Reconnecting, Remembering and Reflections

By Evelyn J. Mocbeichel

It’s quiet now after the holidays as we settle in hoping the weeks of winter quickly pass. For me this is a perfect time to make phone calls to friends that live long distances away so we can catch up. One friend, Beth, had a daughter in a play group and Sunday school the same age as one of our daughters that enjoyed playing together. Both of us had three young children at the time and enjoyed each other’s company and sharing common interests. As with many families, often work relocation necessitates a move and so Beth and family moved to New Jersey. Despite decades passing, we kept up by mail, calls and email. During a recent call the conversation reverted back to the early days of our friendship. Beth said, “I have a question for you. Do you know anybody our age now that still bakes

Christmas cookies like we used to do?”

After hearing that question I was reminded of the cookie swaps we used to have, making the task of Christmas cookie baking of different kinds a bit easier. The concept was a simple one. Each lady brought four dozen cookies of her favorite recipe to share with the others. A few days before the swap, the host had asked for a copy of the recipe if the baker would like to share it. The recipes were mostly handwritten and these were photocopied just as they were submitted and made into a booklet for each guest to take home. The question Beth asked had me stop to think and I could only come up with one name, my friend Sheila that lives in New Hampshire. She continues to bake her holiday repertoire that her four sons and their families love to eat. All of my other friends, formerly expert bakers have stopped. Why? Is it disinterest by family members or because of so many allergies and food restrictions that a baker has stopped recreating these once family favorites? Beth and I agreed that we certainly have the time now that we are all retired and no daily schedules. My own thought is that treasured recipes will be lost and not passed down through the generations. Who does not recall at least one favorite recipe we wished grandma or mom was still here to make for us? Another idea for those readers that love a dish a senior family member makes that is a favorite. The next time grandma, mom, or aunt has you over for dinner and has made her specialty, write down the recipe word for word. Better yet, arrive early to see how it is made and take exact notes about ingredients and measurements. This way it can be passed down to the younger generation and to ensure it won’t be lost.

CANCER (6/21 - 7/22) All endeavors will be fruitful if you believe in your strength and do not tail away. You begin to see why it is so important to let people know just how much you can tolerate,and just where your limits actually lie. The planetary alignment offers a chance to get to know yourself more deeply and find that all-important emotional harmony. It is always better if you can wait at least for another day before making any final decisions. Some sort of bonus money may come your way if you play your cards right. Refrain from unadvised and risky trips. Your tasks are many,so it’s good to plan wisely. The stars ask you not to be tempted to start new endeavors on a personal level. Consider whether you’re doing unsolicited good in order not to win an enemy. Take your time for rest in the evenings so you don’t crash from exhaustion and strain.

ARIES (3/21 - 4/19) Forbid yourself to interfere in quarrels that do not concern you. The celestial influences bring out some deeply buried feelings from within. You are looking forward to enjoy your dream achievements. You cannot guess what someone is thinking,so you will just need to be patient and wait until you get a clearer perspective. Any transformations now will only change things for the better,and improve your life in general. Make a trip if you’re sure it will fill you with good memories. It’s always good to estimate your actions and those of the people around you. Don’t be naive and greedy and try not to spend your money on gambling,because luck is not with you and won’t multiply your finances. The cycle’s celestial energy reveals that your plans need a new direction,yet you will not discover it in any of the more commonplace pursuits with which most people are usually happy. Soon it will become obvious that nothing will ever happen if you don’t go forward and meet life halfway.

AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/18) You have the power to rectify a dying situation and turn it into a complete success story. Avoid new acquaintances.

Look forward to pleasant news about your personal life. You will feel in a strong enough position to be able to making certain future plans. You should not negotiate loans. Evaluate your steps,think over your actions,and avoid the wrong path. The moment is not suitable for trips. Life has to change and transform on a continuous basis in order to remain fresh and interesting.
