School Daze

With the strange weather everyone seems to be having, it may be too early to think about Fall.  Yet this weekend when I'm dealing with triple digit temperatures, I'll try to cool down by remembering those fall days when the air was crisp with the scent of leaves, the sky was robin egg blue but not pitiless.  This is from a 1959 cookbook published by the Unitarian Church of Cincinnati, Ohio.  In the days before computers, this was put together on mimeograph paper.  Not the easiest stuff to work with, as I remember.  Kudos to the ladies who were so determined to share their good times and recipes.

1950's St. Peter's Church bulletins

These church bulletins could really use a good home.  They were important enough to my Aunt to save, they existed quietly in her makeup bag from the time she brought them home, through a stay with her sister in Lexington, a long rest in the back of my father's closet after she died.  When I cleaned out his house I brought them home with me, hoping I could find her son and return them to him.  Both my father and his sisters have been gone for a long time now and none of us have been able to trace the son.  So I'm hoping someone will see them and want them and keep a little bit of my Aunt's memories alive.  She was a sweet lady who had a tough life.

The Cricket in Times Square


This is a book that my children enjoyed. (so did I) This 1988 dell yearling edition is in near new condition. The spine is not even cracked. I am selling it on Google Products for $1.00 plus $3.99 shipping and handling. http://www.google.com/base/a/4571708/D5324442612368458314

The cover is still so shiny, I had trouble getting a photo as the flash kept glaring off the surface.
