Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
It seems as though each season
brings its own type of work. Just
now I’m putting some 50 new
houseplants in plastic pots, clay
pots and even tin cans. Those that
need dry soil go into the clay pots
as they don’t retain moisture.
Walnuts, walnuts everywhere.
So far I’ve picked up about six
bushel and loads are still laying
around. If anyone is willing to pick
them up they may have them. A
very kind, older gentleman from
Morgantown cracked a lot of them
for me last year.
This summer our aluminum
boat disappeared from behind our
bam where it was parked with
some farm machinery. When we
discovered that it was missing, we
fell that we would never see it
again. But my husband walked the
banks of the Conestoga and finally
found it, minus the two oars, about
a mile from home. Apparently
some young boys, who were in our
meadow, needed transportation to

the other side of the river and took
it.
This past weekend I drove to see
our daughter, Cindy, who lives in
Tunkhannock. Now this three hour
drive is nothing for her but to me,
driving alone, it was a long jour
ney. The next weekend she plans
to drive, alone, to a wedding in
Maine and doesn’t seem con
cerned about the very long trip.
One evening, while visiting her,
I went with her to an Antique Show
where she played her flute in a
musical ensemble. The next day
we drove to Binghamton, N.Y.,
where we shopped for a dress for
me to wear to my son’s wedding in
Chicago in November. Some of
the newer styles remind me of the
clothing my mother and great aunt
wore long, long ago- lace collars
and all. We finally found one
which I would call “quietly eleg
ant” as it is a pale gray. Shopping is
not my thing!
