Memorial Day Weekend - the ice cream story

OK so here is the first of a few stories: This one is the funniest. When you live on an island - Cherry Island St. Lawrence River, between Canada and NY on the map - you have to think about what you need and how to cart it over. For example - need a new bed? Do you have a boat big enough to get it over. How about a stove or a washing machine. OK those are the big items. How about ice cream? How do you get it from the store, to your car, to the boat, to the island and into the freezer without it melting? Especially when you make the decision to buy ice cream without making the plan first. My father in law wanted an ice cream sandwich one for him and one for Liz Sr., but he didn't know how he was going to keep it cold so he thought - Oh how about I buy 2 half gallon containers to sandwich around the 2 ice creams sandwiches so they don't melt. My father in law is addicted to ice cream so we figured out later that it was a ruse to bring home the sandwiches and extra ice cream!! Nice idea!
