It was a beautiful day. We went to church and then came home for a relaxing family day. I fixed lunch and tried to do things like my mom would have done for my dad. One thing my dad has always loved is homemade ice cream. We got his old ice cream freezer out and filled it with my mom's vanilla ice cream recipe. I plugged it in and..........nothing! The motor hummed but wouldn't turn. I was so frustrated! Because we always had homemade ice cream at my mom's house I never owned a big churn. We have a tiny one that we used when our family was small. :o) I thought I would just make it several times until everyone had some. I got it ready and plugged it in and .........nothing! I looked at McKenzie and said, "Let's go to Wal-Mart"! We live out in the country and our closest town is pretty small. We walked all over Wal-Mart only to find out that they were sold out! Our last hope was Ace Hardware (if it was even open)! It was and they did have a freezer. I didn't even care what it cost! An hour later we were back at the house finally ready to make the ice cream. We pulled into the driveway and Matthew proudly announced that they had fixed BOTH motors! Grrrrr.... We made the ice cream in the new freezer and it turned out great and everyone was happy! :o)
