Ida s Notebook
In many areas, I believe we tend to think
our problems are unique. It is only when we
learn to communicate and share that we dis
cover we are one among many.
Other parents have the same decisions to
make regarding their children and the same
concerns. More people than we 'realize
struggle under difficult financial conditions.
Often, when we think we have an unusual
health problem, we learn that many more suf
fer the same symptoms and discomforts.
I meant to recommend an honest ex
change of conversation and fellowship among
friends, but maybe I’ve only said “misery
loves company.” Solitude and isolation have
their place but only a small place.
A few years ago when my son was doing
DHIA testing he was required. one leap the young man was on

, Do most farmers feel out
raged as I do -when a new pile
of junk is laying in the field?
This morning, -we acquired
one dozen beer cans, an ice bag,
cigarette cartons and the re
mains of a chicken dinner.
Sometimes we are lucky and
get bigger items. Recently there
was an old TV set, automobile
batteries, part of a bicycle and
some tires put into a wooded
area.
If only we would see these
choice items being unloaded.-As
it is, we pick up and clean up
for others.
