Life is for celebrating and all the employees at Rolling Green Nursery did just that when the owner had a milestone birthday a few days ago. Major kudos to Rick Simpson who pulled off a first-rate surprise for his wife, Beth.  And I was lucky enough to be on duty that afternoon when the call came in over employee’s radios. Come to a party on the far side of the property!

joy, oh joy…..

Happy Birthday, Beth!

Not only were two delicious cakes being cut for party-goers, Rick had another surprise for Beth and all of us.

And there it was….the Good Humor Ice Cream truck complete with the jingle-jangle music from days of yore.  There were bomb pops, creamsicles, drumsticks, ice cream sandwiches, fudgesicles, Snickers ice cream, klondikes, snowcones.

And there I was….transformed into an 8-year-old sitting on the front stoop licking the drips from an ice cream bar after chasing down the ice cream truck, quarter in hand.

And I couldn’t resist this:

HEATH ICE CREAM BAR
