Notebook

As one becomes older, it is so
easy to become set it one’s ways.
Everyday we have a set routine
of dressing, eating, brushing teeth,
making beds, etc. And when things
happen to break this procedure we
can become upset.
When we were younger and
children filled the household, it
was more difficult to follow a
schedule. But now that they have
gone off to college, it is so easy to
be mt-picky. Everything must be
in its proper place and stay there.
So when they come home for a
weekend, I think the place looks
like a hurricane hit it. Books, back
packs, jackets, shoes and papers
everywhere but, I’m so glad to
see them.
However, I've learned that many
things have to change. Other
years, in the fall, I’d try to
schedule a day to wax the car when
someone was here to help me. But

this year 1 managed to wash and
wax two cars in one afternoon by
myself although, it didn’t do any
good for my elbows and shoulders.
Another limbering up job was
raking and hauling out the maple
tree leaves. Formerly, I’d always
piled them for the children to haul
when they got home from school
but not this year.
Even emptying and defrosting
the freezers can be done quicker
with four hands than with only two.
I’ve also learned to put up some of
my pea fences in the spring
without any help. Unrolling a 100-
foot fence alone, without catching
it on the tender plants, is a real
feat.
As for right now, 1 think I’d
better plan to make some pies on.
Wednesday. This year 1 hope to
make not only pumpkin but also
apple-cranberry pie as well.

use the second half for Christmas.
After I stuff the cavity, I cover the
filling with aluminum foil and then
put the bird in a brown paper bag.
This not only gives me a moist and
golden brown turkey without
basting, but also keeps my oven
from being spattered.
