Richard's Little Dairy Queen

Everyone has a favorite ice cream place.  Unfortunately, ours is only a couple minutes away.  Unfortunately, because it makes my already curvy body have a few extra, unneeded curves. 

Richard's Little Dairy Queen is perfect.  It makes me nostalgic of the old days.  It only sells ice cream and doesn't have indoor seating or ordering.  The quaintness isn't the only thing that brings people in.  Their ice cream is scrumptious.  Absolutely delicious.  I hear you now, "Aren't all dairy queens the same?"  The answer is no.  His is the best.  He makes the kids practice until they get it right, and they don't serve it until it is.  My server last night said that last year when she was hired, she practiced blizzards for three months before serving one, and cones for almost a year!  That's why theirs are the best.  You can read more about it here.
    
I'm not sure why the DQ logo has been removed from the front.  Maybe he's getting ready to repaint.    



The above picture is a bit deceiving.  It would make one think that we frequent there often as a family.  While we do take the girls occasionally, the majority of our dairy queen runs happen after they are in bed.  Don't worry, we don't go together and leave the children alone.  One of goes and picks up while the other waits anxiously for the their return.  During the summer we go at least once a week.  Sometimes its two.  We're frugal though.  After we buy 5 blizzards, the 6th one is free!
