Last Will and Testament worse than no will? Q.What’sA poorly A. drafted one.

A Random Act

of Kindness

There is still kindness in the world today! I went to The Cozy Grill to meet my good friend for lunch. I was early, so I sat down to wait. A couple came in and sat down next to me waiting to be seated. I asked her the time and talked about my being early. After a few minutes of them being seated in the restaurant, her husband came out to see if I would like a cup of coffee with them while I waited. I was very touched by that kind offer from the very nice couple, it really touched my heart. Thank you again for your kindness and God bless both of you. – Patsy K.

Relics Picked up at Gettysburg After the War

he Battle of Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863, saw two huge armies meet and clash over the three days. After the battle was over, the gruesome task of burying the dead on both sides and taking care of the wounded began. The Pennsylvania town was devastated by the fighting that took place and the civilian population did what they could to get back to some sense of normalcy. Not only had the battlefield been strewn with dead soldiers and horses, but also the objects of war. Muskets, bayonets, equipment, and clothing. One of the books that has come out in recent years is called Gettysburg Battlefield Relics & Souvenirs by Mike O’Donnell. It is laid out by objects found on the battlefields of each day of the fight. I have some of the cherished artifacts in the book here and I’ll talk about a few of them. The first object is a canteen. Every soldier needs to be hydrated and it’s an important piece of equipment. This one is a Confederate tin drum canteen with a coarse brown cotton covering. On one side is an old paper label which states “Con-

By Joel Bohy Historic Arms & Militaria Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI federate Canteen/picked up on/Gettysburg/Battleﬁeld/1887/In a closet/under the/stairs in old/seminary”. The Lutheran Seminary was used as a hospital for captured Confederates, and it isn’t surprising that this canteen was found there 24 years after the battle. A piece of headgear is the next item, a slouch hat purported to have been picked up on the battleﬁeld by a New York soldier and brought home. It’s a wool felt slouch hat in “beehive” style with a string mark around the crown where it was held to the block when it was being formed. It has some holes and wear and is missing the liner that must have been in it originally but is an extremely rare survivor. Another piece of headgear is a Confederate captain’s kepi with two rows of braid. It’s made from a butternut satinet cloth with a black band around the base. It has a bound edge visor with a painted cloth sweatband and blue silk liner. One of the interesting parts of the cap is the layered pasteboard discs in the crown with a Confederate newspaper sewn on the bottom. According to its provenance it was also picked up somewhere

on the Gettysburg battlefield. The last piece of gear is a Confederate cap box found on Seminary Hill. It’s very crude compared to Union examples and has a lead finial. There is a note that was folded up inside marked “Rebel Cap box; picked up/inside the Rebel intrenchments/(Seminary Hill) Gettysburg after/the first days fight”. Reading about the Battle of Gettysburg and walking the ground can really give you an understanding of how the battle transpired, but seeing and holding these revered objects truly gives it dimension.

It is important to treat wreaths with care in order to maximize their longevity and beauty. The following tips can help ensure wreaths remain fresh and festive throughout the month of December. • Choose the right design. Select a wreath that is not too busy nor too boring. It is important to strike the right balance. A good wreath has a focal point, which may be a festive bow or another decorative piece. Keep in mind this is a wreath which should have lots of greenery on display, rather than ﬂowers that characterize other seasonal wreaths. • Weigh your wreath. Take a moment to ask a salesman how heavy the wreath is when you purchase it. Knowing the weight of

the wreath will help you identify the proper hanging mechanism, as hooks are generally characterized by the weight they can hold. A less than sturdy hook can increase the chances the wreath falls down and ends up damaged. • Determine your hanging method. Once you know the weight of the wreath, you can ﬁgure out how to secure it to a door or window without having to drill holes into any structures. Removable adhesive strips are one option, provided you attach something like cardboard or another material to the back of the wreath upon which the adhesive strips can be stuck. Otherwise, over-thedoor wreath hangers are wise investments that can support large, heavy wreaths. • Consider the safety of pets. When decorating with plant material, it is important to know what is safe for pets in the household. According to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, most holiday plants cause irritation

of the mouth. Pine trees produce oils that can cause gastrointestinal issues. • Exercise caution with storm doors. If you hang a wreath between a glass storm door and your front door, the air around the wreath will heat up and cause the wreath to turn brown. • Choose a cool spot. In addition to avoiding heat that builds up between doors, you should select a cool spot out of the hot sun. Many pine trees, like balsam fir, react more favorably to cooler temperatures and will keep their vibrant green color and fragrance more readily. • Go artificial. If you want to hang a wreath indoors, opt for an artificial one. Prolonged warm temperatures inside may prematurely dry out a fresh wreath, ultimately turning it into a fire hazard. A few pointers can ensure wreaths remain a beautiful component of holiday decor throughout the season.

Christmas stocking decorating tips and tricks metal or wooden devices that are placed on mantels. Hooks on the holders suspend the stockings. Just be sure the holders are sturdy enough to handle the weight of a stuffed stocking if you plan on ﬁlling it with goodies.

anging Christmas stockings is just one of the many traditions that fill the days leading up to Christmas. One theory regarding the origins of stockings says the tradition began when a poor widower who had three daughters worried over having enough money for their wedding dowries to help secure the daughters’ futures. The women, who had hung their stockings by the fireplace to dry, woke up to find solid gold spheres inside. This legend suggests kindly St. Nicholas visited the home in the night and left the presents, helping ensure the daughters

could marry well, after all. Christmas stockings were the ﬁrst places where gifts were stowed, before under the boughs of Christmas trees became the primary spot for placing gifts. Then stockings were secondary vessels reserved for small trinkets. Today stockings are largely Christmas decorations rather than places to place gifts. Still, they’re a key component of holiday magic. When including stockings in holiday festivities, follow these tips for whimsy and more. • Utilize stocking holders. Stocking holders are either

• Determine your style. There are Christmas stockings that coordinate to just about any interior design style. From farmhouse to modern to traditional, choose one that ﬁts with your aesthetic. That isn’t to say you can’t mix and match stockings if you prefer a more eclectic, homespun feel.

use ribbons to hang them from the bannister of a staircase, or hang stockings right on walls with removable hooks, or from sturdy shelves. You also can think creatively and hang larger stockings on a door like you might a wreath. Whether they’re decorative or functional, stockings can be an integral component of holiday decor in a home.

• Enhance your stocking look. If stockings are strictly decorative, enhance their look with a few tricks. First, use tissue paper or balled up shopping bags to stuff the stockings and give them shape. Fill a small baggie with sand or florist glass and place in the heel of the stocking to balance it out and prevent the stocking from blowing around in the breeze. • No fireplace; no problem. Stockings are traditionally hung from the fireplace mantel, but if you don’t have a fireplace there is no need to fret. Simply

radition reigns supreme during the holiday season. Putting up Christmas trees, stringing lights, singing carols, and ﬁlling stockings with trinkets are just a few of the season’s many cherished traditions. However, amid the typical holiday hustle and bustle, there also are traditions that are unique to various cultures and ethnicities — particularly those pertaining to foods and beverages. From minced pies in England to kutia in Ukraine to spiced hot chocolate in Peru, many different foods and beverages are savored this time of year around the world. Individuals of Puerto Rican descent might enjoy whipping up batches of coquito around the holidays. Coquito, which means “small coconut,” is made in batches with recipes passed down through families. It is similar to traditional eggnog, but Puerto Ricans will tell you it’s even better. The beverage is served throughout Navidad, or starting after Thanksgiving and ending in mid-January with the celebration of Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián. Those interested in making homemade coquito can follow this “Traditional Coquito” recipe, courtesy of Discover Puerto Rico.

Traditional Coquito 1 can of condensed milk 1 can of evaporated milk 1 can of cream of coconut (such as Coco López) 1 ⁄2 cup white rum (preferably Don Q or Bacardí) 1 ⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (add more to taste) In a blender, add evaporated milk, cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, rum, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend on high until mixture is well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer mixture into glass bottles and chill in the refrigerator until cold. To serve, pour coquito into small serving glasses and garnish with ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. Note: This is traditional Coquito. Individuals can experiment with different ﬂavors, like chocolate, guava or even mango coquito if they desire.
