The Camp has a sweet side. A blessing it bestows on counselors as a little thank you. A little, "See, we care about our staff!" A little, "We encourage you to rest and unwind".
It provides a freezer full of Blue Bell in the counselor lounge.
That means free Blue Bell.

Did you hear me? Free Blue Bell.
You know what Blue Bell is, right? Well, if you're not Texan and you've never heard of Blue Bell, I apologize on your mother's behalf for both counts.
Blue Bell is an ice cream company (or "a little creamery") based out of Brenham, Texas. They make some fabulous ice cream. I was smitten by it as soon as I stepped over the state line twenty years ago.
A freezer full of free Blue Bell. Restocked every Thursday. I haven't even mentioned the Snickers ice cream bars.
Do you know what that does to a woman whose weakness is ice cream? Do you know what that does to children who know about that freezer? Do you know what that does to a toddler who now knows what is on the other side of the counselor lounge doors?

We're not winning any weight loss challenges, that's for sure. It's a sweet demise though.

I would be in trouble. It't too hot to not have ice cream- at least that's my justification.
OK, let me try to understand this. You can have free Blue Bell ice cream and instead you eat banana pudding and cantaloupe with peanut butter?! I am beginning to think there is something seriously wrong with you.
;P Lisa~
What lisa said was hilourios! But serioulsy I'd have to ask them to put a lock pad on the thing!
Sweet!
Do you know what that photo does to a Texan living where she can't get Blue Bell??? sheesh, GfG, what are you trying to do to me?! ;-)
That's a sweet deal for sure!
Ok, but what Lisa said is hilarious! I've found myself going back to the peanut butter/cantaloupe post several times still trying to imagine that ever happening over here. I figured you were trying to be a good steward over what you had on hand and create something 'sweet' for the kids to eat ~ well, now, I don't know what to think about that, KNOWING that you were arms away from Free BlueBell!
OH, poor Heather!!! Sorry to torture you.
Lisa & Rhonda, You two are terrible. I stand firm behind my love of that weird breakfast. The pudding, I'm about to eat some RIGHT NOW.
Love,
GfG
Yes yes yes! Eat it all so it's gone when I come to your house. LOL! Lisa~
SWEET!!!! What a great perk!!!!!!!!!
I bought all the stuff to make that pudding....it will be dessert tomorrow night!
Hugs, :) Heather S.
Ok, Lisa's comment is cracking me up b/c I'm thinking the same thing! Canteloupe or Blue Bell...hmmmmm....didn't we have that in our lounge too? cuz i recall loving the drumsticks, myself.
Do you think pregnant friends of camp staff count too? Can you take some home and stock up? LOL! I am soooo craving ice cream right now. My 3rd daughter is having her 7th birthday party tomorrow at my parents' house and we are having ICE CREAM SUNDAES with BROWNIES! Hmm...I wonder who planned that party...
YUMMO!!!!!
