Happy July 4th Ger with his two eldest daughters, Maeve and Molly.

OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA Aboard an Aer Lingus flight to JFK in 1981, with a dream and $80 in my pocket did I think I would be taking out full page ads expressing my gratitude to a country that took me in and offered me an opportunity to raise a family and build a company? Nope.

I just wanted to make it through immigration and then find a bed for the night at a youth hostel in a Manhattan brownstone (my first new American word).

For almost 10 of the last 40 years these open letters to America have been a public expression of my gratitude and a chance to highlight some of the people that make this country so wonderful - inspirational people that embody the fabric of this great nation.

THANK YOU AMERICA SPECIAL

Now Through July 4th

One of the many meetings that Ruth and Harmony House hosted at the Yankee Home Headquarters.

Ruth Willemain, who recently passed, and Officer Jim Barrett are two of these inspirational individuals who I have been honored to call my friends.

FREE LABOR

Ruth stopped by Yankee in 2018 to request assistance to complete her dream of building a home called Harmony House for people without means to live out the last few days of their lives comfortably and with dignity. For years she volunteered in hospice, holding the hands of people as they passed who had no family or friends to be byup their to side. Harmony House would take shape using Yankee Home’s offices as a base for their building committee and up until recently their board meetings. Watching Ruth and ordinary Americans step up to make this five bedroom home a reality is truly awe-inspiring. Ruth and her volunteers embody all that is good in this country. Ordinary, selfless and unassuming Americans coming together to do good. Ruth will be missed.

Officer Jim Barrett in his decked out bomb squad truck helping out his clients in the unhoused community.

After serving his country in Iraq, Jim Barrett returned to join the Hartford, CT police force. Featured on CNN and Fox, Officer Jim BATHS KITCHENS DOORS refurbished an old bomb squad truck that he uses to become a hero to WINDOWS Hartford’s homeless population.

Rather than following the mistakes of inner city leaders and throwing money at a problem, he offers food, clothing, supplies and most importantly advice on how to get out of the situation they find themselves in. I have witnessed firsthand the respect that the homeless community has for Jim and his tough love that has resulted in numerous success stories. He doesn’t want to perpet-uate the problem; he wants to solve it. His 19 years on the force, building trust in a distrustful world, and his daily dedication to his clients are remarkable. and sales you will see the lives saved.

I write this as Father’s Day approaches and would be remiss if I didn’t mention how proud I am of my eldest daughter who serves on the board of Harmony House and helps run Yankee Home’s construction department, along with her sister Maeve who just published her third motivational book for teenagers entitled It’s the Confidence for Me.

Clipping spent flowers encourages new growth

T

HE GARDEN PRETty much takes care of itself for the next few months. Frost is past, transplants are established, and seeds are sown. A periodic oiling of the garden machinery is in order to keep things chugging along. I suggest setting aside one day a week for attending to those repetitive gardening tasks necessary for the remainder of the season. By assigning them to a specific day, they are less apt to be forgotten.

Mowing the lawn seems to be the one repetitive garden task about which no one forgets. Depending on rainfall and how much you fertilize, the lawn might demand your attention more or less frequently than one day a week.

Most people mow when the grass gets too long rather than on a schedule, and rightly so. But too many people cut the grass too short when they do mow. This can weaken the grass and allow crabgrass to establish. Mow grass down to a height of an inch and a half,

no less.

It is also important to keep up with the harvest from the vegetable garden. This will require a little time every couple of days, for if you wait too long to harvest, the peak of flavor passes for many vegetables. Peas and corn turn starchy and lose their sweetness, beans get tough, and broccoli heads burst into open flowers. Also, production on plants like peas and beans slackens once their

seeds start to mature.

Now, what can be done in and around the garden on a strict once-a-week schedule?

Plants in pots are growing luxuriantly this time of year, so they will need weekly fertilization. Follow directions on the label for the particular type of fertilizer you buy. Remember that more fertilizer than is recommended will not make plants grow better. Too much fertilizer can burn

gry wildlife, and dig several inches from plant rows to avoid damaging roots.

Many gardeners treat their plants with fish emulsion, an organic, fast-release liquid fertilizer made from whole fish and byproducts from the fishing industry. It contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur and sodium, among other nutrients. It’s about as expensive as it sounds, but there are ways to avoid buying it.

Plants appreciate a wide array of fish-based applications, including a whole fish placed at the bottom of each planting hole, buried fish scraps (again, at least 10 to 12 inches deep) or homemade fish emulsion made by soaking scales, bones and entrails in a tightly sealed 5-gallon bucket of water for at least a month, then straining the liquid and using it to water plants. (Avoid using drained water from canned tuna, however, as its high sodium content may damage the soil and your plants.)

If you’re an angler, you already have access to these amendments. If you aren’t, your local fishmonger may be willing to give away – or sell at low cost – scraps and heads that would otherwise be

Required materials include dimensional oak lumber (as pictured; most other species will work), dowels, ready-made finials, screws, glue and finish.

To build, simply trace the parts onto wood (some edge-joining of stock is required), cut everything out and sand. Next, assemble the pieces using glue, screws and dowels. To complete, apply finish of choice and add a pad inside the cradle.

The rocker cradle measures about 51 inches long by 18 inches wide by 45 inches tall (at the back of the chair).

The Rocker Cradle plan, No. 644, is $9.95 and includes stepby-step directions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams and a shopping list and cutting schedule. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

Butter molds made impression on customers

T ISN’T EASY TO RECognize this wood piece with a deeply carved design. Unlike today’s familiar decorating stamping tools, it wasn’t pressed into ink and used to print on fabric or paper; it is a butter print.

Nineteenth-century farm families made their own butter, shaped it in molds, and pressed designs into it with hand-carved butter stamps or prints. If the butter was sold at a market, printed designs would appeal to customers and identify the maker.

Designs with symmetrical, repeating or divided elements may have helped divide the butter into portions. Some butter prints had handles or were attached to a butter mold.

This oval print with a flowerand-heart design and notched border sold for $5,015 at Conestoga Auction Co. It was made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the 19th century.

ant, Pennsylvania, from 1907 to 2004. It was famous for its Moon & Star pattern glass but was not the first to make it. The pattern was first made

by Adams & Co. in 1874 and was originally called “Palace.”

It was nicknamed “Moon & Star” because of the moonshaped depression and star design. Many glassmakers made variations of the pattern. L.E. Smith began making Moon & Star glass in 1962.

The company did not own the molds but leased them from Island Mold Co., paying a royalty for each piece. Most pieces are not marked. Moon & Star is a popular pattern.

There is a club for collectors: Society of Moon and Star Pattern Glassware. You can find more information on its website, moonandstarglass club.com. You may be able to find someone interested in your mother’s collection there.

CURRENT PRICES Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

Butter prints like this one pressed a design into freshly made butter as a decoration or for marketing. Today, collectors search for antique butter prints and consider them folk art. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

30-year US mortgage rate drops to 5.7%

By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

After being prodded higher by inflation fears, mortgage rates were dragged down this week by recession concerns.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average dropped to 5.7% with an average 0.9 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.81% the previous week and 2.98% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages. Rates for refinances may be different.

It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average also moved lower, falling to 4.83% with an average 0.9 point. It was 4.92% the previous week and 2.26% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average rose to 4.5% with an average 0.3 point.

It was 4.41% the previous week and 2.54% a year ago.

“The rapid rise in mortgage rates has finally paused, largely due to the countervailing forces of high inflation and the increasing possibility of an economic recession,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement.

“This pause in rate activity should help the housing market rebalance from the breakneck growth of a seller’s market to a more normal pace of home price appreciation.”
