It’s good to be busy, but I’d like a chance
To relax a while and take a glance
At the piled up papers and magazines,
But I reckon I’d better go outside and rake the leaves.
Even though I yearn for
leisure time, I honestly be
lieve it’s better for a mid
dle-aged, fat woman to be
busy, on account of it leaves
less time to worry about
oneself and other inconse
quential things. I don’t even
have time to be sick or even
■think I’m sick. Here’s hop
ing good health stays with
me l’ll gladly rake the
leaves.
I found out yesterday that
Catherine and Philip Robey
finally realized their dreams
by moving into their RED
BARN ANTIQUE SHOP,
right beside their home near
the Macedonia Church in the
Advance section of the coun
ty. So this morning I hur
ried out there to see it and
take some pictures and, of
course, the devilish camera
went haywire. Even so, it
was worth the trip out there,
as it is really an attractive
place and it goes to show
you that with dreams, ingen
uity and “know-how,” a
dream can really come true.
It’s hard to believe that this
place had been used for a
farm barn for many years.

What was once the corn
storage room is now used for
an attractive display of an
tique furniture, bric-a-brac
and beautiful lamps of all
kinds. Back and at the side
of this room, which was
formerly the fertilizer room,
is now the fabric shop and
those fabrics just make one
want to redo and re-uphol
ster every room in the
house. The fabric room in
itself is so attractively ar
ranged with pretty gold wall
to wall carpet on the floor,
matching draperies and pieces
of antique furniture which
compliment the display of
interior decorating materials.
Catherine tells me that she
Has even sold some of the
brocades for holiday and
evening dresses and then I
wished more than ever that
I could sew. On the other
side of the barn, the part of
which was once the horse
stable, is now the upholster
ing shop and sewing room
and is really a busy place.
The Robeys know their
“stuff” when it comes to re
finishing and re-doing furni
ture and slip covering and

Did you ever try making
citron preserves? Not many
people around these parts
grow citron that I know of.
One day last week John A.
Taylor brought us some cit
ron which he grew at his
home on West Queen Street
extended. I wasn’t quite
sure what to do with them
and he said Mrs. Taylor
made them into preserves
and that they are delicious.
The citron resembles a small
green pumpkin or watermel
on. Here is Mrs. Taylor’s
recipe for citron preserves:
Prepare citron by peeling
and removing seeds and then
cut into small cubes. Add
2% cups sugar to three cups
citron, cover and let stand
overnight. Next morning,
add one whole lemon, chop
ped fine. Cook until thick
and clear. (Thanks, Mrs.
Taylor).
Our folks from Pennsylva
nit did not get to Florida as
they planned, but have re
turned home, after one of
them suffered a severe heart
attack. It is quite S&d to
know that after having
worked hard all his life and
just recently had the oppor
tunity to take a long dream
ed-of trip to Florida, this
illness had to happen. It is
not ours to question, but we
can’t help to wonder—why?
Here are a few tricks of
the trade for housekeepers:
Use a small paint brush
for many cleaning aids—such
as for dusting the phone
carved furniture and other
knick knacks.
Dip scissors in hot water
from time to time whSn cut
ting foam rubber to keep a
smooth edge.
A few drops of cologne in
the rinse water for hankies
will leave a pleasing frag
rance.
Place small pieces of maca
roni into cake icing as vases
to hold flowers.
It will tell: If the first
love letter you ever wrote
had a 4-cent stamp, you’re
young; if it had a 3-cent
stamp, you’re middle-aged;
if it had a 2-cent stamp,
brother, you’re a grand
daddy!
