Willy's

Willy's is much more than a soft serve ice-cream place. Around here, everyone waits for it to open in the spring. It is a delicious gathering place for both people and animals. On any summer evening, there are long lines, but no one minds waiting because we all visit!

Mr. Willy died about a year ago, and left Willy's to his daughter. She had a great job with the school board, but quit it in order to keep this beloved place running! 



Grizzled bikers come  out.


Dogs come! Yes, Willy's has dog ice-cream dog treats. This dog swallowed a whole bowl of ice-cream in one gulp.

Even in the dark, people don't stop coming!


And here is a customer close to my heart. Our granddaughter Anne Marie when she was a baby. One of her first visits.

Do YOU have a place like this in your town?

“When you’ve stuffed yourself, you refuse dessert; when you’re starved, you could eat a horse.”
Proverbs 27

such an adorable photo of Anne Marie!! our local Goodberry's get long lines even when it's cold out. :) I don't think they serve ice cream treats for dogs...such a wonderful idea.
hugs,
Marie

Looks like the perfect gathering place.You can't go wrong if ice-cream is involved. We do have a place similar, called George's.

What a great place. We've had a few different ice cream places here but they're open for a year and then go up for sale

That is so nice to have a place that is loved like Willys. Dog ice cream would be loved! Such a cute pic of Anna Marie

Weeping

 The Weeping Cherry Trees are just about done for now, but they sure were pretty. Their delicate branches lean almost to the ground so grace...
