Notebook
Apparently we have a raccoon
who visits us at night. It comes in
the cat door to the garage. Most
of the time it will empty the cat
dish and walk in the water dish.
But, the other night it tore open
the sunflower seed bag that 1
bought for the birds. After sweep
ing it up, 1 put the bag in a cor
ner of the kitchen out of it’s
reach.
We had guests from Maine for
a few days. Our daughter and her
husband have three young boys,
and they made this a lively place.
They like to roll around on my
round hassock and wrestle with
each other. One boy made a pil
low out of a very soft red materi
al and gave it to us. Another had
drawn a picture so big that I had
to put it on the dishwasher door
as the refrigerator door is full.
We were guests for Thanksgiv
ing and enjoyed some turkeys
made a different way. A

12-pound bird was ready to eat in
30 minutes by doing it in a deep
kettle of boiling oil. It was fueled
with a small propane tank.
Later two grandsons shared a
birthday celebration as their spe
cial days are only eight days
apart. They were thrilled to re
ceive many gifts. Children these
days would not be satisfied with a
10-cent handkerchief or a string
of blue wooden beads. I still have
a pair that was given to me dec
ades ago.
When I’m not thinking about
making Christmas decorations, I
work on embroidering a pillow
case. One is finished and the
other might wait a while as I
write notes on cards. Several
grandchildren have birthdays
after Christmas. And, my sister
has a wedding anniversary Dec.
22. She had a beautiful church
wedding almost 50 years ago.
