Creamies, creamees, creemies . . . there are all sorts of spellings in Vermont for soft-serve ice cream. It is a huge occasion in the spring when the Barton Pharmacy opens their ice cream window. Here Wingnut (grandson) has his first creamie of the summer.
Here he is waiting for his "baby sized" creamie. We only order baby size because they are so big. They also cost only $1 (no tax). If hard ice cream, the baby size is two big scoops.
Wingnut waits for his change.
Here he poses near my car in front of the pharmacy.
The Barton Pharmacy is in the Pearce Block, one of the historic original buildings in Barton. They have a full service soda fountain (yes, just like back in the fifties) and the only pharmacy within 30 miles. Also in the Pearce Block is Catherine M.'s antique store.
Wingnut is enjoying his ice cream cone in the gazebo on the village green.I bet a lot of Photo Hunters are going to have ice cream as a theme this weekend! Thank you for visiting.

I love soft ice-cream too. Thanks for sharing these great shots. I love the last one in the gazebo. A perfect place to enjoy a sweet treat. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSummer without ice-cream is a sin! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I like the documenting style you apply here. Very neat. I think your place is a sweet as it the ice-cream in the pharmacy. Happy weekend!
Lucky grandson! I just wish we had the weather for ice-cream! Today isn't as bad as it has been recently, but that's the best I can say.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add I think your grandson looks sweet too, but boys don't often appreciate comments like that!
You live in the most beautiful place. I love seeing it in your photos.
It looks like such a sweet place!! love the pics of your sweet grandson enjoying his first icre cream cone of the season! that gazebo is so cute!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
A baby icecream ? My goodness what would be a normal one, that portion looks already big ! I think at the end of the day I will have an overdose of sweet stuff !
ReplyDeleteYour building pictures are very nice too !
That is the baby size? I would like to see the big size!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing kids with ice cream cones. These photos are just the essence of summer!
Beautiful pharmacy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
I just want to have some ice cream right now. Yum-yum!
ReplyDeleteI love soft ice cream. Just had a mocha latte soft-serve last week. It was so big I had to use a spoon to eat it. It was in a sugar cone (groan...). The cost? $0.33 cents, :)
ReplyDeleteLove your place there. You probably know it because I said it before, haha!. I love your state, even if I haven't been there. Yet.
Have a sweet weekend!
I think it is so neat that they still have a pharmacy that has a soda fountain and the ice-cream window. Perfect pictures for this week's sweet theme. It looks like your grandson had a wonderful time just hanging out with you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
What a lovely place to live. It is stunning! I think I need to make a trip to the east coast for that ice cream. Sounds (and looks) delicious.
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet kid...

ReplyDeleteYou certainly live in a beautiful place. Your grandson is definitely sweet with his icecream. Thanks for visiting my photo hunt.
ReplyDeleteI bet he enjoyed that ice cream, great photos. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely town! I wish we has a icecream place like that. Just expensive Stone Cold and another chain place.
ReplyDeleteIce Cream is certainly a sweet option for the theme. Nice Photos and thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI had ice cream today, too, with Mr Right. He had something with salty peanuts, mine was walnut and coffee - yummy! But expensive! 2,30 euros each - I think that's close to 2 dollars!
ReplyDeleteThe "village" (is it one really?) looks very pretty.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Yum! Is he willing to share?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Great take for the theme! You found one of the things I really miss about living in a small town...those hidden gems. Thanks for sharing your ice cream with us.

ReplyDeleteThe building is beautiful... and for some funny reason I have an ice cream craving... too bad I can't satisfy that craving for a buck! What a deal!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like yummy sweets to me. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow - this town looks so perfect it can't be real. ice cream looks sweet to me! Thanks for stopping by my froggy post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. You have not been by for some time. Good word for today and you used it well by picking ice cream. I love ice cream..who doesnt??? My hubby loves it so much that he just has to stop eating it because of his weight and all!! Hope that you have a great Sunday..Sandy
ReplyDeleteAnd a real soda fountain? I haven't seen one of those in years! Great shots... lovely store... sweet child!
ReplyDeleteVery nice introduction you have here. I guess I will go for some ice cream under this hot weather. Have a Nice Weekend :) Visit me here at http://crizlai.blogspot.com/2007/06/photo-hunters-sweet.html
ReplyDeleteActually, I think yours is the first Photo Hunt entry I've seen that's featured ice-cream! BTW, one of my unfulfilled fantasies is to patronise a place with a real full-service soda fountain! Too bad that I couldn't get to one in my more than ten years of living in the U.S.A.... ;(
ReplyDeleteon a hot day there's nothing like ice cream. My favourite is coconut gelato.
ReplyDeleteI love ice cream....
ReplyDeletenice photos... =)
Great pics! Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely looking place, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love creamies! I live in Vermont as well! Thanks for the comment you left on my blog! And yes, that sugar jar is an older one, at least 15 or 16 years old!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet indeed!
ReplyDeleteOh so yummy - do you think it´s possible to send one of those sweet baby creamies to Germany? *LOL*
ReplyDeleteLove the pics, your grandson is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteIt drives me crazy that even a kiddy cone is too big, too much for me. Just one small scoop, please!
Looks yummy! :) What a great price for an ice cream! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't say no to ice cream - your creamies sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteSweet boy & sweet treat!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! A sweet little guy with a sweet treat.
