Retro Lunching

After spending the morning on monastery grounds,

our bellies were a growling! 

So, we met up with Janie and headed to a

local diner/soda fountain for some eats. 

With our stools spinning,

we ordered up some ice cream for lunch.

My hips are thankful that this little retro eatery is not near us. 

Check out stage one of the girls' ice creams. 

The tall glass dishes filled with just enough space left

at the top for an inch worth of chocolate syrup.

Are you drooling, or is that me?

Smiling so hard that we lost sight of her eyes,

Little Bear dipped out mouthfuls of delight. 

Yep, this is how we roll. 

When finished, we aren't neat, nor tidy, nor polite. 

Clothes, hands, and chins are drizzled with sticky chocolate. 

With great intention, we throw our heads back in order to suck down every last drop of sweet,
melted good stuff. 

And the container of pimento cheese that I walked away with? 

It might be long gone, but it still causes my mouth to water. 

Soda fountain delici-ocity.

Thanks, Janie, for a super fun, Mayberry throwback lunch!
