do any of you remember when i won that big ol' ice cream party last summer compliments of edy's? well, let me share a conversation the hubster and i had less than an hour ago.
hub: "oh yeah..i forgot to mention the homeowner board (of which he is a member) set a date to do another ice cream social." (sidenote: apparently the ice cream "block party" i won last year was one of the most successful neighborhood gatherings in recent years)
me: "sounds fun. so they're actually springing for the party this year."
hub: "i guess so. i'm assuming you didn't win this year since we haven't heard anything."
me: "i guess not."
fast forward 45 minutes. hubster is gathering the trash upstairs...i'm in the office doing one last e-mail check.
i open my e-mail account...and lo and behold...there it is..."congratulations!" yep...that's right...i won a whole boatload of ice cream for a second year in a row. are you kidding me?! a big thanks to the folk at edy's for the slow churned neighborhood salute contest. if the ice cream doesn't arrive in time for the official neighborhood shin-dig, our fam will just have to host our very own ice cream party of sorts with a not-so-small number of our best ice-cream lovin' friends and family. seriously friends...you really should check this contest out next year...perhaps i'll actually remember to blog about it then to remind you!
incidentally...edy's slow-churned is my favorite ice cream...smooth and creamy...not too sweet but no "lite" aftertaste....the perfect end to a summer's evening. (and they didn't even pay me to say that!)

Wow! I so love ice cream. Sounds like just about the best party ever. I did have a chocolate party, though, and that was great. I will have to see if I can find the slow churned Edy's near me and try it!
Can I come, too???
Congrats, girl! Funny the way things turn out sometimes, huh...
Ooooo, you lucky girl! That is so awesome! I can't believe you won twice, you go! Enjoy!
I have to tell you...I read your post last night and then I proceeded to dream that I had won ice cream too! Excpet it, was everywhere and I was frantically running around trying to stop it from melting. Hee Hee
I'm sure the real thing is much better and much more relaxing.
Hugs,
Sarah :)
That is so fun. And TWO years in a row!!!!
