Three years ago in 2007 I was in Indiana with Ruth Powers on May 31st, en route home from the SAQA Conference and Quilt National in Athens, Ohio. I had driven to Kansas where I stayed with Ruth and we went on together to Athens.
Driving back to Kansas we saw a lot of Midwest farm country and the weather was mostly clear and not too hot. My post on this date in 2007 was:Ruth Powers at Ritter's Frozen Custard, Indianapolis, IN. We stopped at a Ritter's in 2004 on our way home from Spring Market in Pittsburgh and have been drooling over the memory ever since. So, we looked up a Ritter's close to our route and stopped again. Last time the flavor of the day was Red Raspberry, which we think was better than the Black Raspberry w/choc. chips we ate this year. But both were delicious. Next time we'll call in advance and tell them what day they need to serve Red Raspberry 'cuz we'll be coming through!
I caught Ruth laughing, something we did a lot of, and sputtering ice cream.
And she caught me hanging onto my ice cream as if someone was threatening to take it away.
We loved this sign in the window at Ritter's, but it made us yearn for the company of our two white doggies - Grif, Ruth's Komondor, and Corky, the Poodle Prince. They also love ice cream!
It was a great trip and we had another planned for 2009, but then I developed some health problems and couldn't go - so we didn't see what Ritter's had on offer. The 2011 SAQA conference is scheduled for Colorado, so we may never make the trip to Athens, Ohio, again. We need to take another trip together, we traveled well together.
Hoku, the hummingbird, may take flight tomorrow. He/she was 21 days old today. http://www.ustream.tv/hummingbirdnestcam
