The last Saturday of summer.
I can almost feel my S.A.D coming on. I hate both fall & winter. I refuse to just quietly accept the arrival of Autumn next week, so headed straight to Marble Slab this afternoon in an act of defiance.
This is hands down the best ice cream shop in Charlotte. Every few months or so they feature a new flavor, and today, RUM. Add to that the swanky modern minimal decor, and I am ready to kick back and ask for the remote. (Note: There is no TV.)
The staff is always friendly. I become a silly 10yr old when it's time to pick my ingredients. Everything is great. Today was no different. The woman was masterly able to mix all 7 requested in and then scrape the slab clean, packing it all into the cup without leaving so much as a piece of raspberry for me to grieve about. Greed is good.
DE-LIC-IOUS. Sat outside in front of the waterfall and reflected on this great summer about to come to a close. Sigh.
