Visit the Mouse house
by Nancy S. Kozemchak
We have a very extraordinary display at the library
Mrs. George Jenkins have allowed us to exhibit their
to national doll house standards, which is on a scale of
one inch for one foot; however, instead of dolls, this
house is inhabited by mice. a
Jenkins built the house in his workshop at hom& in.
cluding the siding and the windows. The doors are made
similar to a regular door. He has used real brick around
the basement walls and there are 1190 individual shingles
on the roof, all glued on separately. Some of the furniture
inside is made from kits and their 11 year old grandchild
helped with some of this. He made the four poster bed
with canopy and a friend made the cross-stitched bed-
spread.
Mrs. Jenkins made most of the items in the children’s
room, which includes the crib, a rocking horse, a high
chair, and a toy box. The wallpaper is standard doll
house wallpaper and the fireplace is real brick. Using
mice instead of dolls is somewhat of a family tradition
and this house has a mother, father, two brothers and a
baby sister. Rugs are special, many are copies of
orientals. ai
Jenkins retired about 10 yéars ago. They have a trailer
and have traveled extensively to Colorado, Key West,
New England, Yellowstone and have put about 60,000
miles on the trailer. Many of the items for the house were
bought on these trips.
Jenkins is also interested in photography and Mrs.
Jenkins does knitting and needlepoint and delivers books
to our shut-ins. It took them about a year to com plete this
mouse house. It isa delight to look at and enjoly from the
fire irons and candlesticks that are so authentic to the
copper bowl, from a copper mine, on the dining room
table.Guess what the mice have for pets? Would you
believe kittens? This is a beautiful work of art and weg!
a trip to the library to see. Thank you, George and Janice
Jenkins!
New books at the library: ‘“‘Firestarter’ by Stephen
King is the story of Charlie, an eight year old girl who
sets her teddy bear on fire...by looking at it. Her parents
taught her to control this ability but a veiled government
agency want this pigtailed ‘ultimate weapon’.
“The Two Bishops” by Agnes Sligh Turnbull is an
unusual and wonderfully warm-hearted love story, rich
in insight and incidents. The story of retired Bishop Ware
and his successor, Bishop Armstrong. Into these lives
comes a radiant young woman along with tangles and
triumphs.
Libraries are not just for bookworms. Libraries are
also for music-lovers, movie-watchers, magazine
readers, armchair travelers, businessmen, gardeners
and dreamers. The list is endless and the resources of the
Back Mountain Memorial Library are varied. Whatever
your need or interest, try your library first! It has some-
thing for ‘‘everyone’’ on almost “every” subject!

Too mucha, too mucha!

What a way to start September, I missed wishing a
‘happy, happy’ to several good friends--friends I see
often. Belated greetings’ to Marie Annetta, Mary
Gesmundo, Sept. 1 and Julie Iwanowski, Aug. 29. To Jack
and Elly Thompson their wedding anniversary, Sept. 1,
congratulations.
Happy birthday to Elaine Dembowski, Sept. 4, Mike
Wnjorski and Carolyn Maccarielli Sept. 1, Peg Canfield,
Sept. 7 and Linda Scholl Sept. 9, Kim Brady nine years
old, Sept. 5.
Nice to see that Jeanie DeWitt is back into the swing of
things following her emergency operation.
Eileen Marquis of Westchester, N.Y. visited her
parents Harry and Betty for the Labor Day weekend.
Jack and Mary Gesmundo have recently returned
from a five-week stay with their daughter, Marianne
Regal and family, in South Bend, Indiana. es
In last week’s column I mentioned that cousins, Jif}
Ann and Thomas Rappi from Fort Myers, Fla. were
visiting and that I would fill you in this week...Hang on -
we had so much fun together that three out of four of us
became ill. - Not of each other - but of laughing.
Wouldn't believe you could really get sick from
laughing, but we did. Take for instance Tuesday evening,
we traveled to Swartswood Lake, N.J. to dine with two
other cousins, Sal and Connie Romano. On our way up or
down, whichever way the crow flew that night, we
stopped off at a pizzeria for Sicilian pizza, a pizza where
in two hours we were going to eat a full course dinner.
That alone should tell you what kind of food was
devoured at the restaurant...plenty. Now how did we get
sick? We all were laughing so hard, Anne up-chucked her
antipasto, me seeing her being sick, laughed so hard I hit
my head on the table, Connie trying to get to Anne,
almost fell off her seat, then for two days after, Vin's
stomach was sore and sour. All from laughing and that
was only one evening, imagine what the week was like.
Labor Day is always a downer for me because it kind of
closes the door on summer - my favorite season. Then the
children return to school, the neighborhood becomes too
quiet and the leisurely pace quickens into the rush to here
and there. But I can’t remember a nicer summer, a
summer of relaxation, good weather, good company and
twelve extra pounds. AAAy-too mucha - too mucha!
Speaking of these 12 lousy pounds, last week I oepned
our mail and there were tickets to my high school’s first
reunion scheduled for Sept. 28. Why didn’t they send
them in June so I could have gone on a hunger strike/
The last time most of my classmates saw me I was
shaped like my 13-year-old daughter. Now 40 pounds
later - heaven help! 4
September 3,4,5,6,7, the Fall Fair will again liven up
our community and this year I plan to enter several of
my accomplishments. After the last paragraph, you

squash and Italian plum tomaotes? This year our garden
basil, big leaves and full, the bell peppers, eggplants,
peas, pumpkins, the seedless squash and the large tasty
plums. What garden and us city folk who thought weeds
were a certain type of grass.
Sunday, Sept. 7, Gate of Heaven parish will conduct a
special tribute to Father Steve McGough in the school’s
auditorium between 3 and 6 p.m. Fr. McGough is being
transferred to St, Patrick’s Church in West Scranton. All
Back Mountain friends are cordially invited to wish him
well and incidently a happy birthday for Sept. 7 is Fr.
Steve's birthday.
