Hot Weather

Has the hot weather slowed down the blogging, have not had a new one in two weeks?
I remember back in the 50's when we had a floor fan and left the doors and windows open. Then we got a water cooler. We could shut the windows and doors but we sure had a lot of humidity in the house. Then we went high tec and got a window air conditioner, it was amazing and I would set in front of it and let the cold air blow in my face. Now I could not survive without central air, my how times have changed.
I also remember going to the ice house with my dad and getting a block of ice. They would put it in a gunny sack and we would take it home and beat the sack with a sledge hammer, breaking the ice into small pieces. Then we would put it in the old hand crank ice cream freezer and crank and sweat until it was frozen, throw a blanket over the freezer and let it set for a while. You don't get ice cream like that now.
Well everybody stay cool and if you have a freezer make some good old ice cream. Home made peach is hard to beat.
