Homade Ice Cream

Memories of childhood on the porch My dad bringing out the freezer Milk, eggs, sugar, rock salt, ice Neighbors invited Warm night, crickets Passing bowls Slurping Aahhhh.......

I would film this scene in sepia and slide it slowly to Technicolor as the sun sets. This is a picture. Thank you for your kind remarks! Regards, Gerard.

You sure brought back some great memories, Barbara. We made ice cream in chemistry class. Not only did we have fun, but we enjoyed hot fudge sundaes! And yes, it was a warm day so the cool treat was quite welcome by all. Love, Carolyn
