Finishing the April 2023 wander with delight

As we finished wandering Calhoun County we headed north to pick up 72. We were too tired for back roads all the way home. This route took us through the tiny town of Detroit, home of one of my favorite buildings. I smiled at it as we got to the intersection of IL 100 and IL 106. Then I looked to the left and there was the Detroit Dairy Delight. I ask you, how could we not stop?

Ernie kindly went to get our cones. They had caramel soft serve! Ernie, of course, got vanilla. He then attempted to come back and open the car door while holding both cones. Whoops. He went back and waited in line while I held his cone for him. When he went to pay for my replacement cone the young guy told him, "no charge."

It was chilly and windy out so we sat in the car and admired our building as we licked our cones. There was a woodpecker in the tree in front of us.

The cones were heavenly and we both ate every bit of them. It's very rare that Ernie eats ice cream so it felt like a bit of a holiday.

The whole trip was an incredible wander but this was one of my favorite moments.

Onward.
