Mely Ballard has found herself puzzled of late.

Of course, after 32 years in operation dishing out ice cream, frozen yogurt and other treats at Corinth Square, the prospect of retirement isn’t too far into the future, she says. But for the foreseeable future, it’s business as usual.
“We’re here,” she said. “Come by and see us.”
