CAROLINA CONES, a mini      (Cheri)

A teaser, to begin with . . . we are under contract to buy a new home!  More about that later this week.

We took a little jaunt today, to meet someone from Georgia who bought a trailer hitch from us.  (We'd thought we were going to buy a fifth-wheel, but when we found the great bumper-tow that we have, with all of its windows, we decided against the fifth-wheel, leaving us with a specialized hitch that we didn't need.)

We were near the historic towns of Davidson and Cornelius, where we hadn't been before, so of course we had to search out ice cream shops!

The ice cream at Carolina Cones is extremely sweet and rich, but if you like add-ins, this is your heaven, and the music was nostalgic . . . all 70's, all the time!

There were some cute trains circling the eating area:

and retro rides for the kiddies outside:

(I couldn't get the "Moon Rocket" ride, built in 1953, to orient correctly.)

Anyway, we will definitely go back to see the two towns' historic Main Streets, but ice cream and nostalgia are always a good time.

I hope that the house you want is perfect for your dreams. I look forward to seeing photos of it. Does it have a wrap around porch?

Thank you for sharing this blog.

Hi Marian,

Nope, it so not "southern," but it is fairly "Winston-Salem." There are a lot of older ranch-style houses with triangles over the front doors . . . no idea why. Most of the rest of the houses are two-story, because the landscape is so hilly.

We are going to substantially remodel this one, and I'll put a "like this" picture on the blog post that I'll be doing.

Oooh! So many smiles,such delightful hints!
Mark looks very happy, indeed, with that Ice Cream Cone!
From winding roads to antiques, barns, and bookstore,
your reports always brighten my day!
THREE Quilting groups, an ice cream store favorite...
Butterflies, flowers, and meandering thoughts are gifts you
two are sending, and I thank you!

Faithfully following,
