Page Four April 09, 2015 AMANA SOCIETY BULLETIN Like a fool I did go and wash my hair before I ran out of the house. (Yes, I got dressed so I wouldn’t scare the neighbors.) So now all I have left is put things back in order and then wondering what Charlemagne will do next. Wait a minute! Did I mention that he had the garden tilled today and he has already planted a few items? Why I just don’t just go some bar and start ordering some mixed drinks puzzles me. B.S.H.

The Amana Print Shop email: [email protected] Feathers in the wind My life as a “Domestic Goddess” is coming to an end thanks to the help of Charlemagne. He has never really said that I probably graduated at the top of my class when it came to anything domestic. He has however said, “I was interesting.” Now you can read what you want into that statement! It began on Good Friday. I have always felt that was the wrong name to give that day, but at the time no one asked me. Anyway the Mayor of East and I took off to Williamsburg to get things for Easter because we are “terrific Omas.” The Mayor had also heard that the strawberries at the general store were so good, didn’t I want some? Now you have to understand this woman has known me most of our lives which is saying a “few decades,” so she knows that not only am I allergic to penicillin, but also strawberries. (I even have to wear a bracelet for all the allergies.) That did not stop her from offering me some. Sometimes I wonder if she has a life insurance policy out for me. You have to be careful of those people living north of the Iowa River...they’re always up to something. We got home only to find that Charlemagne had not caught the groundhog. This beast had found a way to burrow under his boat. Charlemagne felt that a “live trap” would catch it. Right, it never has worked before, but what do I know. I have decided that the more experienced trapper from across the street will probably catch the beast and have Charlemagne dispose of it... sometimes we women know best. Then I found out that, while walking around the yard, he found a nest of garter snakes or as I refer to them...a NEST OF VIPERS. He and the other next neighbor had discovered it by our water shut off and calmly watched them slitter about. Why they found this interesting only a man can understand. Charlemagne told our neighbor and son not to tell ME about them, but Charlemagne will crack under pressure. Now you have to understand I had plans of having an Easter Egg Hunt for our granddaughter, but when you have a live ground hog and VIPERS not to mention a chicken who runs freely around the yard I started of have other ideas... not all of them being kind. That night a bad odor came from our apartment. Would you believe a mouse? I was not to concern myself, Charlemagne said, because it was a deer mouse as opposed to a house mouse. I asked what was the difference? He told me about the markings, etc. and then he had the nerve to tell me that it was not serious, but to watch out for the large ELEPHANT MOUSE which could fall through the ceiling. Ha! Ha! I did not get to sleep until almost 2 AM this morning worrying about what other “thing” he might know about that he was not telling me. Today Charlemagne went to Williamsburg and entered the LIS race. Believe it or not he won in his category. No, he does not run, but walks quickly. What should happen, but Linda Ackerman and Karen Jenkins who both place first and third in their category accompanied him the last block. They call themselves “the escort service.” Hmmm! I remained at home doing wash, changing the bed, and then deciding to clean the oven. That was a mistake! I am here to tell you that I thought I was about to die of smoke inhalation.
