Share and share alike

Red with an earthy finish—-perfect for Red and Rover!

Yum, Popsicle Pete! I think my age is showing! :))

We got them here in Fort Wayne, IN. Most are even very new and vibrant paint jobs.

MMMMMMMMMM – Popsicle Pete and all his ice cream treatsEnjoy it boys Love and Hugs for Red and Rover

Boy, I remember an ice cream truck like that when I was very young. Don’t see them any more. Also remember the Helm’s Bakery truck. Getting old.

Back when I still had a car, I took annual trips to Vancouver, BC in October to shop for Halloween candy. One time I noticed an ice cream truck was still out. It was a sunny day, but that must be the definition of an optimist: an ice cream truck driver in October in Canada.

Rover is cute today! I loved the red pops with cream centers!

The Skippy guy (yeah, that was the company name) used to come around in an open convertible with a giant freezer wedged in the back, if you can picture that. Playing merry-go-round style carillon music – kind of creepy, thinking back on it.

Skippy Guy. ?? We had Good Humor truck(?) that visited our town in the summer. Those were the days my friend… :-)

Popsicle Pete has the dirt on the neighborhood!

How else should Rover get his ration? That’s the best way!

Ahhhhhh – the carefree days of being a youth in the summer. A loyal dog and enough money in your pocket for a popsicle – didn’t get much better than that. Sigh

Rover’s 5 second rule – eat it in less than 5 seconds.

Any of you remember a “CHARLIE’s CHIPS” truck? They’d bring these big tin cans full of chips. You’d give them the empty can and they’d take them back. Seems like they were brown trucks kind of like UPS truck. They were good potato chips.

Okay I made myself curious and looked them up. It was “Charles Chips”.
