I SCREAM! YOU SCREAM! WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!!
OKAY SO WE ALL KNOW THAT THE GOODMAN FAMILY LOVES ICE CREAM! ICE CREAM BECAME A FAMILY TRADITION WAAAYYYY BACK WHEN SPUNKY AND I WERE DATING. WE ALWAYS BRAKE WHEN WE SEE A DAIRY QUEEN, BUT ONE THING THAT WE DEFINATELY LOVE IS UNIQUE ICE CREAM PLACES AND SINCE WE MOVED TO WAYNESVILLE ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THAT PERFECT UNIQUE ICE CREAM SHOP. I LOVED AMMONS DRIVE IN...ALWAYS HAVE, EVER SINCE I WAS A KID. THERE DELECIOUS PEANUT BUTTER MILK SHAKES MAKE MY MOUTH WATER LIKE A THIRSTY IQUANA IN THE DESERT.... BUT MY DIFFICULT HUSBAND DIDN'T QUITE LIKE IT AS MUCH AS I DO....HE ALWAYS COMPLAINS THAT IT'S TOO CROWDED AND THAT IT WAS TOO GENERIC.
SO WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A ONE OF A KIND ICE CREAM PARLOR FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS...IN HENDERSONVILLE OUR SUNDAY TRADITION INCLUDED A MOVIE AND ICE CREAM AT PIGGY'S EVERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND WE MISSED OUR ICE CREAM TRADITIONS SINCE WE HAVE MOVED TO WAYNESVILLE.
SO, THE OTHER NIGHT WE DECIDED ONCE MORE TO GO AND TRY TO FIND OUR PERFECT ICE CREAM PARLOR...AND WE WERE ANTICIPATING ANOTHER DISAPOINTING EVENING....IT ALL STARTED WHEN WE GOT TO THE INTERSECTION OF WALKER RD. AND THE BYPASS AND MY WONDERFUL HUBBY SAID "SYLVA OR WAYNESVILLE" AND I RESPONDED "SYLVA" THEN I REMEMBERD THAT I RECENTLY SAW A NEW ICE CREAM PARLOR BY THE MOVIE THEATRE IN SYLVA. SO WE FINALLY ARRIVE AT THE PARLOR AND THERE ARE NO CUSTOMERS INSIDE (THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR MY HUSBAND WHO ALWAYS SAYS IF IT'S GOOD THE LOCALS WILL BE THERE) WE GO INSIDE AND TAKE A QUICK PEEK AROUND. THE PARLOR IS CALLED "JACK THE DIPPER" AND WE DISCOVER LOTS OF DIFFERENT ICE CREAMS (OR PLAIN OLD CREAM IF YOU'RE ASKING ADDISON) SUCH AS BIRTHDAY CAKE, CATAMOUNT TRACKS, AND LOTS OF LOW FAT ONES AS WELL( FOR MY LIGHTEN UP FOR LIFE FRIENDS). THE INSIDE OF THE PARLOR IS DECORATED AS AN OLD SCHOOL HOUSE WITH SMALL DESKS ALONG WITH TABLES INSIDE.
WE THEN ORDER OUR UNIQUE ICE CREAM CHOICES AND ASK IF THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE WAFFLE CONES... THE ICE CREAM SCOOPER MAN QUICKLY TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS TO MAKE HOME MADE WAFFLE CONES!!! MAN OH MAN ARE THEY GOOD!! THE ICE CREAM WAS ALSO DELECIOUS!! SPUNKY ALWAYS ORDERS THE SAME OLD THING (HEAVENLY HASH, I CALL HIM GRANDADDY COMPTON) WHILE ADDISON AND I ALWAYS TRY TO MIX THINGS UP! THE BEST PART IS THE PRICE ONE SCOOP IS ONLY $1 (NO I AM NOT KIDDING). SO IF YOU ARE EVER OVER TO VISIT; ASK US TO TAKE YOU TO JACK THE DIPPER....WE GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOVE IT! NOTICE THE PICTURE OF ADDISON IN A SCHOOL DESK!
Summer and I went to Jack the Dipper once (right next to Bruce's recruiting office) and loved it. It's very close to my favorite thrift store, too - maybe we can make plans to take the girls for ice cream and shopping sometime soon! According to Summer, it's just called "ice"
