Josephine loves school. She loves it because she's good at it. Period. She's in the STEM program - accelerated classes in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Still, she gets straight A's. Last term when she got straight A's we signed her up for violin lessons. That's not going so well, because she really wants to take piano, but, she presses on. This time, we decided a little road trip was in order and we headed to the beach for a treat - Thrasher's. We left in the late afternoon and it was freezing cold when we got there - maybe 40 degrees - tops. So everyone else waited in the car while Josephine and her friend Aurora (pictured) and I got in line. We were next - mouths watering and shivering simultaneously - when we heard the unthinkable from the dude behind the counter - "That's it, folks; last order; all out for today."
We had just driven an hour across the Shore to get a treat for our brilliant daughter, and WHAT? Josephine and I just looked at each other in disbelief. Could it be true?
Then, the heavens opened and a light shone through the darkness. Thrasher's dude called to me and said, "hey, Ma'am. We can do one more. What can I get you?" {choirs singing}
I said, whatever you have left is fantastic, thank you. And they were. Yum.
Sidenote, this photo was originally taken with the Live feature on my iPhone. It doesn't work here once it's transferred to the blog, but, on the Live feature, the photo moves for the second before and after you capture it. On my phone, you can see the silver door closing on Thrasher's behind Josephine and Aurora. Saved the best for last!
