HOME MADE MINT ICE CREAM

    When someone came up with the idea of a Blog, I'm sure they were thinking; It would be interesting to know some of the highlights of a persons day.





    Well I go to work and load some trucks with grain, or turn the computer on, punch in a feed order and hit start.





    What I think about is something that happened in the past.





    Today someone offered me a Mint Girl Scout Cookie and I said; I don't like mint. Then I told them why.





    I lived on a farm, when I was a child, in the fifties and sixties. When I was about eleven my folks had to leave for a





week to go to a funeral.





    They left my older sister in charge of me and my four younger sisters.[ It was in the middle of summer and hot]





    All we had to do was milk the cows, plus do all the other chores. AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!!





    My sisters at this time were into making home made ice cream, with mint.





    Every day for five days straight, they made the ice cream and I turned the paddles. And we ate and ate and ATE!!





    The fifth day I was green with green mint home made ice cream.





    From that day on, mint is something I'd rather not do. Just one of those things.





    NOW mint is a TRIGGER to bring back a FOND MEMORY.
