December always marks a
change m life style for me.
No longer do I go out to do
battle with the weeds in my
yard and garden. No longer
do I stoop and bend as I
harvest my crops from
strawberries in the spring to
beans m the fall. And with

As I “sit” and pick the
kernels from the shells, I
remember the dried flowers
in their box of borax, corn
meal and salt. So m the
afternoon I gather dried
marigolds, zinnias, salvia,
scabiosa, etc.
Writing also takes a bit of
my time as I’ve now added a
new responsibility that of
writing for a local tourist
newspaper. These articles
deal with historical facts and
interesting stones from
yesteryear.

We do not send a long
mimeographed letter to our
friends but rather I write
short notes to those who live
far away. When I get a two
or three page typed letter
during the busy Christmas
season, I’m likely to look at
the bottom line to see who
sent it and then lay it aside
and hope to read it later

furniture and even construct
built-ms. Many of us need
tools for crafts activities.
Hammers, saws, a set of
screw drivers with a variety
of tips, a mitre box, a
wrench, a jig saw, a hand or
electric drill, and a steel
retractable measuring tape
are just a few of the most
obvious.
One way to find out if
someone has a tool you’re

will want to buy the best you
can afford to suit the job it
most probably will be used to
do. Good tools last a long
t’*ne when used and taken
care of properly. Shop
carefully and compare
features and warranties.
If you don’t own a lot of
tools yourself or don't know
a lot about buying them, find
out from friends who the
most reliable and reputable
dealer in your area is. That
way, you can ask questions,
and the person who receives
the tool can have it repaired
or replaced later on, if
necessary.
