Maine. Quite often our breakfast
was eaten in the lobby of the hotel
where we stayed overnight.
Doughnuts and coffee are not a
breakfast to eat if you do not want
to gain a few pounds. I’ve been
able to lose 15 pounds this sum
mer.
On our next to the last day we
had a guided tour of Portland
which is Maine’s largest city. It
was destroyed three times but
always rebuilt. Our bus traveled to
the Portland Head Light, one of
the oldest lighthouses in contin
ued use in the United States.
We were given time to shop
and walk around on the cobble
stone streets and see the old gas
street lights. Allen and I spent a
few hours in the biggest antique
shop that I’d ever seen. It had hun
dreds of thousands of items both
big and small. There were display
cases of silverware and jewelry.
And, there were large items like
beds, chests and tables. It was
quite interesting to check the
prices of items that compared to

DEEP TILLS
penetrate the soil as deep as 18 inches to break up
plow sole and hardpan.
Moisture from snow and rain is absorbed deep into the
soil. Topsoil is left rough and a certain amount of residue
remains to combat wind and erosion. Deep Tills are
available in widths of 7*6" to 27'6" with optional coulters
for cutting residue.
Find out more about the value of deep tilling...stop in and
we'll talk.
SOIL BUILDERS
Soil Builders (Coulter-Chisel). Coulter
gangs can be hydraulically controlled to
save maintenance dollars. A number of
different points available.

In the afternoon we drove by a
Wedding Cake House, which had
many decorations, on our way to
see former President Bush’s sum
mer home at Kennebunkport. This
town has no gas station or grocery
store. The last stop of the day was
a Franciscan Monastery. Here, for
one dollar, you could light a can
dle to honor someone.
On our way home we toured
Mark Twain’s house in Hartford,
Connecticut. This unusual 19-
room Victorian house was built in
1873-74 and had bricks painted
red and yellow on the outside. The
last place of interest was the
American Clock and Watch
Museum in Bristol, Conn. Here
we saw some 3,000 clocks, watch
es and tower clocks. Many grand
father clocks were set to strike
simultaneously and we happened
to arrive there at ten minutes of
twelve. Some of the clocks dated
back to the 15905.
Our trip ended with a very nice
family style dinner in Allentown.
We were glad to be home again.

ability to maintain a healthy atti

Helen rents the land and one
side of the double farmhouse to
someone else, but she keeps fit by

five great grandchildren.

“I stay active and the Lord’s
been good to me.” are Marian’s
explanations for her longevity.
A pin was presented to Cora
