Visits to Grandpa Hansen's ranch were special to Mother. In fact, she felt Grandpa Hansen was her ideal person. She felt he made the best bread in all the world. He always kept the loaves in a small trunk, wrapped in red and white checkered cloth and she loved to see it come out for eating. In addition, Grandpa Hansen raised the best apples in all the world. However, he had a rooster that did not like kids and so the kids always had to be on the lookout for the rooster to come around them. Otherwise, everything was great at the ranch. She felt the bread and butter was always delicious and the milk was always ice cold. And their root cellar was always full of vegetables in the winter time.
