My Favorite Truck

First and foremost, I hope everyone had a fantastic Fourth of July because I certainly did! (My trifle was a hit too!) I mentioned in my last post that the Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays due to Mike and Martha's delicious desserts, however I also love the parade.

The parade is a massive event in my small town and every year, local businesses and organizations go all out with their floats. From the All-American Elvis impersonators, to the Lawn Mower Brigade, people dress in their red, white, and blue, and wave their flags while watching the floats drive by. It's always exciting to hear live music, whether it's a high school band or a trio of elderly ladies singing their hearts out to, "Brown Eyed Girl," but every year without fail, there's always an awkward moment of complete silence as one of the trucks (not even a float) drives by.

Personally, I love their product. In fact, I'm sure everyone does. But no one is ever brave enough to applaud or wave their flag for this truck. Until last year...

A few floats came through with free water bottles and candy, and kids were eager to grab their fair share of freebies. Suddenly, the music died down as the "fun floats" drove away, and silence was upon us. The kids all stared with disappointment at this truck as it drove by without any music or freebies when unexpectedly, a dad stood up and yelled, "GOOO BUTTER!!!!!" Following in their father's lead, his children jumped to their feet and started cheering with him. From that moment on, I decided to cheer for the butter truck because let's face it...I love butter.

This year, I was completely prepared to cheer and shout for the butter truck and to my surprise, they handed out these really cute foam cows!

So long story short...GO BUTTER!

Happy eating & pass the butter please,
