The Music Man

The Singing Ice Cream Shoppe in Lavallette, NJ
This is an amazing family destination at the Jersey Shore that combines a classic ice cream parlor with a vaudeville style broadway Cabaret.
Back on July 29, we had a girls night out for ice cream and a little entertainment.
We go every year, don't you just love a good tradition?
My sister-in-law, her daughter, her 2 children, Addie and Lorelei and my nieces mother-in-law.
We go every year and I really look forward to it!
You get an ice cream of your choice, music, dancing, funny stories and audience participation. 

 

The evening starts with popcorn...

Addie got a Banana Split...

My niece Deanna got the Brioche Ice Cream Sandwich

I enjoyed the Churros with 3 dipping sauces.


Because of audience participation, Lorelei was not feeling it.



There is a picture of all of us, I can't seem to find it.

The Time Has Come

 Can you define "Be Back Soon"...that's what I wrote on July 21st.
I googled it...here's the definition, 
"person, group, or service will return or reopen within a short amount of time".
"A Short Amount of Time'
is defined as a brief period, duration or interval".
I was catching my breath and I thought I would be back here much sooner.
I am here today, to wrap this whole debacle up and move forward with some "happiness"!
The hospital was nice, clean and I do not have one complaint.
The nurses, the doctors, the dietary staff and housekeeping were all so amazing and helpful.
The hubs, is the greatest man I have ever known, he does everything.
The nurses were ready to hire him, all of my different roommates were jealous...he could be an RN.
I am home, walking with assistance and it is a good thing I am a patient person, the hubs too.

Here's a few pictures from my stay at the "Ritz" because, well, I don't know, no pictures, no proof.





Bagels and Bacon in the morning...


Brasised Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Carrots for dinner..



Chicken Piccata one night and let me tell you, I wasn't mad about it!

Some nights...the sunset was gorgeous and I did not even have to leave my bed to see it.

So that's it, I have something fun planned for tomorrow's post.
