; Notebook
~
If spring is a time for
painting and sprucing up,
then I’d say spring has
arrived at the Kisser house.
The trouble is that there
seems to be no end to the
work. When one room is
finished, another cries for
attention with badly cracked
plaster and a need for a new
floor covering.
After a late snow, we
discovered that some slate
has blown off the roof and
must be replaced. The last
thing we need at this point is
a leaking house.
Mixing and matching
surely isn’t a new idea as
I’ve been checking and find
that our old house has no less
than five different types of
window frames. So as we
remodel, I suppose one more
kind won’t make any dif
ference.
Reading is something I
love to do; if and when I find
time. Usually I just relearn
something 1 already knew
but once in a while you’ll
come across a new item or
idea
A recent article recom
mended that thick potato
peelings be planted in the
garden instead of using the
tubers themselves-thnfty if
it works. Another thing
which caught m> eye was
“edible violets.”
My grandmother Landis
always ate the first violet
that she saw in the spring
Mrs. Ben Wenger an
nounced what the group will
have a food stand on April 1
at Everett Kreider’s sale.
A donation of $lOO will be
given to the youth
Scholarship fund at the
Solanco High School
Frank Taylor from PP&L
spoke to the group on safety
in the home. The program
for the next meeting will be a
trip to Hershey Medical
Center April 21

because it would bring her
good health. Now it appears
that the leaves and flowers
arc used for salads and a
delicately flavored vinegar
can be made also.
Soon I'll be digging dan

As u child I was sent out to
Mather dandelion flowers to
