another favorite thing of summer and actually all year long is...

ICE CREAM

my husband brought BEN&JERRY ice-cream home the other night & i have enjoyed every spoonful :)

It has been the most enlightening ice-cream i have ever had ;)

here is what's written on the container and on the inside--

Imagine Whirled Peace
"We hope this whirly mixture of toffee and cookies and fudge peace signs enlightens your bellies and souls and makes you ask what you can do to promote peace in your lives."

so the moral of this post -
