Fun games for the holidays It’s Thanksgiving week al-ready! We will have my sistersVerena and Susan and sisterEmma, Jacob, and family herefor Thanksgiving dinner andalso all of our family. I am planning to prepare two tur-

keys plus all the trimmings. Son Benjamin, 16, was ex-cited last week to shoot hisrst deer. My husband Joeand Benjamin cut and groundall the meat on Saturday. Joewants to make jerky and sum-mer sausage with it. Friday evening, our fami-ly traveled the seven miles toTimothy and daughter Eliza- beth’s house with our horsesand buggies. Elizabeth had prepared a tater tot casseroleand Timothy grilled venison burgers and steak. They want-ed us to spend the night thereso Joe could go hunting withTimothy early on Saturdaymorning. After supper was over, we played “Donkey” and enjoyed popcorn. For those of you whodon’t know how to play Don-key, I’ll explain the best I can. We use Rook game cards.Every player is given threecards and spoons are placedin the middle of the table. Putone less spoon out than thereare players. One of the play-ers takes the cards that hav-en’t been passed out and takesone card at a time and passesit to the next player. The ob- ject of the game is to see whogets three cards with the samenumber rst. So if you get anumber you want, then switchit with one of your three cardsand pass it on. The rst playerwho gets three cards the samewill grab a spoon. One play-er will be left without a spoonand will get a letter “D”. Therst player that has the wholeword “Donkey” spelled outloses. After they have lost, theother players keep playing butaren’t allowed to talk to the

“loser”. If you do, then youget another letter. Son Joseph, 13, was the rstto be the “donkey” (smile) andhe was good at tricking us intotalking to him. It is so easy toforget if he asks a question,not to answer him. We had alot of fun but it’s a noisy game.Spoons y around a lot afterthe rst person grabs one. We were excited to wake upSaturday morning with a lay-er of snow on the ground. Itsnowed most of the day on Sat-urday and I think we receivedaround 7 inches of snow. Thehunters were glad for thesnow, too. The snow clung tothe tree branches and madesuch pretty scenery. Only Godcan “paint” the earth with such beautiful scenes. The childrenenjoyed sled rides on Saturdayevening. Sunday, we went to church

for the rst time since ourchurch divided into two dis-tricts. It was smaller, but wehad a lot of visitors from oth-er districts, so there were stilla lot of people there. For this week’s recipe, I’ll

share pumpkin pancakes.Daughter Susan didn’t haveto work at the factory yester-day and today, so we madethese for our breakfast thismorning. If you love pump-kin, you’ll like these pan-cakes. We had maple syrupwith them. I wish everyone a blessedThanksgiving and safe trav-els if you are traveling, oranywhere where you are – besafe! God’s love to all!

Magic in a little blue jar One identiable odor in ourhouse when I was growing upwas a smell that arose from alittle blue jar. The little blue jar held a magical potion thatis still on the market and letme say this, “I have used aton of it the past two weeks.”Does it still work magic? Yes,it does. I will let you guess what

the product is, but it has beenaround for over 100 years. Thelittle blue jar and its contentswas invented by a pharmacistwith the last name of Richard-son. He was very chemicallyinclined and after nishingcollege, he joined his brother,named Dr. Vick, and becameinvolved with medicine andresearching. The story goes is that allthree of the Richardson chil-dren caught bad colds at thesame time. Richardson, dis-satised with the traditionaltreatment of the day, whichincluded poultices and a va-

por lamp, spent hours at his pharmacy developing his owntreatment. It turned out to be a strong-smelling ointmentcombining menthol, camphor,oil of eucalyptus, and sev-eral other oils, blended in a base of petroleum jelly. Whenrubbed on the chest, the men-thol would release a wave ofsoothing, medicated vaporswas breathed directly into thelungs.

In fact, during the inuen-za outbreak among the mil-itary in 1918, millions of thelittle blue jars were sold fortreatment during that dreadfultime. One thing I did not knowwas the many different usesfor this magic potion. Normal-ly used for aiding a cold andrubbed on the chest, if you arecoughing, you can also rub

your tootsies with it, put on a pair of socks and by morningyou will be hack-free person.Trust me, this helps. You can also put it on soreachy muscles. Rub the mix-ture on those muscles and itincreases circulation and pro-vides instant aid. (Warn your bed partner about the smell asthe odor may ruin a romanticevening.) If you have a Miss or Mis-

ter Kitty who scratches everyhard surface in your house, itis suggested to put the salvewhere your cat scratches.Also, if your pet claws yourfeet or legs, put some on thereas well. It was news to me, but cats detest the smell of thecontents in the little blue jar. Other uses are it will helphousebreak a puppy, get rid of

a headaches, deters mosqui-toes, helps heal a splinter andalso prevents infection. Didyou know that professionalhorse racers put a dab of thesalve under the gal horse’snose to detour any stallionswho might want to focus on afemale rather than the race? Yes, I have put the salve onmy nose, head, feet, chest andeven tasted a dab of it for a sorethroat. No one will believe thislittle note, but I knew a guywho said he ate sandwicheswith the salve on it. Personally, I love my little blue jar with its distinct aro-

ma. In fact, I used almost allof mine, and so I think I willgo to the store and get a big-ger jar. Even though its stenchmight cause me a few sniffsfrom people, you never knowwhen I might get a headacheor be heading for a race track. What is in the little blue jar?What have you ever used itfor? If you know, let me knowand I’ll give you a Penny forYour Thoughts.

Kindergartners learn about farming By Staci Miller

Education specialistPaulding SWCD

Last week, Paulding kindergarten studentslearned about the importance of farming andagriculture in Paulding County. Students learned who farmers are and howthey use seeds and the environment to producecrops that are harvested and used to supply theworld with food, which is a vital part of agri-culture. They got the opportunity to learn about themany different types of crops that are grownthroughout the county, especially focusing oncorn, soybeans and wheat. Then the students got to see and feel theseeds from these crops as well as discussedwhat foods are produced from corn, wheat

and soybeans. These products include crayons, bread, cookies and even soy milk. Staci Miller read the students a book called Farms Feed the World , which talked about howimportant agriculture is all over the world. After reading the book, the students learnedabout the different types of equipment farm-ers use to grow and harvest the crops. As afun activity for the students, they got to play aversion of pin the tail on the donkey, but with afarming twist – Pin the Wheels on the Tractor. The students really enjoyed learning aboutfarming and how without agriculture andfarmers, we wouldn’t have all the wonderfulfood we like to eat. If you are interested in this presentation, please contact Staci Miller, education special-ist, at 419-399-4771.
