I gotta admit, I am a tad jealous that Guano got that job. May not have paid much, but it seems like a cool job to have during the summer. Interesting to hear how well an ice cream truck to lay rubber (kudos to the driver).<br /><br />Now, the bigger question I have is, I want to hear MORE about the time when you moved down here to Texas? <br /><br />agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-48391969704637278122014-08-09T23:44:40.110-06:002014-08-09T23:44:40.110-06:00Very cute indeed!

So much of small town livin' resides in our heads anyway....<br /><br />Great pic btw, practically an archeological find. I've no recollection of it either, but what a hit from our past.

I can't even imagine how popular a homegrown ice cream truck would have been in my neighborhood. I love looking at old photos, too, but I often can't remember the other kids in the pictures.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146625702822086807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-3263229818611468002014-08-07T21:51:26.715-06:002014-08-07T21:51:26.715-06:00What awesome memories!

And Guano, after I learned he was one of the gang. Nice that he didn't mind his little sister tagging along while Dragging Main. We used to go cruisin' down our own Main Street... in cars just as embarrassing as a clanging ice cream truck. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
