Making ice cream


Marv adding rock salt and ice



Shaun diligently reading instructions



The process continues!


"Rolling the ball" by Papa under the watchful eye of the 'supervisor'



Ice cream is done - who will get the bigger bite - Hannah or PaPa?!*
(*Footnote - Mom was other wise occupied when this was going on!)

So is Uncle Marv going to bring that ball to the reunion and make us all some ice cream? :)

Remember we who are coming public transportation are trying to keep our luggage down so it will be up to you to bring one! The directions with it say to make it when there are lots of people around so everyone can help roll the ball!

Where can you buy the ice cream ball? I can see that being a fun activity when all are together. Sure looked like Marv was having fun with it!

Rudonna - I'm not sure where Helen found the ball - maybe she can comment here about that. They gave it to Marv for his birthday. Yes, it was fun - Hannah was pretty excited about it, too!

Hi Minnie, Wow I saw your note on my blog and thought is that really Minnie from Dagmar back --way back then--when we were jumping on ticks! I do remember you and I think you had a sister Mabel and brother Carl? It would be wonderful to sit down with a cup of Starbucks and catch up--38 years worth--whew! How do you know Lane and Sylvia out here?
Won't take more time but so fun to see your family!--keep in touch,
Donna

I got it from LL Bean. I think I've seen them in those kitchen gadget stores in malls also.

Hi Minnie--me again..tell Carl if he is at Miltown to find me! I'm obvious as you know and I won't know him I'm sure. We'll be at both. Lane's mom is a Dissmore. It will be great to see Agnes again! Happy reunion..we should plan a Dagmar reunion..Cheryl,Linda, Lindy etc!
Enjoy Oregon, one of our favorite places~~ didn't know you lived there,
more later,
Donna

Helen.. Thanks...I also "googled" ice cream ball and found that you can get them at Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, etc. There's a qt. size at Target. Noticed that some of the others were pint sizes. Rudonna

Hope you don't mind if I add a link to my blog. I like to come visit and see farm pictures! rings back memories. My younger kids don't even know what a farm is like. Almost everyone know has gotten out of farming.

Can't even remember how I got to your blog--but, wow! how interesting! Remember you as a cute little baby at Dagmar convention. Just this week we were reading an account of the first days of our family in northwestern N.D. Your mom's family was mentioned. Am hoping to get to see your Aunt Agnes at Saginaw convention in a couple of weeks. We live in Oregon. Hope you enjoyed your reunion. We just returned from a family reunion in Charlo, Montana.
