December 19, 2013. Ridgeland, Mississippi. Bops.

It is a Jackson institution.   They serve frozen custard and is delicious.    I have no clue how it differs from ice cream so we call it ice cream although on their sign it says "frozen custard".    Of course, they have all the fancy sundaes with weird names such as  'dirt and worms',  and 'gummy bugs' but is really just good old fashioned ice cream sundaes, all gussied up.

This evening, Andrew and Mary Frances went to see The Hobbit.  We five were left home so after dinner, I suggested that we have dessert at Bops.  Molly was thrilled.   She had already put on a pair of cosy pajamas, but it took her a nano second to dress to be ready to get our ice cream. Kate had two final exams today. which she had finished just at 5:30.  A treat was in order for her too as the exam this afternoon was science/physics and was not easy.   Christina drove, and on the way we enjoyed all the Christmas lights, although Molly is not pleased with white lights.    "These are not my favorite", she said time and time again.

It is always interesting to me just how much pleasure is derived from a small event such as driving for ice cream.    We listened to Christmas music all the way there and back.   As it was only 60 degrees, we elected to order at the drive through and eat in the car, so all the way home, we nibbled on our ice cream.  And a good time was had by all.
