Ice cream and other matters

From the Street of Dreams to the Terry-Taylor Garage sale, I have had a busy weekend!
The design team went to the street of Dreams on Thursday and we got to tour 6 multi-million dollar homes. They were incredible! Each one of them was above and beyond what any family would ever need and even over the top of most things you could want. It was incredible to see. I cannot believe that there are people who actually live in homes like the ones I saw.
This weekend Jonathan and I headed down to Longview to see what treasures we could find at the terry-taylor garage sale. I did quite well if I do say so myself. I found a bread-machine for my mom, a futon for my brother, and ice-cream maker for myself and lots of clothes of course! Gloria, Laura, Teresa and I got to model our new clothes for Grandma Ruth, it was a lot of fun :)
Later than evening, Diane came over and we decided to make our own ice-cream, Jan found Grandma Ruth's recipe, stating that it was the "best in the whole world" so we picked upt he necessary supplies, and spent the next hour and a half making ice cream. And Jan is right, it is the best! Jonathan and I can't wait to make it a 4th of July Tradition.

The drive home was rather eventful, We had Jeremiah's Futon in the back of the Explorer and I noticed that the check engine light was on and that the temperature guage showed very hot. We slowed down and turned on the heat, then as it had only dropped minimally, we pulled over and let it rest for a while. When we headed back out 30 minutes later, we took it very easy on the way, but it seemed to be okay. We finally arrived at my parents house a little after 10:30pm and dropped of the futon. We got home at midnight and plan to take in the rig to see what is causing the problem so that we will be ready to go on our trip to yellowstone in two weeks.
Now it is Monday! I will try to keep ya'll posted!
God Bless!
