Thursday, September 26, 1974 SAGE OF NU ACRES BY LYN DONNER Two ladies have called about my organ, both with seven hundred dollar pianos. To trade. And what's an antique organ worth, anyhow All intricately put together by hand. And a hundred years old. We'll see. Alice Nishitani, the Val ley's top piano instructor, says it Is quite valuable. Perhaps she would take it in exchange for piano lessons! One can always buy a piano, but it's hard to get on her list of pupils. One has to make certain promises about practi* cing. And there is the inevitable recital. She said you can't get out of that. But how wonderful to really learn to play! George says I can't tell you about the dirty trick they played on our cow. Dolly. Oh. yes, she'll be having another calf next spring. The veteri narian said it will be easier on her this time. And on George!. The part of me that likes birthdays never grew up and I had to have a cake. Tried to forget it. But Thursday found me measuring, sifting, hap pily assembling a chocolate applesauce cake from scratch. Had seen that applesauce brownie recipe in the paper so put apple sauce in mine just for fun. It was rich, moist, delicious. Forget the candles! We've got us a come-in-the-house cat, all at once. We were down to one barn-type cat. very indépen dant and a little wild. When two poodles think they own you, you've hardly room for a house cat. A couple of mouse traps will do.

Now she's in every time the door opens, swigging up milk like a vacuum cleaner, then, sides buldging, comes sing ing to rub against my leg, the door jamb, or anything handy. And out in the shed, George has heard the tiny mew of hidden baby kittens! The Mama cat isn’t homely any more. Her flashy coat of many colors, little white slippers and black mask clothe a form thats not quite so lean, the usually, hungry still!

He has those large, long, almost oriental shaped yes, but blue, with incredibly long eyelashes, like the Weaver's other boys. And he is so cuddly and darling, everyone wanted to hold him.

This weird story is going the rounds again. Fellow who told me swears it happened to a friend of his. He was driving along and picked up a hitch-hiker. And they were driving along and the fellow said to him, "Jesus is coming soon.” The driver turned to him. but he wasn't there. At 50 miles an hour, no stop, no door opening, he’d vanished. Petrified with fear, the driver pulled into a gas station and related his tale to the attendant. And that man. pale and shaken, said he was the third man to stop with that same story.
