Icy Sweet.........

 I was finally able to round up three of my four local grandkids and take them out for an end of the school year treat....over a month late!!! They have busy little lives and we had been away a lot....but oh it was worth the wait! I had heard of a new place in town called the Vampire Penguin; they serve what I'd call upscale shaved ice. You choose your base ice out of flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, mango, banana, etc, then add toppings. They were beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. I told myself there aren't many calories as it's mainly frozen water....Yea, right!!! But wait, I checked out what I ordered...a small Dulce de Leches and it says it's only 170 calories!!! It does take a bit to prepare your dessert, so games are provided to pass the time. We will be going back!!!

My Dulce de Leches consisted of vanilla ice, with caramel on top, sides of whipped cream and flan (that's what's up near the Uno card). I opted out of the sliced bananas.

Now some stitching....I needed a break from Harriett, so pulled out My Stitching Box by Jeanette Douglas. I only had the flowers on the basket to do and start the border. It goes pretty fast and I love the variegated color, Blue Grass, from Glorianna. 

That's it for today...hope you have a great week...thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!
