All the supplies were out on the asphalt, the ice cream maker, ingredients, ice, and salt.

It would be those fall nights, right at dusk. We would gather around my mailbox, and decide who would be “it” first, and then count off. Lyrically the numbers were spoken. As transient as they were, it brought adrenaline to our hearts. “Got to find a good spot close.” “We got to find a good spot close.” The smell of pine and…
