You say the word and we’ll do it! 🍦🍨🍦<br /><br />Ewwww...how did you dare to hold that bloodsucker?! Cute picture, though. <br /><br />I loved visiting on my Nan’s veranda, which ran the lenghth of her home. We didn’t always have ice cream, but I do remember having some quite often. Ice cream was Nan’s go-to evening treat and served in small dessert dishes on little pedestals...even for my sis and me.

The big porch reminded me of going to our aunt's house with a big wrap-around porch...someone was always making homemade ice cream there too!

We did eat more seasonally and more locally as we were growing up, I do believe.<br /><br />You couldn't get me to hold a blood sucker in my hand today.

I have great memories of that porch (my grandmother often called it the "piazza") and I wish it was still there! In my childhood it had an elm tree growing up through it surrounded by a little seat.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-26262988360661872562018-06-20T07:21:48.095-04:002018-06-20T07:21:48.095-04:00One of my favorite memories of summer as a child i...One of my favorite memories of summer as a child is homemade ice cream with the cousins.
