Notebook
Ida Risser
Our daughter flew from
California to the
Philadelphia Airport with
her five week old son, David,
and we picked her up there.
It was a bit different to have
a baby in the house again.
We hunted the bassinet
and brought it from the attic
and attempted to repair it as
over a dozen children from
several families have used
it.
When the tune came for
them to leave, we decided to
drive them to the baby’s
other set of grandparents in
New York State. And while
we were that far from home
concluded that we might as
well spend a few extra days
traveling through the White
Mountains of New Hamp
shire.
We arrived at the top of
two of the highest mountains
by entirely different
methods of transportation.
After paying admission, we
drove eight miles, almost to
the summit of Whiteface
Mountain which is 4867 feet
above sea level. Then we
struggled up the last boulder
strewn path on foot.
It was the same as clim
bing our 80 foot silo sixteen
times without stopping to
rest—don’t know if we could

Then Mt. Washington was
conquered, not by us, but by
a slow moving cog railway
engine and car that burned
one ton of soft coal and used
1000 gallons of water to drag
us to the top. The area there
is similar to the tundra and
has a weather observatory
at the top of this highest
mountain in the New
England states.
Another memorable ex
perience was our three hour
cruise through the Thousand
Islands in Ontario, Canada.
Some of the smaller islands
are completely covered by a
house as large as them
selves. Others are used all
year and have schools, post
offices and shoppmg malls.
One of them has a very
large uncompleted castle
which is open for inspection
for a price. Over $2 million
already was spent on it in
1904 when work was halted
by the death of the owner’s
wife.
We had no trouble getting
accommodations as motels
were not full and we could
travel late into the night

And now, back home to the
blueberry and raspberry
picking.
