This is the best thing about my sister moving back home last weekend. We were given my dad‘s debit card and told to go get ice cream and I gotta say... I think we delivered. 😂 The cashier asked if we were high. #nothighjusthungry #blamethepregnantsisterinlaw

Cinfhen Wowza!! So many awesome choices 🍦🍨🍧🍦🍨🍧 6y
blithebuoyant @Cinfhen Dad said go get ice cream and take my card 😂 We didn‘t hesitate lmao He sent us with a whole shopping list! 😍 6y
CouronneDhiver You‘ve probably got it all covered. 😂😂😂 6y

Some of us went for ice cream again after the book club ☺️. No, no sweet tooth here 😇. Chocolate chip mint in a waffle cone 😎👌🏻. Oh yeah! @BookBabe #LitsyLovesIceCream 😋

TheLudicReader Haha. I was gonna say that's a great collection of short stories. I love Dunmore. I am a chocolate girl. My kids always tease me. 7y
Reecaspieces Did @BookBabe drop hers again???? 7y
MrBook @Reecaspieces Yeeaah, she did. We laughed about it, and she got another scoop in a bowl. 😆 7y
Reecaspieces @MrBook poor girl. She needs to eat with a spoon!! She hasn't mastered a cone yet! 7y
MrBook @Reecaspieces The right cone is out there just waiting to be discovered by her. 😊👍🏻 7y
Reecaspieces @MrBook oh yeah!! Great excuse to eat ice cream!!! 7y
BookBabe @Reecaspieces 😂😂 Yup. I don't know what to say. 🙈 7y

After #BookClub, at @MrBook 's suggestion, some of us stopped at a little local ice cream joint, basically unchanged since the 1950s! 🍨 I had a double scoop cone of cookies & cream and cookie dough, with chocolate sprinkles, in a chocolate chip cookie cone. 🍦 (Or at least I tried to...see @MrBook 's post for elaboration 😂)

ApoptyGina69 You're going DOWN, cone!! 😂 7y
batsy Cookie dough ice cream is my favourite, and I can't believe there's a chocolate chip cone to go with it 😍🍦 7y
monkeygirlsmama We have those all over where I'm from in PA, and we always called them Dairy Isles. My husband makes fun of me to this day because none that he has ever seen up there actually was called The Dairy Isle. 😆Be that as it may, I miss those places. They always have the best soft serve and unhealthy fried foods you can want. Heehee 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 7y
BookBabe @SharonGoforth Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! 😊👌🏻 7y
BookBabe @ApoptyGina69 Lol! Your comment made me laugh so hard! 😂👌🏻 Perfect! 7y
RadicalReader @BookBabe nothing more intriguing than a chocolate chip cookie cone! Seriously wondering when stores will inherit the concept of delicious desserts and stock their shelves with this delicacy 7y

Spotted in a back alley on my morning walk. When will it melt?

melbeautyandbooks This is so funny! 😂 8y
Lindy @melbeautyandbooks I want to know the story of this cone. Who dropped it? When? 8y
melbeautyandbooks @Lindy Yes I do, too! It doesn't look like they even got to eat much of it. 8y
Lindy @melbeautyandbooks My dog was very interested. Smelled like a good snack to her. 8y

rubyslippersreads @Ebooksandcooks No, if you run out of ice cream, that's a problem. 😄🍦 8y
Megabooks @Texreader My dad bought the vanilla when he was helping me unpack and polished off half or it in 5 days! @ScrappyMags @Alfoster I'm totally in!!! @rubyslippersreads That is a huge problem!! Can't let it happen. 8y
KilgoreTrout I bought a chest freezer simply so I could ensure I always had a good supply of ice cream on hand! 8y
Christy2318 You can never have too much Blue Bell. 8y
