Good for you NE! What is the "best" ice cream parlor? People have strong opinions around here
You sound really positive. I've noticed more lately the summer seasonal drinking and it has a certain draw. I picked my daughter up from a birthday party yesterday. A 7 year olds party and it was warm and the kids were on the slip and slide while the adults were clustered around, drinking beer. And I thought " that would be nice ". So I still have to be vigilant.
Or my grocery store announcing " great news! They have authority to sell alcohol at 8 a.m. on Sunday!!! ". The old me would have been doing my weekly shopping at 8:00 a.m. and going home to drink and pass out for the day.
Don't miss that. Keep going! Maybe you can edit the frowny face from your thread? You sound great.
