This place is an absolute gem and harkens back to a bygone area.  Unimpeded by development, driving through a bucolic setting and seeing the old fashioned sign is such an invitation to step inside.  As soon as your tires hit the gravel parking lot, you know you are in for a treat.  Having sampled (ah...um...I won't reveal the count) many of their ice cream flavors, their ice cream is simply incredible.  There are several unique flavors as well.  They also sell pints and half-gallons.  The staff is always friendly, quick and very helpful.  Inside seating is always nice in the summertime to escape the heat.  They also sell jams, jellies and other items.   There are outside picnic tables as well.  My kids absolutely love this place and I'm a raving fan also.

In these days of rising prices on nearly everything you may be looking for ways to cut down expenses and put a little more money into your pocketbook.

It should be able to dry and fluff your clothes, removing lint as it goes. The average cost of doing a load is about $.75 in a regular dryer.   But then things can slow down.  During drying cycles, as lint leaves the drum where your clothes are, the lint g... 08/28/2008
