Finally, 5 of 5 ... I recall traveling with family nearly 500 miles to my parents' home.

The children were young. They'd ask, "Are we there yet?"

We'd stop for ice cream many times along the way.

And they got used to those places ...so, the trip didn't seem so long.

Never did they say, "We've had enough ice cream, can we go back now."

Thanks for taking this long journey with me.

And hopefully you were able to consume some ice cream while reading.

Don't turn back ...we are almost there!
