This past Sunday our son from
Georgia asked me to take a drive
with him. We spent a few hours
simply driving in our local area.
During this time we drove through
three covered bridges and saw a
beautiful stone arch bridge.
It was a time for reminiscing as
I pointed out the place where a
blacksmith shop was previously
located. Here my father brought
his horses to be shod. We saw
large homes built along the
Conestoga River, and I told him
where houses had been burned
down. There were abandoned
stone quarries, and we took some
pictures.
One day during his visit we
were eating dinner when his bro
ther stopped in to say that he was
going to pick up some baby pigs.

After the pigs arrived, they were
something new to play with on the
farm. Our two black cats hid every
time they saw the children coming
and could only be petted at feed

Just now I have so many bou
quets. There are not enough tables
to put all of them on and properly
display them. In the living room is
a big green vase with gladiolas.
The dining room table has a vase
of large zinnias while the kitchen
table has two bouquets. One is of
asters and the other of roses. For
some reason our roses do not last
very long after they are cut. I’ve
tried putting them in hard water
instead of soft water but it does
not seem to make any difference.
Even giving them fresh cuts does
not help.

Consumers may be surprised to
find that foods they considered

dense. Although they’re low in
calories or fat, they provide little
