Ice Cream- Spontaneous Treat with Vietnamese Friends

On Tuesday I went to the University of Nebraska Lincoln to participate in New Student Enrollment with my friend Tai from Vietnam. During a break time for the parents/supporters I saw three of my friends from Vietnam- Elaine, Hien and Van-in the Student Union at the ice cream counter. I went over to say hi and they invited me to join then and they bought me some ice cream.

I had not seen them for a long time, so it was great to catch up on what is happening in their lives. Van will graduate this summer and is looking into MBA programs. Elaine will graduate in December. Hien graduated from Dental Hygienist school, passed her boards and is now working as a Dental Hygienist. All three are very intelligent young women. It was a wonderful break in the day. I love unplanned spontaneous moments and I have to admit when someone buys me ice cream it makes it even better. I had two scoops, one peppermint and one chocolate. Thank you to my friends for a fun time and a tasty treat

Ice cream is one of my favorite foods. My favorite ice cream in Lincoln is from the University’s Dairy Store. They use fresh milk from the Ag college and make the ice cream on East Campus. It tastes the way ice cream should taste. I do not use mix ins or any toppings when I eat ice cream there. I also like Coldstone when I want ice cream with mix ins, but when I want ice cream the way it used to be, just good old fashioned ice cream, the East Campus Dairy Store is the best. I makes me wonder what favorite snacks or treats my friends enjoy and also what ice cream others like best.
