Mr. and Mrs. Charles McAulay Page 6 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, August 27, MISS SHANNON GEORGE, up on Cherokee and assisted by Tami MacDonald, enjoys her daily lesson in horsemanship. Sh annon :olleen George Is Horsewoman Of The Week Shannon Colleen George is two years old. She has been riding since the age of six months. When nine months of age, she was forcibly removed from her horse and temporarily grounded until she learned to walk. She first rode bareback, sitting in front of her mother whose mount is an Arab-Quarterhorse mare almost 16 hands high. She learned the "feel" of a horse and progressed to riding, bareback and unassisted, while the horse was led. Miss George is a fearless horse- woman. She has ridden a total of four full-sized horses in addition to the Welsh gelding on which she is pictured. Not until this summer was she permitted to ride in a saddle. Shannon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred George, both enthusiastic riders. Her mother, Melissa, is an accomplished horsewoman, having studied English equitation with emphasis on jumping. Her home was at that time in Seattle, and after four years of lessons she herself became a teacher of riding in the Clearbrook Riding Academy, where she won many ribbons. Fred George is a Western rider, and has ridden since early childhood. Fred is employed by Simpson Timber Co. and Melissa works in the Save Rite Grocery owned and operated by her parents in the Skokomish Valley Center. Shannon's instruction, this summer, has been for the most part provided by her cousin, Tami MacDonald, who supervises the daily workouts on Cherokee, her own Welsh loaned to Shannon for her learning days. Very soon Shannon will receive a Welsh pony of her own. The youthful equestrienne has but one mishap - so far - to mar her record. Three weeks ago her instructor, leading the pony briskly, glanced back to see an DEBBY COX was winner of the "Spirit Stick' Leader Clinic held on the college campusat El Debby Cox Given Award Debbie Cox, daughter of Mr. yells. and Mrs. Don F.

Why must my garden constantly Strive to make a fool of me? My phlox sublata fails to creep; It lies there in its bed, asleep. My sorry, sick chrysanthemums Deny the verdure of my thumbs. I cannot figure out what ails My trailing vine that never trails. I confess that also I'm Beset with climbers that don't climb. nana Js Some unknown and vicious virus Ardently assails my iris. A kind friend gaveto me his asters; They are now but grim disasters. I can but ask my neighbors' pardon For this eye-sore I call "garden". I think my next door neighbor would Prefer I left the neighborhood. People who my garden visit. Standing in it, say, "Where is it?" As Mary Morris was selecting some very ripe bananas in a grocery store she turned to a fellow shopper and saidz./'These are just right for Banana~}~atter!" The lady had never heard of Banana Butter, so Mary Morris told her all about it. "You should give the recipe to the Journal," said the woman, "I'11 bet nobody else knows about Banana Butter either." And Mary Morris did just that. She came into the Journal office, willing to share her recipe. Born in Kansas and raised in Oklahoma, she has lived in Shelton for the past 28 years. Her husband, Chester, is retired from Simpson Plywood Mill, and they have nine children, 29 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Mary enjoys crocheting, and the making of quilt tops, especially those requiring tiny They gladly come from far and near To view my efforts with a sneer. It seems that they cannot resist a Gibe at my unsightly vista. They make collective mockery Of my unpolished rockery. They give a sort of funny chuckle When they see my honeysuckle. They haughtily look down their noses At my poor but honest roses. One glance at my wisteria And they are near hysteria. Their attitudes are rather cold Toward my humble marigold. Some of them are most sarcastic, Suggesting flowers made of plastic. I find my temper growing short And someday when they thus make sport I may uproot some .... unpruned shrub MARY MORRIS has been making "Banana Butter" for 50 And wield it as a garden club. years. She was surprised to learn that most people have never heard of it.
