But beyond that I miss the Helms bakery truck more. Donuts, cupcakes, pies, cakes and bread. I loved this truck with slide out drawers full of magical treats. I remember back when hurricane Donna hit! We lived on radio rd in Naples! I walked down our road to get milk they left,because we had too much water to come down. Slipped on our porch and cut myself. Back then they had glass gallons of milk! I don’t remember them coming to our house, however I do remember them coming to my Granny Lindsey’s…and her ordering ice cream and fudgecicles when we were there.

Also got to the the Pepsi bottles and cash them in and get to buy candy. Yes, we had a milkman that not only delivered milk but butter , çream and eggs as well.
