I’ve had a lot of good ice cream this summer so far. Traveled to Brooklyn, NY and Ashland, OR to visit two of my sons, their wives, and my precious two grandsons. What a great summer!
What did I do this summer? I broke my ice cream maker! Wahhhhhh!
But I also bought a new bike and now I’m obsessed with riding :-)
I made pancakes with avocado in the dough last week and it was (against any doubt from my love) really delicious :D
As it’s 85°F here in Germany at the moment, I really need something to cool me down ;)
Love,
Kate

Spent time with friends on our beautiful LI beaches.
The most fun thing I’ve done this summer was take my dad to his first Paul McCartney concert! He’s the reason I fell in love with Paul and The Beatles, but had never been to any of their shows, and it’s not the kind of thing he would typically buy for himself. It was a blast!
This summer, my friends and I are going to some “Country Concerts”. We are going to see: Rascal Flatts with Journey and The Band Perry, Jason Aldean with Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan with Thompson Square and Florida Georgia Line. Can’t wait for August!

Am painting my bathroom (custard yellow & white with my great-grandmother’s embroidered linen towels as curtains) and kitchen (sparkling brook blue & white) while the boy is at fishing camp. This would be great for his return… but I think I’ll skip the trout flavor.
We took our daughter to see fireworks on July 4th for the first time. More fun for us. She pointed at a couple then was over it. Oh well. Maybe next year we’ll get a better reaction.

This ice cream maker sounds like fun. I’ve attended 3 weddings this summer!
We had a graduation party for my youngest son. He graduated high school!! :)
During our family stay-cation, we made ice cream in Ziploc bags with the kids. Our older ones remembered doing this, and daughter our youngest, making it an even more fun way to spend a Summer night on the deck.
I am spending this week at the shore! Looking forward to some memory-making time with my husband and children, playing in the sand and jumping in the ocean!

How about travelling around Europe? Went to London, then Paris, followed by Madrid and Barcelona, then Rome, Venice, Florence, and Amalfi Coast/Sorrento/Positano/Naples, finished by Prague and Krakow.
The greatest art galleries and churches and castles in the world; saw the salt mines and Auschwitz in Poland, Phantom and Lion King on the West End, life size robotic dinosaurs in the Natural History Museum, London Dungeons, Tower of London, Montmartre, the Magic Fountain, the Dragon’s Lair (complete with dragon), Vatican City, and hundreds of other impossibly amazing things I couldn’t begin to remember off the top of my head.
All the while, tasting as much tapas, artisan gelati, pasta, Parisian macarons, and Czech and Polish cuisine as possible. Also lots and lots and lots of cocktails (the Europeans do it right, let me tell you!).
Wow…the ice cream looks amazing!! If making ice cream with the Cuisineart ygourt, sorbet & ice cream maker looks that yummy, I am sure the taste must be even more divine! Winning would be an absolute treat!! This summer has been a busy one. I plan each weekend of fun for our family, but by far the most I anticipate having will be at Disneyland next month. We look forward to California’s amazing food, treats, weather and beaches!
We had a family reunion on my husbands side. It was a a lot of fun and great to see so many we hadn’t seen in a while!
We finished our basement where I know have an office and craft room. We have also been going to Jeni’s too much. We love the ice cream!!!
Have made two darling Princess Crowns for my two Granddaughters – looking forward to the local garden center’s Fairy Princess Party that I take them to yearly – it’s the first weekend in August. We have to pick them up the day before as they live two hours away so it’s a whole weekend of FUN with our grandchildren! Hubby is going to do something special with grandson – like golf! Making home made ice cream with them together would finish off a wonderful weekend!
My sister and I planned a Disney Cars birthday party for our little boys who both turned 5. It was fun and sweet and the kids had a blast!

We played water balloons in the backyard over the weekend.

Went chimp-tracking in Tanzania. Winter there at the moment, but still warm enough for ice cream :)
We spent a week with the grandchildren on the shores of Lake Ontario. It was truly GRAND! A family of swans nested outside our window and each day we would watch the proud parents shepherd their 8 young cygnets out into the water. We built magnificent sand castles, played in water, visited a lighthouse, made s’mores in the evening. A week of special memories with our 3 precious grandchildren. (They live far away so times like this are treasures.)

I relaxed at home during my vacation…sometimes that is the most fun!
Maybe not the most exciting thing, but as a stay at home mom of three, the most appreciated. My son is attending a day camp about an hour from our home. I had three days last week without my younger two kids, so those were three days totally to myself. I would drop the son off in the early am, do some window shopping or running errands, and best of all, I sat in the peace of the library for 4 hours one day!
Great Giveaway and since I have been helping my mom this summer as she is gracefully aging, this would be something fun to do together.

It s so hot so i think i could use an ice cream maker!
My parents came up from new york city and took me, hubby, and my three kids to Disneyland. But since they was not around for their birthdays, we told our 3 yr old we are taking him to there to see mickey mouse for his birthday and have a cake too. We bought some small cup cake but he was happy with that and went to see mickey at his house. When he saw him (waited for 30 min on the line to see him and take a picture) we came up to him. He was on a small stage and without even knowing my 3 yr old grabbed him and give him a big hug and almost fell down in the process. Lucky mickey saved him from the fall but my little man was star struck! Awesome!!!
I moved to a new apartment! I have nothing for my kitchen so an ice cream maker would be great!
Spent some amazing times with my children! They would love an ice cream maker!

It’s been a great summer! My middle son got 19 days of leave and we spent a big chunk of it at the lake!!
I live in Michigan, but my husband is in NYC for the summer for an internship. I’ve had fun visiting him and exploring the city every other weekend since Memorial Day weekend when I moved him in and then drove 9 hours back home by myself :) Making the drive again in 2 weeks to move him back home!!
