for hosting this delicious day of.....ICE CREAM....yum!!
* WOO HOONESS !!
First of all, they made ONE TO GO....
Then, the little sweeties decided they needed more of a....well.....banana split.... 
*
...but....all at once.... after watching me with my trusty camera and snapping photos right and left...it dawned on them they should strive for pretty, too....so
ummmm, banana splits ARE so good... yes, they are...
.......but, sherbet has long been a favorite of mine...
It being fat free made me feel better about the................three bowlfuls I MIGHT have eaten ! ;O)
We can't EVER forget the infamous
After all is said and done....and lots of ice cream was consumed...
for always being there for us on
BLUE MONDAY...
and I quickly noticed while putting together photos for the Ice Cream Social,
a LOT of Blueness was showing up.....
*********************************************
*********************************************
I just spent a whole week, playing with 3 grand daughters...
their parents were...*gulp....on a fabulous cruise.
****
WELL....when these girls heard about the yummy
ICE CREAM SOCIAL.... they turned their house into......
*
*
* WOO HOONESS !!
First of all, they made ONE TO GO....complete with swirls of caramel...
and topped off with...what else....but M&M's...
*
Then, the little sweeties decided they needed more of a....well.....banana split.... now...these girls could have cared LESS if these ice cream treats looked pretty...
No Sir....they were going after delicious !!
*
*
*
...but....all at once.... after watching me with my trusty camera and snapping photos right and left...it dawned on them they should strive for pretty, too....so
things began to look up.....
I learned these twin grands of mine could make a
mean & pretty banana split !!
*******
ummmm, banana splits ARE so good... yes, they are...
.......but, sherbet has long been a favorite of mine...
the flavors of sherbet always seem so strong and refreshing without being overly sweet...
the twins like this, too....
*
*
It being fat free made me feel better about the................three bowlfuls I MIGHT have eaten ! ;O)
We can't EVER forget the infamous
COKE FLOAT...
I grew up on these mouth-watering treats and love them to this day !!
After all is said and done....and lots of ice cream was consumed...
I think my very favorite is still a good, old fashioned
COFFEE milk shake.....
*burrrp...oops...please excuse me !!

They all look sooooooo good. Sounds like you and the grands had a wonderful time with the ice cream. Great fun. Hugs, Marty

Hugs,

Thank you, BJ, for making me drool all over my keyboard!!!!!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Justine ;o )
Who could look at that and not immediately want ice cream? We took our granddaughters to Friendlys for ice cream because they don't have it in Canada. They were in heaven! But homemade is definitely best.
I think I gain weight just reading your post! I love ice cream and sherbert. Not a fan of bananas but the shake would sure be tasty! Thanks again for making me hungry! Have a blessed day!
I can hardly get of my chair I am so full! TY for having me over ... think I'll take a nap!!! TTFN ~Marydon
Oh Bj this was such a cute post... I know the feeling if watching the grandkids... whew!!! But Ice Cream does make everything better.... How old are the twins??? As far as Ice Cream month I think every month is Ice Cream month... ha ha
(((HUGS)))
Donna
YUMMY! I think I gained 10 pounds just looking at all that wonderful cool sweetness!
Hugs,
Penny
Ooh, yummy! Thats looks good and refreshing!

I see pecans on the ice cream - my favorite!! Looks like you and the kids had lots of fun. Sally
BJ you have me doing a mental note of what ice cream do I have in my freezer cause that is where I am heading as soon as I finish typing. I love ice cream. When I was at home, Mom made orange floats and Dad made root beer floats and I love them both. (of course I loved my Mom and love my Dad but I am talking about the floats)
BJ,
Looks like you and the grands had a wonderful time. I love ice cream and floats were a real treat when I was young. However, I was one that preferred Grandma's homemade ice cream. I even got to crank the ice cream maker. lol She used to make strawberry, peach and vanilla.
Thanks for the memories and you were making some great memories of your own.
Oh, by the way, Charley Pride sang, "I Fly Away," at the concert the other night.
Blessings,
Mary
Ooh, I want some - of each. ;-)
My favorite ice cream flavor is Rum Raisin, and my favorite sherbet is either lime or pineapple.
And, I do love mango sorbet.
Ice cream and grand kids, what a "grand" combination:>) Those treats all look so tempting, but Ice cream makes me blue when I look in the mirror and see my waistline melting into oblivion!
Yummy BJ!!!!! Your bowls of ice cream, cookies, and sherbet look scrumptious! So glad your grand daughter were able to participate! Who needs fancy cups of ice cream when you can just put it in a red solo cup and mix it with M&M's. ;)
Thank you SO much for participating in my ice cream social! It was a nice treat visting your sweet ice cream shop! :) XO,Jenn
This is fabulous, BJ!
I think I might have a Rootbeer Float in a little while.
Oh fun, and YUMMY!!!!! Now I have to go hunt down some ice cream!!!! I bet the granddaughters have a blast when they visit!!!!
♥ Teresa
Oh yum! How cute is that sign LOL. I just had some ice cream yesterday :)
All the best,
Allison
BJ you post the best looking food of all! It's always so yummy looking. :)
Okay, BJ now I need to go get some ice cream. Everything looks sooooo good.
God bless.
Hi BJ, all my grands have gone home today. I haven't had a minute to get on my computer. sigh. Even if I did my grands were on it. LOL. It is so quiet. My son came to pick up his kids which increased my 12 to 15. We took a two hour nap this afternoon. Mmmmm, it was great.
I love your ice cream post. I wonder if I have any left. This week I bought 5 gallons and it is all gone but a dab of vanilla. We went through lots of sprinkles too.
I know you had fun with your grands too. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy are children and grands.
I scrolled down to see your great grand baby Cate. She is so beautiful. What a treasure to love.
She is so sweet in pink. I love her photos.
I am so happy to have time to visit you my dear friend.
Love, Jeanne
I know that was so much fun for the grands! (I bet mom and dad wouldn't let them do all of that at home). Memories were definitely made, and I think you have buddy chefs. Looks delicious! Oh, but you made me want a coke float. It's been so long since I had one. laurie
BJ, this was so much fun. I know that you enjoyed this as much as the grands did. I am so full from ice cream, but thinking about sherbet makes me want some. I always keep it in the freezer. I am the only one here who likes it. Raspberry sherbet is my favorite.
TFS your wonderful ice cream party with us.
Well now, do you mean to tell me that you and those granddaughters had all that fun and yummy ice cream without me? Of all the nerve! Ha! Sounds like you had a barrel of fun and lots of delicious treats. No wonder they like your "babysitting"! Great post!
Love,
Martha
Yummy! I bet the girls had a blast making these ice cream concoctions. It was probably more fun that eating them. Well maybe not. Have a great week!
Wow, So much ice cream! RIght now I am sitting in front of the heater wishing for summer lol :P
I love the 'fairy dust' on your blog! how sweet :)
Rose
Oh the coffee and ice cream, and yes, I love sherbet too! Adorable sundaes the girls made! May be messy but very yummy stuff inside! The did well! Very fun to visit you the first time! Stop by! Lori

Hi BJ, I see you are still making those wonderful memories with your grandkids. NO WONDER they love being around you! How fun to have an ice cream social. PS Your great grandbaby is so beautiful, it won't be long before she's able to join in on all the fun!
Gee Thanks BJ,
I just gained at least 5 lbs just looking at all that wonderful ice cream and I love it. The grandkids can eat it and it doesn't show, that is "disgusting".....glad you all had a great time.
Happy Monday to you sweet lady,
Barbara
My very favorite dessert is ice cream, so you KNOW I celebrate ice cream month! Happy Blue Monday.
Your DGD's created the most yummy ice cream dishes. What fun. They were such a big help with your project. It's still early in the morning here, but I think I need ice cream for breakfast!
Carol
Oh dearest...I am in sugar shock but wow what a feeling!!! I'll take that coke float if you please...YUM! It's only 7:30 am and I'm already wanting some ice cream! Glad that you and the grands were able to share the delicious fun! I ate three bowls of lime sherbet last night and I have not one regret!! LOL!
Hugs,
Deanna :D
That looks wonderful, delicious and fun, fun, fun!!!
Yum!!! Now I need a scoop or two.
What a wonderful grandma you are. Happy Blue Monday!!
Hi BJ,
I think most folks like ice cream. I have no special favourite; somtimes praline and cream, sometimes strawberry, sometimes chocolate. Did I mention orange pineapple? Yes, I like them all! Happy Blue Monday.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh my goodness, BJ! Your pictures just made me so hungry!...Christine
BJ....you are in trouble, girl!!!! Are you trying to fatten us up? hehhe. Actually, I had a banana split on Sunday for the first time in years.....it was so good. Now, I hear the exercise bike calling my name!!!!
Happy Blue Monday.
Hugs, Barb
BJ,

What a charming post. I loved your photos and appreciate the time and effort it took to put this together for us.
Hi Again BJ
Just wanted to pop by and let you know I live way over in Northern Indiana! When I was in San Antonio last August at the Air Force base noticed TX had several DQ"s.In my city I'm sure we have 6 of them! If my memory serves me correctly the DQ near the base served tacos!! Will visit soon! Lori
Oh the coffee milkshake would be My favorite too! Although, nothing refreshes like a good old fashioned Coke float! I enjoyed my visit here today. Have a nice day. Twyla
It's noon and I can't think of anything else to eat but ice cream now.
Thanks for the calories BJ
Happy Blue Monday
Love Claudie

Be a sweetie, Dear BJness!
Shelia ;0
You definitely know how to make a "feller's" mouth water, don't ya??? It all looks wonderful!
Thanks for the nice comment you left for my first attempt at a "Christmas in July" tablescape.
I liked the "Great Scott" you began with .... We don't hear that enough these days, do we? Very expressive!
Bye for now,
Bill

Helen
The grandkids would do great working at a an old fashioned ice cream counter! Love the strawberry short cake idea too!
Oh glory...you got me at the float...I'm not much for ice cream but a float makes me HAPPY!!!!...if is has a chocolate brownie to go with it. Looks like you had fun...I can't wait for grandkids someday!
I LOVE Coke floats! Brings me back to my childhood. My little ones think I'm kind of stange when I drop a scoop of ice cream in my Coke!
Looks like a great time with your Grandkids!
Remember, "what happens at Grandma's, stays at Grandma's!"
Happy Blue Monday!
Mary :)
Yum, all that ice cream is making me hungry. The first one looks like what I will be having tonight but I'll have whipped cream instead of the ice cream. Love strawberry shortcake in the summer. Thank you for stopping by and visiting me.
Have a great week.
