KING'S CONFECTIONS...
The devastation of the island is still apparent in some areas of Galveston, but we were amazed by the spirit of the people and the work that has been done over the last year. Lala posed under a strip of tape that represented the water line in King's Confections. Some buildings marked their line with paint or their windows with a strip of tape. The videos we saw on tv did not give credit to the people...they have really come toghther to rebuild. As we shopped the strand we saw books of photos and a published book about Ike as well. Tears filled our eyes flipping through those pages. We are so thankful to have Galveston get aways.
Kings's Confections is home of the yummiest homemade ice cream and hand pulled taffy around. When in Galveston it is a must see...make that a must taste. Lala had been dreaming of their coffee ice cream since our discovery last summer, but my favorite flavor will remain the cherry pie. Mom let me pick. She held me up to the 3 loaded cases and walked me from one side to the other. I was completely overwhelmed and simply stated, "I don't know. I can't decide." A tasting was in order. We selected everything pink...cherry pie is a winner! YUMMY! Mom even traded in her chocolate chip for a scoop of mine. What does that tell you?
