By Merlyn Robinson
As the ghoulish Halloween jack o' lantern faces shrink and
acquire grotesque expressions, its difficult to imagine how many
pumpkin pies could have been made from all that orange meat- -
and too there are all those seeds that also went to waste! But hey,
that's a mere drop in the bucket to the bounty that this country can
produce.
Although the Halloween decorations are still visible and its not
yet time for a wrestling match with a Thanksgiving turkey, it is
time to plan ahead for Christmas. That could include making
homemade items, gifting someone with personal services or gift
certificates or shopping and more shopping in stores now loaded
with all those goodies.
I sometimes want to strangle the person that says, "I did my
Christmas shopping for the next year, right after Christmas when
everything was on sale." Yeah, sure! They must have a fortune
teller mentality or they buy that proverbial "one size fits all" for all
their recipients. If a vacation cruise for Grandma was purchased
before last January, price changes could occur or that cruise ship
might sink, or she could be run over by a reindeer on Santa's way
back to the North Pole.
That hand-crafted candle that was so right for Aunt Sadie, might
not be suitable now, since lately she can't remember to turn off the
kitchen stove. Or the barbells that Joe said he wanted, were
purchased by him during after-Christmas sales. In the blink of an
eye, the grandson who wanted a remote control toy airplane, now
wants a full-sized four wheeler. Little Susie has outgrown the red
flannel nightgown stage and now wears her father's boxers. Sure
as you arranged for the gift of a food commodity, like cheese of the
month, that person has found out that cheese is plugging his
arteries with cholesterol.
For some of us mortals, our brain cells only begin to have
holiday thoughts when November's chilly weather suddenly
swoops in and catches us off guard. Unfortunately, I'm not up to
speed with those accomplished souls, who from the comfort of
home do their shopping on-line via their computers. It takes
several look-see shopping trips for me to even gleam gift ideas.
Walking is great physical exercise, of course, even if you come
home empty handed with worn-out shoe leather and aching body
parts.
Although I do have senior women's "mental-pause" symptoms,
ideas are beginning to formulate. Home-produced gift ideas are
starting to percolate. That brain creativity is definitely less stressful
to the mind and body than some of the actual "go-fer" trips I've
undertaken of late.
Next time I'm sent to fetch parts, I want a complete medical
history of that vehicle or piece of machinery. In order to come
back with the right hunk of metal or plastic, I need the serial
number, make, weight and capacity, as well as the instruction
manual, in order to answer questions asked by not-so-
knowledgeable clerks. It would also be helpful to have a
mechanical dictionary to help translate names of parts, instead of
saying the "thingamajig" that fits on the "thingamabob". If this is
a mobile unit, one should definitely know how many miles it has
traveled backward, sideways and forward.
I do know the difference between a crescent wrench and a
posthole digger, but living on a ranch doesn't necessarily mean that
one has an in-depth knowledge about everything from a backhoe
to a "whatchamacallit." Equally exasperating is when you go to
pick up said item, pre-ordered by telephone, you are waited on by
a sales person that doesn't know what you are talking about.
If I get in gear to make some gifts that are now only a figment of
my imagination, perhaps 111 have this Christmas thing wrapped up,
literally, before we know who the next president will be. It’s sad
that this election has turned into a political circus. This isn't a
shining example of how our democracy works - - to be joked about
or ridiculed by the entire world.
