Home made ice cream….

We have been looking for a ice cream freezer…Ours broke a few weeks ago and we are looking for a replacement, naw, not the old hand crank kind, though it is best, but an electric that will do the turning for you. Well, we have gone to most of the stores in town that we thought would carry them and have not been able to find one….They all say, that’s seasonal stuff…The other day we were at K-mart, a nice young lady was working behind the information, customer service desk and my sweetie asked, “do you have any ice cream freezers?”…”What is that”, she asked?”. We first thought she was kidding, but she really had no idea. I said to her, “Are you telling me you never sat on a ice cream freezer while someone was cranking it to make ice cream?”…You could tell she thought that was last century stuff…you know what, it is…Folks really, I know I ask you for comments and you don’t care to leave a note, but please talk to me on this,…..am I getting that damn old?….People don’t know what home made ice cream freezers are anymore? That is really sad….Every child in America should have to sit on an ice cream freezer while it is being cranked. You learn so much waiting on good ice cream, about sharing a bowl of ice cream with family and friends, about patience and anticipation of something good to come, about sharing the work for something good, I think I could go on and on regarding the values of home made ice cream….Maybe that is what is wrong with America? Reckon?….What do you think?…..
