After a lovely Gustafson reunion in Aledo,
we went to the farm home southwest
of Aledo where the Gustafsons raised their
family. This was the home that the
Grandchildren remember visiting until Gus &
Augusta moved away from the farm and went to live in Aledo.

One of the grandsons, Ralph Gustafson,
remembered Augusta rolling out the hardtack
and drying it on a broom stick fastened above
the wood stove. He always made sure that
we had hardtack in our home. And, ginger
snaps! We knew the hardtack connection to
Sweden, but did not know that the ginger
snaps were connected as well.
