smiling about your attempts to mash the heart onto my photo. 😂

The delight of being ordinary!
