...We All Scream for Ice Cream! by Weezilou

...We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Jim (from Paris, Texas), Jerry (from Portland, Oregon) and Ken, in front of the ice cream parlor in Lunenburg. What's a husband to do while their wives scour all the nearby shops?

We joined the crowds at this morning's farmers market, waited in a long line at the Riverport Firehouse for the Canada Day Fried Fish lunch, gave up on that and had lunch at the Dockside restaurant http://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2010-06-12, bought chocolates at the new chocolate shop that opened today, and came home for an afternoon nap. After traveling & sightseeing, we were *all* worn out! For dinner, Jerry's wife, Marlaine, made us a fabulous stir-fry with one of every vegetable bought at the farmer's market this morning...we've got a fabulous cook in our midst!

Now, long after all have turned in for the night, I'm so committed to 365 I had to post a photo for the day, but miss so much looking at pictures & responding to comments. Know I've seen and enjoyed them all, and will make it up at a later date. Big day tomorrow...we're celebrating three birthdays! I have to make a cake to go with that next round of ice cream!
What a great shot of the guys! Once again, it sounds like you had a wonderful day and are keeping yourself busy! Don't worry about not being able to comment. I'm just glad that with all you have going on, you still have time to share your wonderful adventures and photos with us!

I somehow am reassured that we will be able to keep up with each other next year. You are one busy girl but it sounds like you are having a wonderful time and the year is just starting to ramp up for you. I don't know how you do it but I am impressed! I think the afternoon naps probably help. I really need to learn to do that!

I noticed the red, white, and blue shirts... I have USA independence day on the brain. A perfect summer day photo!

I didn't even notice the red, white, and blue shirts until Gayle pointed them out! This pic fits the theme! Red/white/blue AND ice cream! That's All-American! (well, I know other countries have ice cream, but in the USA we really love our ice cream!)

Oh Louise, I just don't know how you find time to sleep with all you have going on...I thought I had it tough trying to find time to sleep! Enjoy your triple b-day tomorrow. Cake and ice cream sounds great!!

I bet the guys have no problem filling the time while you gals are in the shops! Sounds like you just had another amazing day....do you ever just have a soso day with mediocre foods and boring friends? hahaha
July 2nd, 2010  
the fellas have the right idea! cute shot!
July 2nd, 2010  
Great shot! You can't go wrong with ice cream...one of my favorite foods!
July 2nd, 2010  
Louise, I just love how your pictures capture all of the people in your life! Now, I have to say, I've committed myself to some sort of aerobic exercise every day that I'm on Maui this summer (and I still haven't shed a single pound!), but listening to all of this yummy food talk, how are you keeping the weight off?!!?
July 2nd, 2010  
cool way to pass the time!
July 2nd, 2010  
haha awesome way to pass the time! I must say, I'd probably be there eating ice cream with them rather than shopping ;).
July 2nd, 2010  
this is great, it reminds me of shot parents would take of their kids. All in a line, all with smiles and with ice cream. Kids usually don't like shopping either lol. It's great they haven't lost their "inner children"
July 2nd, 2010  
Wow--you must just be "the" house for company! (:
July 2nd, 2010  
Ha--Sare's comment, yes, they do look like little kids lined up--heehee
July 2nd, 2010  
What a great shot!! Boys will be boys! I'm screaming right along with them for some ice cream.
July 3rd, 2010  
Sounds like you had an exciting day!! What a fun shot to cap it off! ;-)) Three birthdays today?? Looking forward to your photo! ;-) I've been pretty bust lately, too! The house is coming together, and we've been shopping around for furniture (and not only ;-)) We already got a little desk and a dining room set. I am looking forward to moving in soon!! ;-)) However, I relaly miss spending time on 365! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up after the holidays... All these late nights are starting to have their effect on me - I can't stop yawning! Have a wonderful weekend and sweet dreams! ;-))
July 3rd, 2010  
Wow, that sounds like such a fun day, Louise! I love this picture - it's cute how they're all leaning against the side of the shop... to me that emphasizes the feeling that they are waiting for their wives.
July 3rd, 2010  
Can you please teleport some of that ice cream! I am sure it was delish!
