Day154 - A blast from my blueberry past

Monday, June 2, 2008: My house: Pomegranate Blueberry Ice Cream

One thing I remember better than most is eating Turkey Hill neapolitan ice cream with my pop pop. It always was Turkey Hill brand. Everytime. Even if it wasn't neapolitan, from which I always nicked all of the strawberry, it was ALWAYS Turkey Hill.

And trust me, I wasn't the only one in love with it. When I worked in at a grocery store through high school, people would become ruthless when it went on sale. Cut throat even. Rain checks were never good enough - we would eventually sell out and everyone would be angry. Ofcourse, this was back when the container were cylinders with gold lids, not the current oblong shape they are now. Ah, memories.

We tried this:





It was really, really good. Better than I thought. Yum.




I would probably think it tasted good even if it didn't. It's the name that gets me everytime.

Day123 - Now that is a jacket

Friday, May 2, 2008: Bellefonte: Camera.


Yep, I bought another camera. I couldn't help it: it was $1 and too cute.




What makes it special and appealing to me is that although you cannot focus, you can change the f-stop. It is the weirdest little thing. The only control you have on focus is a second ring next to the f-stop that gives you distances. I can't imagine that the camera was that successful in it's production.

Also, the shutter is jammed. We gave it the old HomWest Try (TM), but I think that we may have made things a little worse. Maybe I'll give it to my dad to take a whack at.

If nothing else, I will put it on a shelf in front of my computer and I will stare at it and admire it's eccentricity.


Troy bought this jacket. I love it even though it is loud as hell. He needs a straw hat and a false sense of modesty to complete the trip back to 1954…





That night we went with Yana and Allen to a party in Boalsburg. Thanks for the night out guys! I will post a picture as soon as I can still one from Yana!
