Home-Made Ice Cream--Shirley Style

I made this my profile picture on Facebook yesterday, and it was suggested we have captions for our pictures.  I guess especially the old ones.  So here it is...

Donna and I were always close.  In this picture I was about 4 and she was about 10.  She always included me in stuff whether it was family or her friends.

We were at my grandparents house in the hot summer.  If I remember the cousins from out of state were there and it was time to make home-made ice cream.

The ice cream, the ice, the towels, and then the kids.  The process was that the adults cranked it, and to keep it all together they needed weight to hold everything in place.  That is where the kids joined in to help.  I remember us all taking turns.  But when it was our turn...Donna and I did always did it together.

Donna was laughing because of the way it "felt" underneath.  I am sure she probably lasted on it longer than I did.
