Twenty Nine & Not Gett'n Any Younger.

I celebrated my birthday this year at my sister Beth's house.  We had a pool party and all my family came.  It was alot of fun!!  My husband bought me a cake that said

"Happy Birthday Hot Stuff".

I'm glad to see that I still have him fooled.  I also requested homemade ice cream, my absolute favorite!  I'm picky when it comes to homemade ice cream.  This is my momma's recipe, which is super good.  All the other recipes that I have tried are to creamy and rich for me.

 Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

  

2 cup sugar

1 qt. half & half

1 qt. cream

dash of salt

3 tsp. vanilla

Dissolve sugar in cream.  Add salt and vanilla; chill 30 minutes and churn in ice cream freezer. 

My husband got me what I have been wanting and what I have needed for along time...a new camera:)

He got me the Nixon S8000.

I told him I didn't care what brand he got me, just as long as he got me a camera with 10x the zoom.  Of coarse he read some reviews and did some checking around to make sure this one was a good camera cause he knew we would be having it for along time.  My last camera was about 5 or 6 years old and technology has come along way since then.  It was time to get an upgrade!

My family always does gifts.  I think it makes birthdays more exciting, so even though we are older, we still do them.  I got some other cool presents.  I got a gift card to Designer Blvd. (my favorite place to shop) and a ring from Beth & Eric, a shirt from Carrie, and Brooke & Brian got me sandals, toenail polish, and a swimsuit cover up.  They were all things that I needed so it was great!
