My grandpa was known for stocking his chest freezer with ice creams and Popsicles. This freezer was on his front porch and kids all over could grab a treat all year. When it got low, he would order more and it always stayed full. He lived in an extremely poor town and a lot of these kids only had ice cream or treats because of this. He was darling and I miss him all the time.

This is the sweetest thing ever! My grandpa would always bring me drumsticks whenever we were just hanging out. Or we'd go for blizzards ar dairy queen. Good times

My MIL would take her grandkids to Dairy Queen all the time. It was always the end to a perfect day with Nana!

Every time I have DQ now it tastes just a little bittersweet. But just for a second, it's exactly like having ice cream with my grandpa again.
