ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Today is Ice Cream Soda Day which is a wonderful summer cooler. The drink is comprised of a couple of scoops of ice cream and any flavor carbonated beverage. You can use any flavor of either. soda or ice cream.
Ice cream sodas are also known as Boston Coolers or floats and they are a great way to cool down on a hot day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There’s nothing wrong with me a little ice cream won’t fix.

One of my favorite ways to have an Ice Cream soda is to mix vanilla ice cream and root beer and make a root beer float. For years we’ve had a drive in restaurant in our area known as Dogs ’n Suds that features hot dogs, root beer floats and homemade fries.. It’s been there for over 54 years according to their website. They have car hops and window trays. One thing you rarely see anymore.
After some rain moved through early yesterday morning we really cooled down and have temps in the 70’s now. That is perfect for me but they say we are to expect more rain. It’s looking like yard work will be tomorrow. Thankfully that hot 90 degree weather didn’t last very long at all here.
Today I’m going to get out and do my weekly shopping and errands. We usually get ads on Tuesday so I checked to see what was on sale and made my list. A friend said she found some great things at the dollar store, so I’m going to stop there and check it out too. You really never know what they’ll have. It’s right around the corner from me and I really should stop there more often.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

ADVICE FOR TODAY
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate. That’s My philosophy.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Enjoy!
Awwww.... this post made me think of my Daddy. He loved sodas so very very much. He's been gone over half of my life now but it seems like just yesterday he was eating a soda... vanilla ice cream with red Crush soda on top. Have a wonderful day~ Andrea xoxo
Hubby and me were just talking about ice cream floats the other day. We agreed that although we like the root beer floats, our favorite were the ones made with coke. It is a refreshing treat indeed for a hot summer day! Glad your weather cooled down a bit, sounds like perfect summer weather to me!
My son does a lot of shopping at the dollar store. I like to go in there for greeting cards and paper supplies, always a good bargain indeed!
betty
Root beer floats always remind me think of my father, too! I think he called them Brown Cows? I was just trying to remember the last time I tasted ice cream; I think it's been 20-some years … high time to go buy a half-gallon of butter pecan!
I've found our Dollar Store has the BEST toothbrushes!
