I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!
At least, that's what I used to hear people chant in the summertime. It may not be ice cream weather right now, but ice cream always tastes good. And Muleshoe has a new ice cream parlor that can answer that scream with myriad flavors and dishes of ice cream. Casa De...
