Musical Memories

As I was walking home from school, I somehow stumbled upon my childhood memories of the ice cream truck. The one that makes that delightful noise which perks up any child's lazy, summer day. Poor parents! ha! "Mom, Can I have a dollar? Please, please? Mom, Can I? Can I? Please!?!? Hurry! The ice cream man's comin'!"
When I was little my Mamaw lived in South Houston, TX. My sister, Heather, and I would go every now and again to visit for a few weeks during the summer. Where Mamaw lived...the ice cream man drove around. [I grew up on a dirt road in the middle of DeRidder countryside.]
Once, I didn't get the dollar from my Mamaw in time...so I missed the truck! But I was young, so I chased him down for a couple of blocks! My favorite ice creams were those Tweety Bird or Ninja Turtles ones with the bubble gum eyes! Maybe an ice cream man drives around Provo?
