Pack Rat Papers: March 2010
http://packratlyn.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Cousin Bertha, my great-aunt, lived upstairs and helped me develop my pack rat instincts. She is pictured to the right. People in the years before 1900 certainly knew how to save their paper! This is one of the things we could learn from them. God instructed Adam to care for the earth, including plants and animals. It seems that our ancestors were much better stewards of this beautiful planet than our wasteful generation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Thursday, July 1, 2010. Grad Then and Now. Over the past month many of us have watched, or heard about, graduation ceremonies. Young people in large and small communities across Canada and the United States have walked proudly forward. To receive their hard earned diplomas. It is a wonderful celebration to climax years of hard work for the students, and often for their parent also. Superintendent of schools and served in that position for many years. In all the excitement of graduations today, we must re...

Pack Rat Papers: April 2010
http://packratlyn.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. Yesterday morning, after church, all the local farmers stood in groups talking about seeding and how early it's starting this year. Hearing their excitment made me consider the changes in farming practices over the last hundred years, or so. There are four men listed as operators- the driver, header tender, separator tender and roust about. No matter how hard a man works on the land, or how much modern equipment he has, the results of his labor are still in God's hands. He is ...

Pack Rat Papers: WWI Arthur the Chef
http://packratlyn.blogspot.com/2010/11/wwi-arthur-chef.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. WWI Arthur the Chef. On October 20th the cooks were issued their white uniforms. In the picture you see Elmer Erikson and Arthur on the right. Arthur begins to express his hope to be sent overseas. This is a recurring topic through the next seven months. I am personally quite impressed by those 38 loganberry pies! If I make 2 or 3 at a time it seems like quite a feat, and I never saw my dad make even one pie during my growing-up years. He tells of seventeen train carloads of.

Sunday, November 21, 2010. Some of you may have wondered about the items pictured at the top of this page. This collection proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I am a pack rat! These items, and many more, made the journey from Sunny California to Friendly Manitoba with yours truly. By now you have realized that being a pack rat is something of a family trait. This picture was taken on Christmas Day, 1901. The following article, describing this occasion, appeared in the local paper:. None of these c...

Pack Rat Papers: October 2010
http://packratlyn.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. My great-grandfather, Jacob Willard Zumwalt, was born in 1828. He is obviously a young man in this picture, probably not over twenty years old. I have this picture, taken about one hundred-sixty years ago, in my possession and it is still quite clear. Many photographs, in my archives, are well over one hundred years old. Most of these have survived with less damage than more recent snapshots. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Over thirty years ago I was transplanted from Northern Cali...
