TAILS - Share a Summertime memory
We lived next door to my grandparents (my mom's parents) as we were growing up. I looked forward to Grandma and Grandpa hosting Fish Fry's each summer...especially since we always had home made ice cream! YUMMY! All the grand-kids (me included) would stand in line for our turn to crank the ice cream maker. Back then it was an honor to turn that crank! LOL Now it is hard and has turned into a chore. Thank goodness for electric ice cream makers!
What a great memory of making ice cream. I remember that we only used the ice cream maker at family get-togethers. It was definitely a treat.
ReplyDeleteSame for my family Maisie :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet memory!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun memory! I am still trying to get my hubby to let me get an ice cream maker, an electric one.
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh! Did you also get to white-wash the fence? *giggle* But, yeah... chores like that seem so exciting when we're children, don't they? What a lovely memory. And, *sigh*... a fish fry sounds pretty awesome. Maybe I'll head out to Georgetown for some of the world's best catfish later this week.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this week's prompt for HoT, I went looking... it seems I don't have any sandy-beach pics. *confused* But yours are so cute! I love the Kiddo with her little bonnet on! I want a daughter, and the more I look at other peoples' little girls, the more I come to think that the reason I want one is so I can dress her up. *chuckle*
Happy Hot!

Yikes! How did I get that copied? Um... ignore the second paragraph. I was visiting someone else and accidentally copied my comment to my clipboard, I guess. *blushes deep red* I'm so embarrassed!

Indeed so Tammy :)
ReplyDeleteDawn...Tell him it is super important to get one. Home made ice cream ROCKS.
Thanks for visiting Smarmoofus :) I ignored the second paragraph :)
That's an awesome memory! I've been itching to make home made ice cream, but with one of those balls you can kick around and play with. :) I think it's on amazon.com
ReplyDeleteI will have to check that out Mikrro!
ReplyDeletewhat a great memory with grandparents...

What a great memory! My HoT is posted now, too.
ReplyDeletethat old fashioned icecream maker sounded like fun!
ReplyDeleteMy HoTs is up too. Hope youll stop by ;-)
My parents always did this too! And our kids would just LOVE to help make the ice cream with the rock salt and the cranking and everything about it.
ReplyDeleteGreat memory.
Mine is shared. Stop by if you can. But warning, it's a bit different than what you'd probably expect for a summer memory.
A fish fry???? Oh yeah.. I would have been there!
ReplyDeletelovely memory... and now I need an icecream maker.. We had one as kids.. time to get one now!! :)
ReplyDeleteSummers of my past
That sounds awesome - how great it must've been to be so close to your grandparents!!
ReplyDeleteHappy HoT!! :D
Picturing...I miss them still :(
ReplyDeleteForgetfulone...thanks!

ReplyDeletePreethi...they don't cost to much either!
Frigga...It was totally awesome.
well home made icecreams are fun even now :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun memory! I used to love to make home-made ice cream with a hand-crank machine and used to do it a couple of times a year with my students on special occasions too. There’s nothing quite like it is there?
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Thanks for visiting Rambler and Storyteller.
ReplyDeleteI want to make home made ice cream! It sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteI think so too Karen...maybe I will make some this weekend.
