Chip & All, My fondest memories are when all the children and grand children gathered at my Grand parents house on Sunday afternoon in the summer. I can remember all the laughter and good times that everyone had. The adults setting around talking and some playing croquet in the yard and all the children playing hide and seek. The best of all though was the home made ice cream. I have seen as many as 3 old hand cranked ice cream freezers going at one time. Boy, was that good ice cream.......... Athol Athol K.
