Hello,
My finger still does not know just
where to go for the 7 when writing the date. Once it is solid a new year will
be here. Time flies!
Yesterday I made a dish for lunch that
had a whole onion because it needed to be used, mushrooms because we like them,
summer squash because it was close to the front of the freezer, and cranberries
because they caught my eye in the freezer. Leroy and I both declared it quite
good. The spices were turmeric and marjoram. Somehow it all blended together
just fine. Now you must know that this can never be duplicated because as usual
I just added things randomly without regard to amounts which were dictated most
by what I had on hand.
I washed clothes today and hung most
of them on the racks in the house. One rack we bought, but the other belonged
to my mother. When I use it I think about her. She had no motorized dryer. She had
a wringer washer and it was out on the unheated porch so wash day was serious
business. Today I knew that even though the temperatures were in the single
digits she would have hung out some of the laundry, especially the larger
pieces, to let them dry in the breeze or perhaps the freezing would have made
some of the water evaporate.
I also thought of our time Slovakia
where we did not have a dryer, just racks. Heat was plentiful so clothes dried
quickly. It was a positive because it added some moisture to the rather dry
indoor air. I am grateful for the chance to impact my health and quality of
life by visiting memories.
Paula
