I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream!
The ice-cream truck has been driving down my street regularly as of late. I realized after hearing the nostalgic song chime down the street enough, that I've never actually bought ice-cream from one!
We didn't really have one in the 'hood I lived/grew up in (until I was 13), so that explains it. But for some reason it's still such an incredibly pleasant & memorable sound, which makes me feel like a kid again whenever I hear it.
It was warmish today, so I was sitting/working with the front door open, and immediately grabbed $1 in quarters from my desk when I heard it coming. Thinking that wouldn't be enough, I stopped to fumble through my purse to get $2 more from my wallet. By the time I rushed outside, it was just passing our house...booo! Next time I'll get some dammit...next time!
