My husband Ben and I both
grew up on farms. One of our
memories is the early morning
chore of milking the cows. We still
consider ourselves farmers, even
though the only farming we do is
our small vegetable garden.
We have two grown sons and
two beautiful little grand
daughters.
When the boys were small, we
often made homemade ice cream
with farm fresh milk and cream.
Some of the ice cream would go
into this dessert and used later for
a special treat.
