One of the earliest memories I have is going to the soda fountain of a big hotel in our home town with my mother.
It was one of the very few times that I spent time alone with her as a kid since she had four other children.
I must have been about five years old.
The soda fountain had deep blue granite-like counter tops and one sat on round stools that swirled around.

My mother ordered a vanilla milkshake for me.
Truly, it was one of the most delicious drinks I had ever slurped through a straw!
Whenever anyone ended up in the hospital, my mother always brought a vanilla milkshake when she went to visit. Always.
It's a sweet tradition that I've carried on in my own life.
Recently, after a medical procedure, I relaxed at home.
My daughter came to visit and guess what she brought?

Yup, a vanilla milkshake from Ben and Jerry's provided a very delicious treat indeed.

Rosezeeta,

..Hi Susan.... my Mum loves vanilla malted milkshakes.
I loved my Mum's fairy cakes when I was living at home. I used to make them for my children, too.
Now we are all dieting.... maybe a connection ?? ...... Noo....

Perky pacs (ice cream) and potato chips every Friday night and then maybe a drive in movie to boot! Friday was pay day for Dad!
Teenage Barn and candy bars! My mom would send my sister and I down the hill to the corner store where we got to choose a whole candy bar for each of us. Back up the hill to enjoy Teenage Barn and candy bars. What a treat that was.
What lovely memories. =)
Blessings,
