I remember when I was a kid getting blueberry cheesecake ice cream from one of the chain ice cream places and it was the bestest ice cream ever. But I have yet in my adult life to find any ice cream store, chain or not, that actually carries it.
ION, now that's cooled off outside (a relative term) and I've been a lazy bum for the better part of the week, I decided I should do some exercise. I was disappointed to discover I've been away from Tae Kwon Do so long I've forgotten my third form (out of 4). The other three and some kicking drills were more than enough for my out-of-shape self, though.
It's cooler on the floor. I'm going to lie on the floor.
Hey, peoples! Liese S. was in town with her DH, and so I dragged them off to Graeter's for ice cream, as any visitor to Cincinnati should be dragged. We talked all about their work, and the challenges it presents, and segued into talking about writing and politics and books and how good the ice cream was. A thoroughly enjoyable time. I wanted to keep them.
As always, pictures were had:
Me and Liese in Graeter's (note the neon ice-cream cone in the background).
Liese's cool new hair. It's a dramatically angled bob clipped close at the nape, with great swingy movement -- it's similar to Anne's swanky haircut, but shorter.
Yes, the DH is real, and not some actor hired to play the part.
I hope you are all properly jealous of me. Neener!
Damn. There are
two
Cold Stones withing walking distance. Not close walking, but one is close to a train stop.
Kalshane, was it BlueBell out of texas? That ring MAJOR bells from my youth. I used to visit my aunt, and my uncle was obsessed with BlueBell and that flavor sounds right.

Great pictures! Liese and DH are as adorable as I expected and Teppy, you look like you've lost weight.
YAY for ice cream with Liese and Mr. Liese!
You can get cheesecake ice cream with blueberries in it at Cold Stone.
Crap, I'm totally going there this weekend, now. There's one right up the street from me!
Liese and DH are as adorable as I expected
Once you get talking to them, they're even more adorable, in a please-move-here-and-be-my-Scooby-Gang kind of way. You know, Buffistas.
and Teppy, you look like you've lost weight.
It looks that way to me, too, though certain pants and skirts actually are tighter. I think perhaps the weight is making a pilgrimage to parts south, or something.
But thanks!
