A SUNDAY SUNDAE

When I was a kid, Sundays were special.  A quiet day spent with just the family.  Church, followed by a wonderful dinner and a restful afternoon.  And in the Summer, it was always a day for ice cream!  Don’t you wish we could slow down the hectic pace of today and return to those peaceful days once more?  I sure do!  And here’s something to help even if just a little.  An ice cream sundae will bring back fond memories that will take you back to a much better time.
