Almost like clockwork, there are two sure-fire indicators in Billings that Fall is here and winter is fast approaching... Beartooth Pass shuts down and Softie's closes for the season.
Summer is in the air and Softie's Ice Cream Shop is open. As I was cruising around the other night (well driving like the middle aged woman I am) I noticed that Softie's on the corner of Broadwater and 24th Street West is open.
In the first years of my life, I had a dairy allergy. Even having a teaspoon of milk would give me a three day ear infection. So I had my bowl of Cheerios with soy milk, and orange sherbet was the only option when the family stopped at an ice cream parlor.
