Yesterday we had to run an order to the post office to get it mailed quickly. So we took a quick trip to our local Walmart to pick up a few things. One of our favorite flavors of ice cream is Moose Tracks made by Hershey's. Hubby wanted to buy a treat and that's what he chose but not Hershey's, they had Turkey Hill's. He asked if it would bother me if he got it as he knows how much I loved it. I told him no it wouldn't. But when we got home and him and my son took it out and started eating it BEFORE...
