Bah Humbug.

Today is the Fourth of July. Hoorah!
Hot dogs. Cherry Pie. Parades. Fireworks.
Ugh.
I hate fireworks.
I know what you’re thinking. I’ve heard it a thousand times before. But I just don’t see the appeal. It’s loud and smelly and crowded and, well? Isn’t that enough of a reason?

Creamsicles.

I used to love creamsicles. I went to Camp Milldale day camp when I was little and every afternoon in the scorching heat we got a creamsicle or a fudgesicle or something. I love a good fudgesicle, but those creamsicles are memorable. Very, very memorable. I’d know that flavor and consistency anywhere.
I remember a lot [...]
