I just found one of my favorite 5th Dimension songs on you tube and had to put it on my blog! I haven't heard this song in a very long time! I had this album on 8 track when I was a teenager! Boy, that will date me! Huh! Anyway, my brother Steven had an 8 track player rigged up in his room to speakers and I would go in and put this song on and listen to it. I would lay on the floor near the speakers so I could be right in with it! I loved the piano part and also Marilyn McCoo's voice on this song! I also had an 8 track player in my little green gremlin car that was my first car that I bought myself. But it never sounded as good as it did coming from the speakers. I don't know whatever happened to that player and that tape. Lost and gone forever I guess. Like a lot of the things we collect and then get rid of during our lives! That's the cool thing about the computer age we live in now!
One of the 8 tracks that Steven had was Simon and Garfunkel. I loved that tape! He had an 8 track in his black mustang and I remember going somewhere with him and listening to them. It was so way cool! Ha Ha
He would play it in his room with the speakers also. I loved it! And now we can put all the music we want to hear on a little hand held Ipod and take it wherever we go and listen with our little ear bud ear phones! Its so amazing! And I am going to end this now because it is making me sound old and I am not! So there! Put that in your book!

Law #4 Ice Cream
Yummy! Yummy ooeey gooey bowl of Ice Cream dripping with Chocolate fudge topped with lovely white whipping cream with a nice red maraschino cherry perched on the top! Okay you can forget the cherry! I hate maraschino cherries!! I always give mine to hubby or it conveniently falls off. I must admit that it has been quite a long time since I have indulged. At least with the chocolate fudge and whipped cream. I still have the ice cream now and again only because I love it! Especially the vanilla persuasions! Vanilla Bean, French Vanilla and plain Vanilla are my favs! And why has it been a while, you ask? I am sure you know! No. 4-THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST ICE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE MAKING YOU FAT!
I remember as a child we were all sitting around eating Ice Cream. The older siblings were at the larger table in the dining room and the younger ones at the card table in the kitchen. Those of us at the card table decided it would be cool to stir the ice cream and make it creamier! So we proceeded to stir! It was vanilla ice cream! We were into the stirring when all of a sudden - “Stop stirring your ice cream!!” Our spoons immediately stopped! But it didn’t matter. The ice cream was nice and smooth and creamy! Now, every time I eat ice cream and have the urge to stir I think of my dad yelling at us to stop. I think it was nice of him to wait to yell until it had become the perfect consistency!
It seems to me that as a child, eating ice cream and chocolate didn’t have the same effect on the body as it does as an adult. Maybe it was because we didn’t have it all that often or maybe it was because we were more active as children. We did not eat out very often at all and mother always made a point of feeding us as nutritiously as she could with what we had. It wasn’t until I became an adult and was in control of my own choices as far as food that the pounds began to add up! I remember when we had returned to Salt Lake after Bruce graduated from Southern Utah we were living with his Dad for a while. This was a difficult time as Bruce was searching for an accounting job and was not having much success and living with parents when you are married is always a difficult thing. I can’t remember who came up with this but we discovered that cooked chocolate Malt O Meal cereal topped with vanilla ice cream was the thing to do! It was so delicious!! I am afraid I indulged in this treat a little too often! And it wasn’t just for breakfast! So yummy!!
Then came the invention of Magic Shell topping for ice cream! Put it on the ice cream and it hardens up! So good! The first time Bruce’s dad bought some he put it in the fridge! Needless to say it became hard in the bottle. We laughed! Reese’s Peanut butter Magic Shell on Vanilla Bean Ice Cream! Love it!!
