The boys thought perhaps Gram might like a taste of the best soft ice cream in town, and asked her to meet us at Lugia's. It's something of a tradition for the three of us to end a week together licking our favorite flavor under the shade of trees in the side yard on the corner of Manitou and Spencerport Road.
I always get the smallest size they offer, which is huge. Half the time we end up bringing it home because its so much. This year they offer a king size - which must be half a gallon! Can you imagine a half gallon of ice cream on a single cone? You have to get a dish with it or it ends up on the ground. I know people who would eat the whole thing just to prove they can.
The board listing all the flavors above the window is huge. Mom and my sister got there before we did and had spent some time deciding. Death by chocolate, chocolate mint, bubblegum, tutti frutti, creamsicle and my permanent choice - soft chocolate. Soon we were sitting on benches licking away. We laughed at some of the flavors - licorice? Really?
Too bad it was a bit rainy. I should have worn a sweatshirt. And the rain brought the mosquitoes out. Kiel wore his beaver badger insect repellent, but we got bothered anyway. It was a quick indulgence. We finally gave up and headed for our cars. Nice way to end Gramma's stay and the boys were pleased she came out, even if ice cream isn't the bees knees for her like it is for the kids. Still, for a local watering hole, its not bad.
