Emerson, Ivory, and Ice Cream

Today, my sister and I traveled to Brenhem to vista one of our close friends, one that you might as well call our older sister! You might ask why we drove all the way down there just too see a friend and the answer is, it is a half way point between Temple and Houston and it has Blue Bell Ice Cream! Ivory, our close friend, and her son, Emerson (that I clam as my nephew) are down from Kentucky visiting family and had to make sure they saw amanda and I before they left. We wanted an activity in which we all would enjoy and one that Emerson could tag along. I do have to say it was quite interesting to learn and see how Blue Bell makes their Ice Creaming and see the fresh ingredients that they put in their ice cream. One of the interesting things we learned is that if you buy Blue Bell icecream and it has a brown lid, opposed to a gold lid, you will pay a slightly higher price because it has more ingredients, such as fruit or cookie dough in it. Other interesting things that I learned today, was how big my Emerson has gotten. He was no longer the quite little baby, I once bottle feed, but now is instead he is a signing runner Amanda and I on our way to Blue Bell Ivory and Emerson with his hat Just being stupid.

After we had our Ice cream, we decide to get some lunch. We decided to eat at Casa ole, and arrive there around two o'clock, however, did not eat though until three o'clock, because of catch up talk. The only thing that reminded us that we need to order was Emerson, letting us know he was hungry. After eating we stayed and talked and played with Emerson a little while longer and then hit the road. I wish we could have had more time with them, but every one has busy lives. It is good know however, that no matter how long I go with out seeing or maybe even really talking to Ivory, we can spend five minute around one another and feel as a day has not passed since we last talked and feel comfortable with one another.

For the ride home, I entertained myself with a book from my favorite author, James Crawford. I am glad to say I am finally coughed up on his book, and I have loved every minute of it.
