Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
Recently I’ve been sorting other
people’s things. It is much easier
than sorting my own things -
mine I can’t throw away. Our fam
ily seems to have an inherited
characteristic that leans toward
saving everything.
My children still have their art
work and school papers in boxes
under jdic beds. When they don’t
want the pretty pictures, I pick out
a few that I like and then reluctant
ly bum the rest.
Some of the boxes contain odd
little items like mirrors, jewelry,
tiny toys and pictures. Others have
collections of matches, stamps
and rocks. Boxes and boxes of
various stones that they collected
for 4-H geology projects. The blue
ribbons that they won are still
strung across the bedroom walls.
There are many purple rosettes
and some red and white ribbons
too.

Several pairs of ice skates were
never taken along when the boys
moved. We have natural ponds in
our meadow and so they were able
to skate most winters even if the
river didn’t freeze. Musical instru
ments were left behind and rows
and rows of books.
The other Saturday my husband
and 1 went fishing. This time we
were rather sure that we’d catch
something. You see, it was a place
where you pay for the trout that
you catch.
We only caught three compared
to the sue or seven that others
caught but we walked past the
crowd to the end of the stocked
brook where few people were
fishing. Maybe others caught
them before they got to us. But,
they surely tasted good for our
evening meal. Next time we’ll go
on a weekday.
The new Water Pro is con
structed from impact resistant
plastic and uses no electricity, so it
eliminates heating elements and
utility bills! Plus, it’s easy to install
and service. Stop by and ask to
the new
