With Martha
This'-bas been one of manly
busy weeks and Lain :til! haven t
written to my kids in Florida. I
know they • are all excited
"settlin' insr" to this new sunny
world. New schools, new home,
new business , everything new
and different, but this is a family
who know how to adjust and
adapt to • new or ''different
situations,places and events.
You just can't stump them on
anything -- they rise to the
occasion with a nonchalance
that just floors me.
This is our new generation —
tod bless them — (and secretly
there are time when I think
"God HELP them!")
• Number two son, Doug, is
getting back into the headache
of colour T.V., but this is a
challenge, and he will be happy.
Madeline is going into 'the
business world too, and I'm sure
she will love it — she's a
• dynamo! — a nice one —! With
the children grown — Linda (a
cute red -head) now a young
lady; the twins soon wanting to
drive the car, and Jim — not a
Jiminy Cricket any more, is now
13, making four .teenagers in the
house. Little Jackie — who is
fast losinv 'HAT nickname — is
now 10_ guard tp believe!) and
this being a 'household where
EVERYONE pulls his weight
with the chores 'of everyday
living, makes Madeline feel she
can go back to the business
• world without too much worry.
So it sounds GREAT to me.
Even "Lady" their wonderful
German Shepherd — 'mostly —
seems to be enjoying her new
environment. They tell me she
runs into the small waves and
bites a chunk out of them —
then after shaking the salt water
out of her eyes she takes a bits
at the next one: I can see where
this is going to be a busy dog.
Also — "There are such a lot of
the tiniest critters here, tiny
,a toads and such cute frogs — (if
you could call a frog cute!) and
we hav�n't seen any BAD ones
yet."
•
I got a real kick out of young
Bob's tale aboiit his school, in
part he says , "out of about 30.
kids in My class, I am second
best. The first best is a great big
guy." Priceless! Children 'are the
best letter -writers, -that is, if you
can pin them down. '
Well, now, I `sort. of' got
carried . away 1. The Santa Parade
is making great strides, I am
happy to, say, and already we
can count on over a dozen floats
for sure. I'm not sure how
many school floats there will be
but we have a fine start.
Saturday I got back into the
papier-mache stuff and with the
help of four or five hardy souls,
we have a large tree or big log
well under way. What a messy
job this is! but it is fun to do.
So,Wnow that we are started —
what have you 'or haven't you
that you will need for the
parade? There are so many ideas
for these floats. You just get
working on the costumes and
background for' your float and
you will find you haven't too
much time left since it takes
time to round upa.people, things
for the scene and even things to
be made — such as: Humpty
dumpty's egg'— before and after
— the king's horses and the
king's men need to be painted
on the back drop or . have
costumes, also you will need a
part mask for the dog Who
`laughed to see such fun and the
dish ,ran away with the spoon' so
you need a large dish and a gay
spoon.
See what I mean? The wagons
or trailers — we are hoping our
farm friends will help with these,
-so we hope this will not be a
problem.
Here is a good Way to get rid
of one of those `nuisance' jobs —
the cleaning of the silver! In the
adult training centre — operated.
by The Association for the
Mentally Retarded, — for a small
fee s — and under good
, supervision, these young people
will clean your silverware.
Those ,' chests of silver,
casseroles holders, tea service
sets with trays, etc., are always
very time consuming and really
get you down. Here is agroup,of
young people — able to do such
jobs with time on their hands.
Let them do it. Call Mrs. Evelyn
Carroll 7307.
�' Y-Toimes�ville Uriilesl ,l�ur_c}�:.._.
Sunday, with some friends
who wanted to buy a bushel of
apples, I enjoyed a most
enlightening trip to some of this
district's apple orchards.
When I, want apples I buy a
small basket or a `few' or pick
one from one of the `wild' trees
in my, travels — this is usually
enough to satisfy me for
sometime. Consequently, I had
not seen any of the great apple
businesses that flourish right `
here under my nose, so to speak!
I couldn't believe thousands of
fine 'apples were stored here in
great big "refrigerators." Apples
must be stored in a cool place
but not too‘ cool. It most be 'just
so' for apple storage and I was
very surprised to see so many
flourishing businesses tucked
away on back roads in very 'off
the beaten path' farms.
Luckily they all have signs
here and there to direct you and
we visited four or five of them. I
don't know when .I've seen such
luscious. apples. Truthfully' I
didn't realize so many and such
a variety were grown around
here. For some reason I thought
a lot of them were shipped in,
but I can see where it would not
be necessary. So, you trick or
treaters — it's apples for you!
On Saturday Nov. 8, the
Arthur Circle of Knox Church is
having it's bazaar and Christmas
Fair. , These ladies have a
wonderful specialty - Christmas
decorations — from tree trifles
to beautiful table and buffet
pieces. A large variety to fit any
spot you can use them. And,
best of all, you can buy your
Christmas pudding from these
ladies, Now isn't that
SOMETHING!
When you want a really nice
Christmas 'pudding you can
never find one. It's either too big
or too small or too doggone
dear, so now you can get just
what you want. And mittens —
there's going to be lots of lovely
mitts all sizes and colors, and
they always have a fine' big Bake
Table too. So that's a week
Saturday Nov. 8.
Last week 1 mentioned again
about a bus to take folks out to
Carlow Hall. Well, no one
phoned so the ladies didn't
know what to do about it.
