It was 1956
and I had fallen off of our beloved mare, Blondie. At 20 months old, I already knew the joy of
riding horseback and begged to get back on again, at least to ride back to the
barn. My Grandfather relented (he was
always most happy to let me ride horses).
As they sat me back up in the saddle, I wiped away my tears and said
“The Lone Ranger Rides Again.”
This story has
been told over and over at family gatherings through the years for several
reasons. No one thought my heartfelt passion
for horses would last a lifetime and everyone was surprised that a child so
young would equate a television show to real life.
Thus, I knew on this recent Saturday
afternoon, when my Granddaughter tearfully begged her
Mother to ride that, indeed, The Lone Ranger Rides Again … and would ride again
… and again.

Methods/steps
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and
heat until sugar is melted and mixture is clear. Remove and chill. In a glass
bowl, combine chilled sugar syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, zest and liqueur.
Mix thoroughly, and then fold in the egg whites using an over-and-under motion.
Continue folding until no egg white streaks remain in the mixture. Pour mixture
into an ice cream maker and freeze until firm.
Jesus called them to Him saying: Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. Luke 18: 16-17
Happy trails,
