3. Choco tacos...but when my kids were young we had a soft serve truck

Wed Jun 18, 2025, 11:18 AM

Wednesday

Mr Softy was the soft serve truck. Rarely came to our neighborhood in Reading. Had a student from a different part of Cincinnati that it came to her neighborhood almost every day. So I nicknamed her, Mr. Softy.

I wish we had a Mr Softy truck where we live now.
