The Ice-cream Man

He escorts me to a large field in the back of his house. It is nicely groom and there is an entire croquet course set up. He hands out five different croquet sticks, all different colors.

Bill looks at me and says "this is such a silly game!"
It really does look like a silly game. I have no idea how to play. We all practice just hitting the ball with each of our own mallets. I picked the blue mallet and ball. It is quite challenging to hit the ball.

It was an excellent day playing croquet. I finished the game feeling happy and excited and so silly. I look at Bill and say "Thank you so much for the ice cream and the game it was so much fun!". Bills smiles and replies "Of course, it was fabulous", he looks at all of use there "enjoy your hike". I begin to get my things and then walk down his driveway. Bill yells "oh and you must sing my milkshake brings all the hikers to the yard!". I giggle and can feel my face turn pink. Bill and the other hikers sit on the porch and watch me as I sing "my milkshake brings all the hikers to the yard...." all the way down the driveway until I reached the trail.

I left feeling relaxed, hungry for more ice cream, but very happy that I stopped to meet the ice cream man.
