Saturday, February 21, 1998-B9 Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser Even the winter seems to be passing by quickly. I’ve looked through the brightly colored seed catalog but I have not placed an order. This year two of our children gave me gift cer tificates, so I can really place a big order. The problem is to take the time to sit and do it. So far my list includes mostly flowers. You see, I save many vegetable seeds from my own plants. I'll admit that some ornamental gourds and some squash have crossed over the years in which case I never know what to expect from the seeds. But, that is part of the fun in having a garden. One year I have a bumper crop of cucumbers and the next one practically none. One year we have lots of peanuts and the next one I must save the nuts for seed. EDE SHfi 19555 610-562-2567 Lately I've been meeting a grandchild at his bus each evening as he has a corn-grow ing project in our basement under lights. He is so very exu berant as he hops off the bus and runs to meet me. He and his siblings run and jump and play in our house and even move big rugs out of place. One thing that they enjoy doing with me is cleaning the goldfish bowl. But, I must watch them closely as I’ve caught them holding the fish out of the water, upside down, by its tail. We four often sit on the floor and play with a soft ball on the kitchen floor. The other evening they enjoyed a box of "Krazy Ikes" and we all made odd little fig ures. The same books that I read to my children decades ago are now read to the grandchil dren. —iliHHul II M Steve Shannon Joe's Battery & Tire Tire Co , Inc AHentown, PA 1810 3 Bloomsburg, PA 17815 610-437-4961 800-343-TIRE Steve Shannon Tire Co, Inc Route 487 Benton, PA 17814 717-925-2821 mam Barnck Tire Sales Newville, PA 17241 717-776-5762 ms Long’s Tire Service Halifax, PA 17152 717-896-2215 Mifflmburg PA 17844 Burns Tire Service 717-966-3114/3115 Waynesboro PA 15370 412-627-8263 mm Allegheny Farm Service Marion Center, PA 15370 412-397-2660 Leola Tire Service Leola, PA 17540 717-656-2574 mm Lebanon Valley Implement Inc Richland, PA 17087 717-866-7518 firestone TII I | I Al> I P IN IMF I I I I I' • DEPENDABILITY • ECONOMY Rovendale Supply Watsontown PA 17777 717-538-5521 or 717-742-7521 Smith Farm & Equipment Newport PA 1707' 717-567-3562 Charles Snyder Inc Tamaqua PA 18252 717-386-5945 Mifflmburg Farm Supply Inc mnm J&M Machinery Co reensburg PA 156 i 412-668-7850 Wagners Mobile Repair Shrewsburg PA 17361 717-235-5094 |B & Su Farmers Brokerai Allentown NJ 08501 609-259-7324 Tire King Sussex, NJ 07481 201-875-5250
