Notes: I can remember baking these and taking out to Dad when he was out in the fields bailing hay. Dad wrote in his journal that after a 3 day wedding trip to northern Wisconsin, we lived with my parents. I worked on the farm and Pat worked in Croft’s grocery store in Lancaster. We started producing Grade A milk that year and Pat hauled the cans of milk to a factory in Lancaster every day. We got a bulk tank and a truck started picking up the milk in 1954.”
