Blanche would churn the butter by hand in the cellar where it was cooler. She then took it upstairs into the kitchen and used a paddle to shape it into blocks. One of the first purchases after gaining electricity in 1948 was a butter churner. She would sell the butter to the neighbors. She also would sell eggs, vegetables grown in the garden across the road. The gladiolas she would sell only to her best customers. She also made home made ice cream from the rich milk the cows gave. Some of the flavors remembered were: Vanilla, Peach and the fourth of July speciality: Tutti-frutti. Phyllis B. Van Dien Hammond remembers, her Grandmother used to take the feedbags cloth which was usually a very colorful muslin fabric and make quilts and aprons from them. Rheba Van Dien McKernan and Vickie Stephens Van Dien have two of these quilts made from this material
