I remember one year my Daughter was 3 mos.old when we move from Elpaso Tx. to Alabama,which was in febury.
By Watermelom time she was 7 mos.old and The family got together for a watermellom cutting.we have a large family.Daddy always bought the biggest mellows he could fine.He also got a whole half for his self,The newest Baby would eat with him.and our Kathy ate till she look like she could pop.Juice was everywhere on her.Daddy scarpe the rind but left a little red in it.from the scarpins we made slushes.He took my Kathy and sat her over in the rinded,This was the cutiest site.Since i wasn't there to see the oldest 4 in thier rinds.
Families can do a lot of crazy things.....
