Foiled, again

For several weeks, I've had a craving for a root beer float. I don't like root beer by itself, and I don't eat much ice cream, but the summer heat has had me wanting a float.

Last night we went out for ice cream after Wednesday church with some church people. For the third time in a month, my well-laid plans for a float came to naught. Some people have all the luck.

The last two tries failed when the two different stores were out of root beer. My first try came at the expense of a teenage girl at the same store as my failed second attempt. I ordered a float AND a Sprite for Darla to drink. The teen worker thus gave me a Sprite float, and I was too meek (don't read weak) to push the issue.

One of these days I'll get that root beer float. Hopefully it'll happen before the leaves change colors and fall off the trees.
