Odds, Ends and ICE CREAM!

This is one of the beautiful homes that lines Main Street in Coopersburg. According to the last census, it has a population of around 2500.

Last evening, Angie and I decided to take a nice walk to get an ice cream cone. There is a little shop up Main Street from where our grandmother lives, so we set out to get some. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they carried a lot of various Amish products and some bulk food type items too. And the ice cream was fantastic! It is Nelson's Ice Cream, and in googling it, I found that it is made with 16% milk fat...NO WONDER! Most ice cream is around 10%

Angie Griggs and I..... COUSINS!

Ice cream... need I say more?

According to wikipedia, "Coopersburg was settled in about 1730 and was called Freyburg, named after Joseph Frey a local tavern owner and judge, in its early years. By the time the town was incorporated, it had been renamed Coopersburg, after Judge Peter Cooper. The town was once the site of famous cattle sales at the estate of Tilghman S. Cooper."

Today we went to a doctor appointment for my grandmother. We were very happy to hear that they feel that she is healing nicely and they can't believe the progress. Thank GOD!
