At Home On The Range
Thursday, March 21 is the
first day of Spring. Spring
brings to mind flowers, rain,
new green leaves, mud, and
summer. And, when you
think of summer, you think
of something nice and cold -
ice cream.
- Did you know that the
average American con
sumed more than 23 quarts
of frozen desserts in the year
1972? Frozen desserts in
cluded ice cream, ice milk,

I’d like to share with you
some of my experiences of
the last few days here in
Seattle, Washington. My
husband and I flew here to
visit our daugher, who lives
on the shore of Lake
Washington. We left the
Philadelphia Airport and
flew west in a DC-10 jet,
which can carry 240
passengers. Our plane was
seven miles above the Earth,
and we could look “down” on
the fluffy cotton candy-like
clouds which covered the
Earth. Even though we were
flying at 470 mph, with
almost 100 mph headwinds,
we seemed to just hang
suspended at this great
height. The pilot announced
over the intercom that the
temperature outside our
plane was minus 73 degrees
F. It seemed unbelievable.
At 26,000 feet, we could see
the large, square fields m
Michigan. Later we saw
snow-covered farms in
Wisconsin. It was night-time
when we crossed the Rockies
and all we saw were the stars
in the dark sky.
As we approached Seattle,
we beheld a spectacular
display of lights - red, blue
and yellow. It was a never to
be forgotten sight as we
circled the large city prior to
landing.

We had landed in Detroit,
where our plane was delayed
due to the fact that we were
five tons over-loaded with
fuel. So, we returned to the
terminal as our supply of
fuel would have been too
great for our next landing at
Minneapolis. We changed
planes there and were
delayed again until all the
baggage was transferred.
By 7 p.m. I was hungry,
but due to the time change
we had to wait until 9 p.m. to
be served our meal. This was
only 6 o’clock Pacific time.
There was a choice of a steak
or chicken dinner, complete
with Rose’ wine and
champagne.
Each seat on the plane was
equipped with its own light,
headphones for musical
programs and a button to
call the stewardess. There
was some turbulance and we
were often told to use our
seatbelts as the ride became
rough.
Since I’ve gone into such
detail concerning the flight
out, I can only mention the
tour of “old Seattle,” which
is now underground; the
interesting walk through
Pikes Place Market, the
alder-smoked salmon served
in an Indian restaurant and
the damp trip to Fisher
man’s Wharf.
