Mother's Day is What you Make It

 Daughter is now in same state as us.  Best thing ever.  Today, Mother's Day, we are taking MY Mother to see our Daughters new apartment in New London County.    She (My Mother) is thrilled that we are going to have McDonalds and then we are going to Michael's Dairy on the Mitchell College Campus. In looking for some information to share with you on Michael's Dairy, I found this on their Facebook page. 

Isn't that a nice surprise?

Whatever you do today, I hope it celebrates what the day means to you. 

Here is some information on Michael's Dairy and Mitchell College from their website

Michael’s Dairy’s Story

Michael’s Dairy, which has been in operation for generations, is widely known for great ice cream, wonderful customer service and our quaint neighborhood location.

The Buscetto family acquired the dairy and its property from the Mitchell family in 1943, renaming it from the Mitchell Dairy to Michael’s Dairy.

1950s

Originally a milk processing business, Michael’s Dairy began serving ice cream in the 1950’s when the Buscetto family discovered that one of America’s true loves is ice cream.

Michael’s Dairy was the last milk processing dairy in New London and processed milk up until the 1970’s.
