Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Kisser
The holidays are over, but the
memories still linger. It was a busy
time. Having the family home was
very nice but it is also pleasant to
again settle into a regular routine.
Some of the boys drove
ridiculous hours in order to get
here. One drove over icy roads and
through snowstorms for 18 con
tinuous hours - the whole way from
Wisconsin. The other drove 20
hours without stopping on his drive
from Maine. On top of that, his car
broke down at 3:30 a.m. on a main
road and he had to wait until
daylight when a policeman
awakened him and took him for
parts so that he could repair the
engine.
We have a houseguest from
Georgia and another houseguest
that we picked up at the
Philadelphia Airport. He came
from Wisconsin and stayed with us
for five days. He helped the men
work. They repaired the manure
spreader, hung a large gate, in
stalled metal window frames in the
bam, put sawdust in the cow stalls,
dug a drainage ditch, dehorned
heifers and roughened the cement
floor in the heifer bam with a
rented electric jackhammer. It

children helped to add boards to
the tables and carry chairs from
the attic. I put myself to sleep at
night by counting my chairs to be
sure that I had enough to seat
everyone at the tables.
I really enjoyed having my two
year-old granddaughter here two
days in a row as then she was more
familiar with her surroundings and
would run and hug me. There is
nothing like a little loving to make
one feel wanted and happy. So
often we hold back our true
feelings until it is too late to show
them to those that we love.
The storm will pass. And
thankfully, so will you with a
Kubota snowblower.
We have snowblowers that
attach to most Kubota diesel
tractors, and they are a cinch to
operate. They clear snow from
driveways, roads or parking lots.
