This evening a friend called and asked me to join him for a motorcycle
ride to a dairy in Niagara on the Lake. He was going there to get some
orange pineapple ice cream that they can't find anywhere else. I just
went along for the ride on a lovely summer evening. While waiting in
line there was an unruly child ahead of us whose name was Graydon ....
which we heard many times as he ran back and forth. After a while she
told him if he didn't come back he would not get his watermelon sherbet.


My eyes lit up. I love that stuff and have not been able to find it for
decades. My friend had an insulated bag and some ice packs and said he
had room for another quart if I wanted to get it. So I did. I just home
a while ago and stuck in the freezer....after I has a spoonful. It's as
good as I remember it. Now I know where I can get more.

Ah! I remember watermelon sherbet. Thank you for not spelling it
"sherbert" We sold it at an ice cream parlor as a teen. Pineapple
sherbet is also very good. Oddly, I don't like eating watermelon, but
the sherbet was very refreshing.

I'm glad you found a source for it, Dave.

Love the retro look ! Some day I'll put all the pieces I have
together and I'll be riding Dad's 1939 Harley WLDD ... 45 c.i. flathead
, and the bike that really started the Bobber style , because so many of
them were sold so cheaply after WWII .

Artificial watermelon flavor anything is my least favorite, but I do
enjoy real watermelon.

I love it. I had been riding a Honda Shadow and was happy with it.....
until by friend and I traded bikes a few weeks ago. He has a 1200
Sporster. I had been thinking of upgrading, and after trying the
Sportster I wanted one. The local dealer didn't have any 1200s in stock
and they were almost twice the price. My friend and I trade bikes again
last week and he loved my new one. I liked the Bolt better the
Sportster. It's light, comfortable, fast and has lots of low end
torque. My main problem now is keeping the speed down. It's hard to keep
it down to 30 mph in town. Top gear and just the lightest throttle keeps
me at highway speed.I have to be much more careful with the throttle.

Are you kidding? I don't think I would let that kid into my house. The
only reason I know is name is because I heard it so many times when he
mother was trying to get him to come back and stand in line. I guess she
didn't want to risk losing her place. His only redeeming value is that
I heard the threat about not getting his watermelon sherbet and I asked
the mother about it being available there. I have not seen that stuff
in stores in close to 40 years.

Friendly's used to carry watermelon sherbet. I haven't been in one in
probably ten years, but I recall that the sherbet was good.

My dad used to work on Maui back in the 60's. When he came home to Honolulu, he'd bring this stuff back. It was packed with dry ice and wrapped in newspaper. It was most wonderful.

It would be great for him to make it and have Graydon help. A little
one on one time for bonding. A wonderful life changing experience for
both of them.

You would have with this kid. He was a handful.
