Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
By this time of year most of are lots of things to do indoors. I
my activities are indoors. There have many letters to sort and old
rowers
Market.-
papers to look over. Soon I hope
to embroider some pillowcases.
And, of course, there is always
cleaning to do.
I did manage to plant a num
ber of tulips and crocus bulbs in
the yard and flower beds. The
evening of the day that I planted
them there were two deer near
the kitchen window sniffing
around. They finished all of the
rhubarb chard that I had planted
in the garden.
There are a number of summer
cottages on our farm and one of
them was badly damaged by a
very large tree that fell across it.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 15, 2003-B9
When I went fishing, one last
time before winter, I noticed the
damage and doubt that it can be
repaired. There are many seclud
ed places along the Conestoga
River.
The grandchildren have been
staying here every now and then.
They are well behaved and like to
look at some of my old things.
Gregory asked to try his hand at
using a pen with a bottle of ink.
He decided that a ball point pen
was much easier to use. I shall
have to find a better pen for him.
When they sleep here, we can
have breakfast together.

My family members have to
travel quite a bit on business.
Their companies send them to
faraway places. One is in Japan
for a week, another spends a
month in Seattle, and another
spends a few days in Indianapo
lis.
I think my time for flying off
to such places is in the past. I’m
not even anxious to drive out of
state. But, at one time I thought
nothing of traveling across the
United States by car or by train.
Even flying to Hawaii was con
sidered to be a lot of fun and ad
venturous. Now home seems
pretty nice.
