Ice Cream

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from J.  It was a lovely note telling me that her father had found one of my gifts a couple months ago by the elevator in the parking garage near his work.  He used it recently to take J and her sister C out for ice cream when on their way to a nearby lake. 



When you leave gifts around as I do, it is so rewarding and exciting to hear from a finder but something about J's note was very special to me in that it reminded me of many happy times getting ice cream with my sister and Dad (and my little brother too) when going to the lake. 

Whether it be small ice cream stands, the local Friendly's or even my mother's own "ice cream window" where my friends, siblings and I would line up to order from the kitchen window while standing outside on the deck, ice cream and good summer times seemed to go hand in hand.


So on a drive yesterday I picked up four $5 gift cards for Friendly's and four $5 gift cards for a small ice cream stand near the lake.  I am hoping the eight finders get themselves a yummy summer treat and enjoy some time with their own siblings and friends!


J, thank you so much for your e-mail!

Hi undercover ladybug! I didn't pick up one of your treats, but saw it stuck on a park bench outside a popular breakfast restaurant in downtown Portsmouth. My husband & I are visiting from St. Louis, & I just wanted you to know that I think what you're doing is really great!

Hi undercover ladybug! Me and my mom were taking a walk to merrymeeting and we wanted to go look at the parking lot, and we found a Johnons's gift card taped to a sign, which is funny because I was asking my Mom all day if we can go get some ice cream. Thank you so much it made my day! I am sure we will past it on.
