The Summer of 1961
A Saturday drive around Lubbock, Texas with my Granny usually included a stop for ice cream at the Borden's Drive-In.
Here I am with my cousins Jay & Gary.

The only thing better than Borden's was Grandmother Collier's homemade peach ice cream.
Made with only the freshest ingredients and lots of elbow grease.

Just down at the end of our road here in Lexington,
there is this peach tree.

Gracie and I were going for a walk the other morning so I brought my camera along.
Hoping to take some pics & pick a peach or two or three...

Oh my gosh, each limb was hanging so low from its heavy load and begging to be harvested.

As tempting as it was to pick, I refrained, as no one was home...so I am waiting.

In the meantime, I'm digging out Grandmother Collier's recipe and preparing to give my kids a lesson in how to make homemade ice cream and another homemade memory.

Below is a link to White Mountain Ice Cream Freezers.
Yep, they still make them.
And if you have enough hungry people they can all take turns cranking!

You'll be glad to know that they also make them with motors.
They sound about as magical as a rock polisher.
Remember those?

Elsie & I hope your summer includes plenty of homemade ice cream & homemade memories too!
