Justine... That "lemon yellow" dress dress is devine! 👍🍋

[@rabbit.of.ill.portent9303]

Isn't it the sweetest dress? Very much her color 💛

[@Zulma1307]

I love yellow and in Justine it looks great!

[@denaestes740]

I agree, you look so pretty in yellow!!!!!❤😊

[@OofusTwillip]

It's utterly divine! (If you're familiar with Andy Devine, you'll see it's nothing like him.) 🤓

[@ardicesaugar3979]

Love the yellow dress. It looks divine!

[@michellepiccolo4564]

The sound effect as Justine's watermelon half hit the ground just cracked me up for some reason. You guys are just too darn cute!😅

[@RobinKasten-e4f]

I amd definitely making this over this weekend. I LOVE lemonade.

[@yolandasandstrom8653]

You two are so cute.

[@labnurse1]

My hubbie and I have been married 47 years and he hasn't worn a ring except for our honeymoon. Ron don't worry. It's not the ring that makes the marriage.

[@jodic7760]

I used to have a wedding ring, but unfortunately lost it in a thanksgiving turkey debacle. I strip searched that bird, but never saw it again….embarrassing.

[@angelas4681]

@@jodic7760 OMG...LMAO!

[@tracysmith7935]

My husband was an auto mechanic so didn't wear a wedding band. A ring could cause injury plus get damaged if worn while your hand is crammed into or between engine parts.

[@cheoahsnowbird]

My husband and I only wore our rings occasionally when we went out. I had the honor of being his wife for 25 years as he passed in early April. It’s the vows that count.

[@GrumpyMeow-Meow]

@@cheoahsnowbirdI’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs.

[@angelaross1]

The best thing a woodworker can do is leave his wedding ring at home. Helps to keep his fingers on his hands

[@theproplady]

My Dad was an electrician who couldn't wear his ring because he placed his hands near electrified metal panels.

[@ridingtheroad185]

my husband was working on our car and needed to disconnect the battery....yeah the wrench and ring in contact with the terminal...had to cut the ring off his finger and he had a burn, so he refused to wear one again.

[@LauraAndDonsConcentricCircles]

A supervisor of mine lost his wedding ring finger while working on a military airplane.

[@susiejones4610]

One of my husband’s coworkers lost his finger because he was wearing his wedding ring at work. My husband does not wear his wedding ring when he’s at work. This is at my request. I want to keep my husband safe. Both of you guys be careful when you’re working at your new home building.

[@jillakison3638]

Watermelon and lemonade, wonderful summertime favorites. That is special to grow your own watermelon. I hope you harvest many more this summer.

[@maryomen3841]

I have another fun flag fact. When it came time to redesign the flag after Alaska and Hawaii were adopted in as States the government had a contest with the citizens of the country on what the new design should be. A teacher assigned her students this as an assignment and then submitted the designs to the committee choosing the flag. One of her students ended up with the winning design! However the teacher in question actually didn’t like the design and gave it low grade. The student came back and asked her to change it to an A the following year after he returned with the letter from the President etc. congratulating him on his winning design!

[@suedishop1446]

Bob Heft from Napoleon, Ohio

He designed the flag

[@maryomen3841]

@@suedishop1446 Thank you!!! My grandfather actually grew up near him and knew him I couldn’t remember his name!! I still live in Columbus that’s how I know the story about it.

[@bonniegarber9915]

That's a great story! I'm an Ohioen and I don't recall ever hearing that story! But I bet we did study it in Ohio history around the 5th grade. I'm only 68 so I've git a little leeway fir forgetting a few things 😂.

[@nanettewood8213]

Salt on your watermelon is like putting salt on your tomatoes it brings out the sweetness.

[@NannaNeely]

To me salt changes the sweet taste to a none sweet taste and doesn't make sweeter than before.

[@gplourdes]

Watermelon the Mexican way. With seasoning/chile & lime😋

[@01Lenda]

O yes!

[@johnr.1944]

Con Tajin!

[@coreenvolovski4470]

Justine, have you ever done a recipe with Elderberries? I know many things can be made from them.. were they popular in the 1800’s?

[@missyyouknow6002]

She did a video giving Ron elderberry syrup for his cold.

[@rosemariemello6675]

The yellow dress looks so beautiful on you, Justine 💛 Love you guys and look forward to these videos every week.

[@c.s.oneill2079]

You two are wonderful. So down to earth.

[@JanisJoplin70sGirl]

Ron's impression of the woman yelling at the security guard is perfect! 🤣 No one wants the kid running around, because we all know they will eventually get hurt then youll have a screaming/crying child lol

[@terryt.1643]

The guard at our SS office handed out crayons and coloring books to kids. So I used to buy a few and give them to him when I had to go in because he used his own money.

[@JanisJoplin70sGirl]

@@terryt.1643 Ive never seen a guard at any SS office ive been too. Now i need to go find one! 😂

[@OofusTwillip]

If I'd been there, I'd have used some of my character voices on the kid. (I voiced 31 characters on the children's TV show, "Mighty Machines".

[@billiejomcmillan7632]

I can appreciate dealing with these kind of people. I drive city bus for a living.

[@lindamalkas3302]

Horses love watermelon. I give them the rind all the time.

[@trtlgrrl]

That lemonade almost sounds like a liquid form of lemon merengue pie. I'm going to make it!

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Dearest Ron and Justine, I am 70 and, by experience, have made the correlation of the Social Security Office being exactly the same environment as Walmart. You never know what's going to happen, never feel comfortable being there, and can't be yourself because no one knows your joking. Love your channel!

[@mdeysenroth]

Justine, I love that you wore a lemon yellow dress for your lemonade video!

[@pamelaromero2364]

There was a company back in the 90’s called Orange Julius that put raw egg in their orange drink. It was a delicious drink and quite popular until the salmonella scare.

[@historybarf]

I didn’t know they did that. I drank loads of it.

[@melissajohnson6501]

I love this idea! I homeschool my daughter, and this year, we are doing "historical food studies" so this is one we will definitely add into the rotation!

[@GetNGlam]

Hi Justine! Your beautiful yellow dress is lovely! 💛💛💛

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Ron - when I started farming after I retired from a career in IT, I found myself needing to work with my hands more. I switched to wearing a silicone rubber ring. They are WAY safer than wearing a metal ring for folks who work with their hands, especially around spinning devices like a lathe or a tractor PTO. As an added bonus - the silicone rings are dirt cheap - so if you beat one up or get tired of how it looks, it's no great tragedy to dump it and buy another. Take care and God Bless.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

My thoughts too. Have seen many mechanics/farmers wear them.

[@CherylOstrowskiKass]

Cannot wait till after work to watch. ❤ you both. Everyone, have a great night.

[@phoebedigs1356]

Us Marylanders like salt on our cantaloupe.

[@bettylavergne3410]

My Cajun husband puts black pepper on cantaloupe!

[@terryt.1643]

Me, too, I use salt. I think it makes the taste sweeter and stronger…

[@MarjenaSloan]

​, my dad did, too. The rest of us liked salt but I have gotten so I like it plain.

[@mariemorgan7759]

My mom likes salt on mangoes and strawberries. I used to put sugar on strawberries, now I cannot stand anything on fruits I eat.

[@pattydenton8373]

I've always put salt on both watermelon and cantaloupe.

[@jodic7760]

My Grandmother used to make the best watermelon rind pickles. She was an amazing cook and never used recipes, so unfortunately I don’t have any to share, but save your rinds. On a different note, I love your dress!

[@ann40069]

We have Huckleberry Lemonade here in Northwest Wyoming 🍋🤠

[@GrumpyMeow-Meow]

Ron, you can’t joke about explosives in an SS office. It’s federal property. Like airports, you can’t joke about that stuff. It’s ridiculous, but if you get a security person in a bad mood, look out.

[@karencharleston9475]

Watermelon and feta cheese…THE BEST!

[@Ashlee1985]

😂 The social security office story had me laughing

[@AllenMZim]

Watermelon and lemonade are a tried and true combination, especially when they're combined into the delightful nectar we've all come to know as watermelon lemonade! 😃 I hope everyone's having a most wonderful and enjoyable week so far! 🙌✨

[@mrsta1267]

I'll have to try that!

[@AllenMZim]

@@mrsta1267 Please do! It's so delicious and just as refreshing as regular lemonade! 😋

[@01Lenda]

That sounds delicious!

[@michelefritchie6198]

You can also pickle the rinds of watermelon, as well as cantaloupe. Originally, peanut butter, hamburgers, what today is baby food (pureed meats and vegetables, etc.) as well as soda, were originally used as medicine.

[@LindaL-u3b]

Great idea that you came to sit outside on a hot day. So much better.

[@anitacicora2779]

Agree with Ron re: it might taste better cold…lol. In 1974 spent 2 weeks in Poland and all the drinks were room temp and definitely would have been better cold!! Same way with watermelon, always better cold…

[@pattyfromherz9965]

My Dad used to put salt on his apples

[@ScottHead]

Margarita leans upon lime juice. Yum!

[@mrsta1267]

I wonder if that lemonade is kind of like apple juice vs spiced apple cider. It sounds interesting. Thank you for being outside rather then inside with a fire, at least there's a breeze! Love LOVE your dress ❤.

[@TJ21222]

My Grandma made watermelon pickles out of the rinds and they was delicious. ❤

[@historybarf]

My dad loved those.

[@Diebulfrog79]

It’s call a flip, add rum 🍹 for holidays

[@user-sk3pi1me2f]

Ron.... WHAT IS UP WITH THAT HAT? I would think that the design would defeat one of the purposes of wide brimmed hats, to keep the sun off of you as it allows the sun to shine directly on your RED NECK. :)

[@TeresaAnneCesarini]

So true at SS office. Need to put your armor on!!! 😅

[@maurac953]

Thanks for this episode. So interesting! BTW, I don't put salt or sugar on watermelon but I LOVE cantaloupe with salt. It amps up the flavor tremendously. Try it sometime! It really is good. A little salt on apples tastes great, too.

[@billiejomcmillan7632]

My experience at SS office: when I changed to my married name, I listed all of the names I've had (or so I thought). My last name changed several times in my childhood. I failed to list one of them cause I didn't even know about that one. That clerk just griped me out one side and down the other. When he finally stopped, I said that I was sorry but I didn't know about that. I was first given my mom's name before she married my dad 6 weeks later. Then I was given his name. If she ever told me, I didn't remember. But that guy was just so rude.

[@pamelagreen1307]

I live in South Ga, and we love salt on watermelon!! Cantaloupe too!!

Not sure if you take suggestions but there is a drink called wassail it’s more of a fall/winter type drink but it very yummy. It is a ancient English Yuletide drink my family makes it

[@ScottHead]

Watermelon grown at home is amazing! Store-bought seedless varieties are bred to have no seeds but at the cost of flavor. One exceptional variety that does well in the south is the CHarleston Grey. Super flavor! Glad you got a great melon!

[@michelefritchie6198]

I've heard of egg coffee. I remember one time when I was a kid, our percolator broke down, so mom made coffee on the stove in a saucepan until she bought a new percolator. I heard the adults talking about egg coffee. I think the idea was the egg would keep the grounds out of your cup. This was back in the 60s.

How you describe the SS guard is exactly how ours is here where I live. They won't let you bring in water, but they will get on to ppl about their phones. Have to go outside. One time one was yelling at a woman about her "pepper spray", it was an asthma inhaler. 🤦‍♀️

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

Great video today! So glad to see you both outside to keep cooler. The lemonade sounds great! I would probably use honey rather than white sugar, tough. Justine, there will come a time when Justine Dorn will seem a bit wierd to say. 😉 Love you guys, too! Have a great week! Sue 😊❤

[@danawinslett7505]

Good move taking the show outside. Don't worry about the name change. I'd been married for 24 years and one day signed my maiden name on a check! The teller laughed and I laughed, and I have no idea why that happened.

You are right guys , back in the 70s my future mil took us to her favorite jewelers and we ended up paying over 300 hundred dollars for our simple gold bands imagine what it would cost now for 14 k gold. That's 300 each ring, we were crazy.

[@cindyrissal3628]

I tried growing watermelon one year. My biggest one had one big spoonful of pink stuff in each half. And that was it. The growing season just wasn't long enough here in Montana. There may be faster growing varieties now, so maybe I'd get better results...😊🍉

My Dad didn't wear a ring, either. He had a job as a mail carrier (walking with a heavy leather bag on his back). But he did lots of manual labor (gardening with Mom, mowing, carpentry, home improvement, etc.) Naturally, he couldn't wear his wedding ring. What a beautiful day to have special lemonade and home-grown watermelon! And you looked like a summer day in your yellow dress. I felt refreshed from simply watching and listening to your chat. Stay cool, you two.

Some of my fondest memories are of devouring huge slices of watermelon in the garden of my grandpa's farm, with him, my dad, and my little brother, all of us slurping and belching as loudly as possible. Then, we'd go inside, and watch "Hee Haw". Mom was too much of a lady to join us for any of this. She missed out on all the fun.

Hello everyone !! From rural Ohio !!!

[@btpuppy2]

You might not have newfangled things like juicers, but you’re always supposed to juice the whole melon, including the rind and it makes for a very rich, thick, good tasting much healthier juice. If you only use the pink part, it’s just like sugar, water, and hits your bloodstream very fast.

[@safiremorningstar]

Yes Americans are very well-known besides putting salt on everything putting sugar on everything...

[@cindyrissal3628]

OMG!! A watermelon with seeds!! I love the real, old fashioned ones w/ seeds. They taste SO much better. (Ron...it really isnt that much effort to spit seeds...didn't you ever have spitting contests as a kid?? 😂) And, btw, salt on a watermelon is GROSS!! 🤢🤮

[@changarookitty6920]

In Arizona there are Mall restaurants called ORANGE JULIUS and they would make an orange juice whippwd drink that has egg in it. Sounds like your lemonaide.
