Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
When I tucked away some of
the last Christmas ornaments, I
took a bit of time to look at some
other items in my cedar chest. The
red wool stockings that I hang at
the mantel are kept in a chest that
my grandfather had bought for me
when I graduated from high
school.
In a comer was a crib quilt that
belonged to my grandmother and
laying on top of some homespun
linen was a large colorful quilt
from a great grandmother. The
linen has initials marked in ink in
one comer of the heavy material.
Pink yam was carefully wrapped
in tissue paper. It was leftover
from a snowsuit that was made
especially for our first daughter.
I opened a scroll tied with a
white and blue ribbon and discov

watch with a leather fob lay near
by but it would not run.
When I opened a small round
wooden container, I found some
dishes and nickels from the
1950’5. However, one coin that
I’d found in the driveway was
much older. It was a very tiny, thin
United States three cent piece
from 1853. It was apparently lost
before and I am afraid it will get
lost again.
This year I spent one day at the
Lancaster Farming booth at the
Pa. Farm Show. It is very nice to
meet some of my readers and
some of the auctioneers that I con

Pauline learned not to put tier
cakes together until after transport

various colors of frosting along in
case the cake needs touch ups.
Restaurant personnel often
praise Pauline for her well
decorated cakes. They say, “You
should see some of the cakes bake
ries deliver; they’re so sloppy.”
She offered some tips for frost
ing making. “Use vegetable shor
tening instead of butter. Don’t use
milk. That way there’s nothing to
spoil or change flavor during
humid weather. Use butter flavor
