84—Lancaster farming, Saturday. January 29,1983 Ida’s Notebook Ida Bisser Wintertime is a wonderful time to look at pictures that were taken in the summer or spring. It really doesn’t even matter if they were recent snapshots as sometimes the older ones are the most in teresting. I've sorted mine into different years and now share them with the grandchildren. When I re-examine the recent Christmas photos of our family, it is just like reliving the experiences of all being together again. My children all own cameras and some have several expensive models. They’ve even taken courses in photography and en tered some in contests and won prizes. My talent is lacking in that area as I have trouble placing a group of people in the center of a picture.

I believe he faust have been given a camera as a child as many of his pictures are brown and yellow from age. There are pic tures taken indoors of his family and pets which I think is unusual for that time. Some include men working in the fields, his own personal horse and the machinery used in the 1800 s. Recently I was able to share some of these with a professor who is publishing a pictorial history of the Pa. Dutch Country. They in cluded an old car, a steam engine, wheat binder, distillery and a Civil War gun mill. I’-
