Ice Cream Social


On Saturday La Puerta Real Estate held an old-fashioned ice cream social to obtain food donations for Placitas’ local food bank–Casa Rosa. It was a typically beautiful Placitas day with white fluffy clouds, blue skies & that wonderful crisp smell that people associate with New Mexico. What can be better than getting together with friends & neighbors enjoying an ice cream cone or sundae on a warm 87 degree afternoon & helping those in need?

Without question, the top preferred ice cream flavors for Placitans are 1) coffee and 2) chocolate. Now I guessed that chocolate would have been a favorite, but coffee? That was a surprise!

In chatting with the Casa Rosa folks they said they recycle plastic water bottles & plastic shopping bags, those pesky plastics that seem to spontaneously reproduce. So now instead of feeling guilty, we can feel good about passing them on to Casa Rosa.
