| bert cookie jar: On My Honor Beth Nelson, 2007-01-09 Amos Daniel Weiss and Bert Harold Carson were young long before the time of political correctness. Amos or Dan as he preferred was the son of the town drunk, whose parents had cast him from their home when he married a Gentile. Bert was the son of an ice cream maker, whose boss had committed suicide in the crash of 1929. The Carson family was middle-class protestant. Both were feisty and small of stature- determined to make for themselves- Dan as a nationally known restaurateur, Bert as a character actor. They both were scouts under the beloved Troop masters Ryan McMahon, whose family were catholic. Bert and Dan took troop masters McMahons earnest advise to aspire to the values of their oath- to honor Go, to be kind, loyal, brave and honest, very seriously because he lived these values everyday with humor and his wifes brusque, but loving assistance. |

| bert cookie jar: The Ditch Digger - The Life of J. Fletcher Creamer, III Leonard Johnsen, 2004-11-29 Book Description Those of us who once ventured up to Palisades Amusement Park on a hot summer’s evening and passed through its brightly painted portal knew right away we were entering a different world. The uncertain feeling in the pit of our stomachs coupled with a flutter in our chests meant that life as we once knew it was about to change, at least for a while anyway. As we hurried along the bustling midway, heads turning, eyes flashing, nothing seemed quite real, as if everything was being viewed through a prism. The cacophony of sounds, the blinking lights and the suffocating smells were both offensive and seductive. The Cyclone roller coaster was scary but who cared. We stood in line to ride it again and again, yet another chance to throw up our hands and scream at the top of our lungs. And unlike Moses standing on the mount with a view of the Promised Land he would not enter, for a mere pittance, everyone was welcomed into Palisades Amusement Park–man, woman, even child if accompanied by an adult. Now, like those thrilling days of yesteryear, we are again about to enter another different world. It is the world of a most remarkable man who has lived a most remarkable life. J. Fletcher Creamer, III, has graciously left an indelible mark on everything he has accomplished and on everyone he has met. And while Palisades Amusement Park is now just a fond memory, Fletch goes on doing what he does best–being Fletch–unpretentious yet larger-than-life. As Shakespeare might have put it, age cannot wither Fletch Creamer. Yet just like the wind, mortal life is a moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife. And like Palisades Park’s mighty Cyclone, Fletch’s life has endured its share of ups and downs, its own particular twists and turns. That is perhaps what makes his story so compelling, one that must be shared. So, as the park attendant once hollered just before pulling the lever that unleashed the Cyclone’s immense power, “Hold on tight, folks. You’re in for the ride of your life.” |

| bert cookie jar: Junkyard Man Libby Howard, 2023-10-10 One man’s treasure can be an entire neighborhood’s junk. Mr. Peter has lived across the street long before Kay moved into her house, and over the decades the collection of old washing machines, lawn mowers, and refrigerators in his front and back yard has reached the point where it’s nearly impossible to find the front door. The man is an eccentric recluse, but how can anyone dislike a kindly person who loves old pottery and dinnerware, and slips Taco, the cat, chicken sandwiches every chance he gets? Evidently someone disliked him—disliked him enough to kill him. Was the killer one of the frustrated neighbors? Mr. Peter’s nephew? The delivery man? Or someone else? Kay won’t rest until his murderer is brought to justice. |

| bert cookie jar: The Summer of the Train Ann Trainor Purdy, 2021-09-23 Welcome to Spring Cove, a picturesque village with New England charm, rambling farms, sheds, front porches, gardens, clothes lines, flocks of chickens, and party lines. This story transports the reader to the MacWilliams farm and allows the reader to watch as the family lives through most of the twentieth century in a small rural village along the southern mid-coast of Maine. This is a journey to a time and place when your grandmother’s kitchen smelled of apple pie, people swam in rivers, communities celebrated the 4th of July at the Village Green, and relatives returned home for the holidays. Ann Purdy gives us a glimpse back to what was once so familiar. She portrays her characters and the period so that they seem like the people you once knew - your family, your neighbors, and your friends. There is the delivery man who always advises he takes his coffee black, though everyone knows it, and the switchboard operator that listens in on calls and seems compelled to share the details. Every small town had characters and was better for it. Generations of women in the family sit in the same window seat and gaze out upon the MacWilliams farm thinking about their reality, what might be, and how to proceed forward. There is no wallowing in their circumstances. They exhibit a manner of living that is genuine, kind and yet very strong. “...memories, deep and true, are woven into the fabric of our lives.” Ann Purdy’s book takes us to see the threads of this family and it reminds us of our own fabric, too. —Ruth Dunbar, Director, Four Pines Book Club |

The Grub-and-Stakers gardening club has traditionally limited its activities to serving tea and gossiping about wildflowers, but when water department supervisor John Architrave is found murdered in the woods, club member Dittany Henbit turns to solving mysteries. After Architrave’s will reveals that he bequeathed his ramshackle old house to the Grub-and-Stakers, with instructions for it to be turned into a museum, Dittany resigns herself to weeks of cleaning out the mansion and sorting through donated town “artifacts.” The task turns interesting, however, the minute bodies start falling from the sky. The new curator is airing out the house’s attic when he takes his tumble off the roof. So unlikely is it that he would fall out the tiny attic window, that Dittany has no choice but to attempt to add one captured killer to the young museum’s permanent collection. |
| bert cookie jar: Sting-Ray Afternoons Steve Rushin, 2017-07-03 This is a story of the 1970s. Of a road trip in a wood-paneled station wagon, with the kids in the way-back, singing along to the Steve Miller Band. Of brothers waking up early on Saturday mornings for five consecutive hours of cartoons. Of growing up in a magical era populated by Bic pens, Mr. Clean and Scrubbing Bubbles, lightsabers and those oh-so-coveted Schwinn Sting-Ray bikes. And of a father -- one of 3M's greatest and last eight-track salesmen -- traveling across the country on the brand-new Boeing 747, providing for his family but wanting nothing more than to get home. In Sting-Ray Afternoons, Steve Rushin paints an utterly nostalgic, psychedelically vibrant portrait of a decade overflowing with technological evolution, cultural revolution, as well as brotherly, sisterly, and parental love. Funny, elegiac... a remarkably sunny coming-of-age story about growing up in a Midwest world. -- NPR |

| bert cookie jar: Buying for the Home Margaret Ponsonby, 2017-03-02 Buying for the Home is a book about the experiences and also the polarities of shopping and the home. It analyses the ways in which the agencies and discourses of the retail environment mesh with the processes of physical and imaginative re-creation that constitute the domestic space, teasing out the negotiations and interactions that mediate this key arena. The study examines how the strategies of retailers were both arbitrated by and negotiated through the actions and desires of the homemaker as consumer. Drawing on the recent CHORD (Centre for the History of Retail and Distribution) colloquium on shopping and the domestic environment and including two specially commissioned pieces, the book draws on a wide selection of interdisciplinary work from established scholars and new researchers. Organised around four key themes - retail arenas and the everyday; identity and lifestyle; fashioning domestic space; and cultural practice - the ten case studies cover a range of cultural encounters and locations from the seventeenth to the late twentieth century. Through these interdisciplinary but linked case studies, Buying for the Home forces us to consider the fractured space that existed between the world of goods and the middle- and working-class home and in so doing interrogate how middle-class and plebeian homemakers view, imagine and ultimately occupy their domestic spaces in early-modern, modern and post-modern society. |

| bert cookie jar: Family Reunion Eric Selby, 2008 For decades Ethel Davis Hopper, known by everyone around town as a poison-dripper and a control freak, has hosted family reunions in her little slice of beautiful northern Vermont for what has burgeoned into five generations of Davis and Hopper offspring. This year's reunion will be different, though: she's planning to host her own living funeral. The extended family, described by Ethel's favorite granddaughter as people who cluster themselves in three factions, like bunches of Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds, plans to gather at Ethel's dream home overlooking the quaint village, despite their confusion as to what the longtime organizer has in store for them. Even the far-flung and estranged Hopper clan intends to show up this year, mostly because they wouldn't miss the old harridan's send-off to the world. As the reunion approaches, this richly textured, dark yet comic novel reveals generations of family secrets and the inbred dysfunction that accompanies that history, much of it told through the journals of Ethel's late husband, Lyle. In her finest melodrama to date, Ethel serves up guilt-trips, barbs, and a self-serving, revisionist view of life with her loving husband to her long-suffering offspring. Come and see how much fun a Family Reunion can be. Our own families will seem tame by comparison. |
