Growing up in NY, we had a Mr Softee truck that made the rounds. Cherry ice with vanilla ice cream on top, boy that brings back some good memories!!
I've only seen an ice cream truck in my subdivision once or twice in the last year. Last time they came around, about 6 months ago!, I told my daughter to stand at the end of the driveway and wave to the driver while I went inside to get money. She waved, the driver waved back and kept going. I came out of the house and she was crying at the end of the driveway. We then chased the truck down the block, running full force. I'm sure any of my neighbors looking out the window thought there must be a fire or something. I told her never again. We just buy ice cream at Publix when she wants it. Fresher and cheaper!
