Who was the genius who combined two of the most glorious delectables into one national holiday?
Of course every day should be chocolate ice cream day, but a national day leaves us with no excuse! Let's Celebrate!

    Sweet! (pun intended) :)
    Just yesterday, driving past an ice cream shop, I thought about indulging in the pleasure of a big bowl of ice cream just for fun. I'm trying to lose weight and have avoided ice cream. But I thought, it wouldn't hurt to enjoy it once with my Dear Daughters! :)

Add chocolate to that and you have it made!Thanks for the fun post. BTY I am reading your book and it is the best I have one for widows that I have read. Wish I had it a long time ago!

  16. The memory wall is such a sweet idea. As I read them I feel that each word is from their heart. There is something comforting about talking about the one we loved the most and lost way too soon. Thank you to the ladies that wrote in for June. Gail Reno

  17. widows and church. What a great topic for today. My husband was the pastor. Our church was wonderful, loving and caring. I felt wanted and protected but at the same time it was one of the saddest places to be. I guess that sounds strange. Church is still a happy and a sad place to be. So many memories. But God has blessed me greatly. Gail Reno
