Our Neighborhood Ice Cream Man



We live right next to West Jordan Park. It is so fun to have such a large and beautiful park as our back yard. However, one of the things that we do have to put up with is the Ice Cream Truck.

With the weather warming up, we often get treated with his wonderful "music" !?! (I must say that our ice cream man has the most interesting sound track I have ever heard.) I try to tune it out as much as possible but every once in a while a random song will catch my attention.

For example, a couple of weeks ago he was playing Jingle Bells! Ya, don't ask. I have no idea why he was playing Jingle Bells in the middle of May. I even heard Happy Birthday not too long ago.

Well. last Saturday morning, I heard Daniel yell from the den, "Ashley... Ashley, come here! Quick!!" I ran in there as fast as I could and he said, "Sshhh... Do you hear that? Is that a hymn?" The tune sounded familiar and I responded, "Yes, I think it is. But I'm not sure which one."

Sure enough, that next day in sacrament meeting we sang as our closing hymn "Lord Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing." The ice cream man song!!! (Actually, we couldn't really sing it because we were busy laughing!)

Funny thing! Our dancing ice-cream man plays the same music. Must be a conspiracy.
