Hello Friends! Are you having a good week? We left last Wednesday driving to Hendersonville, North Carolina, for a two-day visit. My mom and I started this annual tradition in 2020, and this year, Hal went with us. We all had such a good time. The weather was perfect, and it was a real treat to get away for a change of scenery.
Hi everyone! Are you ready for the weekend? Week before last, I made some homemade chocolate ice cream. We purchased a Cuisinart ice cream maker about six years ago, but we haven't used it a lot. We used it the first summer we had it, but after that we kind of forgot about it. We probably wouldn't have bought one at all, except that my mom got one, and she really liked it. She used it a lot before my dad passed away, but she hasn't used it much since. He really loved homemade ice cream, and he was the official ice cream churner (before the electric ones came along). However, he got too weak to use the ice cream maker before he died, so my mom got the Cuisinart.
Hello September and Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I guess today is the unofficial last day of summer.
Time to take down the summer mantel decor.
