I hope someone can recite this about me one day. I think I've got the ice cream part down pat already. ;-)

I loved it, Rhonda! Yep, if we all lived closer to each other, we'd have to go out for a sundae once a month at least! I had some vanilla w/chocolate sauce today, myself! Hehe! Wish you could have joined me.

Hugs,
