Childhood memories.....Oh my, I ate something tonight that brought me back to a special childhood memory! For those who know me it will be No surprise this story is about ICE CREAM!
Do you ever wonder how true your memories are.....often I remember things and wonder if that's how it really was, or if that's just the way I remember it? My memory.....gravel road, pick up truck, Iron River General store, Grandpa Knapp, & Creamsicles(this cold treat gives me nothing but warm feelings).
It seems to me it was always just me & Grandpa going to the Iron River General Store. Maybe someone else was there, but I don't remember them with us. Grandpa was probably going to get the mail and Grandma wanted a break so he took me along for the ride. I can remember browsing around while Grandpa did what he had to do....thinking the whole time, I wonder if he is going to ask me if I want a treat? Of course I would never think of asking, but was probably glued to the freezer where the ice cream was kept. Grandpa being the GREAT Grandpa he was would ALWAYS ask me, "would you like a treat"? I'm sure I NEVER said, "NO", or "NO THANK YOU"! I don't remember him asking me what treat I wanted, just "would you like a treat"? We would hop back in the truck each with a Creamsicle in hand, and head back to the farm. The short drive gave us just enough time to share our treat together, and as I remember it, no one ever knew!
I hope this gives you a chance to think back to a favorite memory of yours, it's a great feeling!
P.S.
If you are reading this, and you were there, and you know the truth, and it's different from what I remember.....PLEASE DON'T TELL ME....I want to keep my special childhood memory! THANK YOU!
