Ida’s Notebook by Ida Risser Ibday January 24th is our 50th wedding anniversary. Of course, we do not know what the weather will be, but I can hope it will not be as bad as in 1948. That particular day Lancaster County had a blizzard. We got to the church all right but from there on it was a struggle. Allen likes to tell the story of his uncle and aunt who lived in Philadelphia.

Shift-on-the-go with Kubota's Synchro-shuttle transmission, or choose a GST (Glide Shift Transmission) for 8 speed clutchless operation. Kubota's M-Series increases your power with two models producing 42 to 50 PTO horsepower. The M-Series 4WD models incorporate Kubota's bevel gear drive for smooth, tight turns Both the Grand L and M-Series are powered by Kubota's low noise and vibration E-TVCS diesel engines. These easy maintenance diesels are lean on both fuel and emissions, and are also environmentally friendly. Independent rear PTO and hefty 3-point hitch is standard.

After the wedding reception, everyone battled snow drifts. My brothers-in-law had to walk to my parents home. And, I can still see them sitting with their feet in my mother's old coal stove oven. Allen and I did not start on our wedding trip to Florida until the next afternoon. Weather can certainly change the best-laid plans of mice and men.
