SHAKING IT UP…

WITH A GOOD OLE FASHIONED

MILKSHAKE

I'm such a girl, I'm such a girly girl. I'm sippin on my milkshake with this swirly swirl.
Nicki Minaj quotes

Nothing says summer like a good ole fashioned milkshake. I don’t know about you, but I like to shake my milkshakes up at bit.

I have fond memories of going uptown with my Dad to get a milkshake at the old Kaftans’ Drug Store in Mount Morris, Michigan. At the drugstore they had an ice-cream parlor with the old stools that spun around. Such great memories of fun times with my Dad.

The two of us use to sit on those stools and have a milkshake together. Mine was always vanilla and my Dad always had to have chocolate. Such sweet childhood memories of long ago.

Well, if you can’t bring back the good ole days and the old fashioned ice-cream parlors…then make your own milkshake memories at home.

Here is a you tube video on How To Make A Milkshake…
