recently celebrated her 85th birthday. She has lived in the

strawberries early in June.
earl
errles
"It wasn't too exceptional,
either," Blankenship declares.
"most of them were whoppers!"
He was born in West Virginia,
and as a 12-year-old came to the
state of Washington where he has
since resided except for a few
years when he made his home in
California.
A logger by profession, Clyde
Blankenship is now retired.
Although back and leg injuries
make it impossible for him to do
strenuous work, he manages to
tend a beautiful garden on the
bank of Goldsborough Creek, and
his front yard is attractively
landscaped with vigorous
strawberry plants edging a curved
driveway.
He enjoys hunting and ocean
fishing, and he often purchases
run-down old properties to
remodel and resell.
"I'm sort of sell-employed,"
he explains, "but this is kind of a
hobby, too."
II
He still likes to saw wood, and
he finds pleasure in digging in the
earth.
"Last year," he states, "! got
40 pounds of potatoes from 15
hills, and some of them were
huge."

I'm no Shakespeare.
I'm just an ordinary housewife who makes beer
and wine and sometimes a little brandy
out of anything handy
as a pastime.
The last time
! made wine, it blew up
and the people who drank my home brew threw up
their hands in horror
so ! have more or
less concentrated on hard liquor
which has made my friends sadder and wiser and sicker.
Those who have too freely partaken of my home-made gin
often forget where they are going
and are not too sure where they have been.
He who imbibes too deeply of my rum
may well be stricken deaf and dumb and numb.
it is risky
to drink my whiskey.
It is inane
to touch my champagne,
and only the most unwary
will sip my sherry.
