Snack Stop

I almost forgot to mention that we stopped for a snack on the way home from getting wood and Mom & Dad's...see the wood?

I'm going to use a piece of this wood to make a new table with those awesome hairpin legs I went on about a few posts ago.

We also stopped for gas at the local Casey's store and using my Hy Vee fuel saver card, I paid only 2.22 a gallon. Yay for Hy Vee fuel saver! I doubt if I'll get that big a savings again, I had some great coupons last month to get so much off.
Then we stopped at Purple Cherry for some healthy delicious Frozen Yogurt.

The purple Cherry moved from Downtown Marshalltown to a new location at the corner of hwy 14 and Hwy 30 in Marshalltown.
 I had to try the Sweet Corn Frozen Yogurt.....not bad! I don't think I want a whole dish of it, but it was pretty good!

 Ahh, that's better, DD had a little fro yo with her sprinkles. YUM!

Purple Cherry-the revisit

So you might remember awhile back I wrote about Purple Cherry, the frozen Yogurt store.

You fill your own cup with any flavors you like then top it off with fresh fruit or candy or cookies or syrup or all kinds of yumminess.

MMMMmmmmmm, it's so delicious, and such a cute store too. They've changed a few things, but the fro yo is still awesome!Purple Cherry on Facebook!

We all had a good dessert then stopped over at the antique store next door.

Main street Antique mall is right next door to Purple Cherry, they have all kinds of things.

Here's my chuckle for the day
. A folding fan that fits in your PURSE! Keep cool and be gay everyone!!

Purple Cherry...not the greatest name, but great frozen yogurt!

So I went to visit Mom & Dad on Sunday, and she told me about a new frozen yogurt shop in Marshalltown. It's called the Purple Cherry. Not such a great name IMHO, but OMG what great yougurt. Here's the store, in downtown Marshalltown, 101 Main St, just a block West of the courthouse. What a nice place too! They have modern decor and a very bright seating area, with a perfect view to watch the traffic go by. I was trying to remember what had been in this store space when I was a kid, Mom said it was a men's clothing store, I remember JCP was just a block down, and what a shocker Willard's is still across the street!  Oh anyway the yogurt, I'm usually not a big fan of froyo, but this stuff is awesome!! When you go in the frozen yogurt machines are right there waiting for you

...mmm they have so many flavors and change all the time! They have really big dishes for you to serve yourself.

Then the yummy toppings, look strawberries, bananas, brownie bites, cake bites-Oh I gotta say those strawberry cake bite...I just should have filled my dish with them!!! There are also fudge, butterscotch, marshmallow and chocolate toppings, and nuts and candy crumbles, the assortment is unbelievable!

Then there's the candy, cookies & cereals. I had some animal cookies in my yogurt.

 

 Then they weigh your dish and you pay up. This dish was about $3.50, if you filled the dish all the way to the top it would be more than you could eat, they're really big dishes!

 Here's what one of our dishes had, I think this is my cousin's, we had to call and have her and her friend meet us for some of this deliciousness!  I hope they can keep up the good work, it's a real pleasure to see a new business in the old downtown! I'll be back Purple Cherry, every time I'm in Marshalltown! Purple Cherry website
