Finer Things Friday: Summer Bliss

by Amy on July 22, 2010

It was so perfect I forgot to take photos.

Homemade Butterfinger ice cream, straight out of our White Mountain Freezer.

Family gathered with a neighbor friend on our freshly painted (yesterday) picnic table.

picnic Finer Things Friday: Summer Bliss

Not too sweltering, only-a-little-windy Kansas evening.

Thanks for the link-up opportunity. I’m obsessed with home-made ice-cream. I just wish it didn’t take so much time!

I look forward to coming back many more times!

2 Amy July 30, 2010 at 2:36 pm: @Andrea, Our white mountain freezes it in about 20 minutes. With mixing and everything, I can have homemade ice cream in 30-40 minutes. Love it!
