Known by many children as
the lad> who dro\ e their school
bus for five y ears. as well as
brightened their da> with a
smile as she sensed their food
in the Rains School cafeteria,
is our cook of the week. Ed-
dyth Stewart.
About a month after she
started working in the kitchen
she began dnsing a bus.
replacing a man that the kids
fondly called "Mr T." who
died from a heart attack
”1 liked dnsing the bus for
the first few sears until m>
reoccumng headaches became
almost unbearable at times I
thought thes were caused from
back problems until I went to a
chiropractor and happened to
discover the real cause of m>
headaches I was looking
through a Ladies Home Jour-
nal and saw an article about
certain foods that can cause
allergies and awful headaches
The two things I suspected
were coffee and onions, and I
hoped it wouldn't be my
onions !'d have to give up' By
totally quitting coffee, my
headaches and back pain
stopped and I've never been
bothered with them again."
she said gratefully.
Eddyth and her husband.
J.R . just had their 37th wed
ding anniversary last month
and have raised two daughters
and a son. They also have eight
grandchildren who are very
much a part of their lives. One
daughter and son. Angie and
Phillip, live in Emory and their
other daughter. Charlotte,
lives in Quitman.
The Stewart family has lived
in Rains County for about
eighteen yean, coming from
the Dallas/Mesquite area.
"We were on the borderline
between them and neither one
claimed us." Eddyth recalled.
"We paid school taxes, etc., to
Dallas, but our utility bills
went to Mesquite.”
J.R. has worked for the
county in precinct 3 helping
maintain the roads for about
two yean now, and Eddyth
recently received her training
from Advantage Home Health
Care in Sulphur Springs to
qualify for home nursing. “1
wanted this kind of work
because I think helping elderly
people is fulfilling and also for
t
the extra income." she said
Eddyth is trying to get back
in the routine of taking brisk,
daily walks and hopes to even-
tually walk about three miles a
day like she used to do. She
likes going fishing with J.R
sometimes and enjoys reading
non-fiction and the Bible She
lias taught a children s class
before at the First Assembly of
Yahvah in Emory, but says
now she sits and listens to
someone else teach while ab-
sorbing it like a sponge.
The Stewarts used to spend
many happy hours taking trips
on his motorcycle and would
like to again someday. Once
their neighbors. Jimmy and
Glenda Fritz, traveled with
J.R & Eddyth on motorcyles
to Colorado. They have also
taken motorcycle trips to
Canada, the Smoky Moun-
tains. Big Bend. Texas, and to
the Pro Bass Shop in Spring-
field. Missouri. Their last trip
was about two years ago when
two other neighbors. Wendell
and Anna Clawson, went with
them to Arkansas in the fall
when the leaves were turning
lovely shades of red. yellow
and orange.
Since Eddyth worked in the
kitchen for several years at
school, raised a family and
often has grandchildren over,
she has become a pretty good

fancy cook, but serves some
good ol' country meals to her
family. especially after church
on Sabbath when several fami-
ly members usually eat with
her and J.R
"J.R. is a meat and potatoes
man and would like to have
dessert with almost every
meal, but I don't make a lot of
desserts like I used to. I try to
think more health-minded
now." she said.
Here are three of the recipes
she especially likes and says
they 're simple recipes to

(Tlakes 4 to 6 servings.
When J.R. and I were ex-
pecting our first baby we were
living in a mobile home that we
really didn't like very much.
We had planned on trading it
for another one sometime, but
after an incident that happened
in the kitchen we decided it
was time to get rid of the
mobile home immediately.
I had pul some pinto beans
on to cook and had gone next
door for awhile, but had
forgotten about the beans and
was in no hurry to get back.
When 1 walked through the
door I suddenly remembered
because of the smoke that filled
the air. The pan was oumed so
bad that it had to be thrown out
and the scent of smoke was so
strong in the mobile home that
we only stayed in it two more
weeks before trading it for a
different one. I’ve often
wondered what the owner of
the mobile home lot did with
that trailer. We had washed
just about everything in it, in-
cluding the baby clothes in the
bassinet, in an attempt to get
rid of the smell, but the odor
remained.
J.R. wondered how I could
have completely forgotten the
beans in the first place until the
day he left a pan of beans cook-
ing and went to town. His pan
was burned so bad that it stuck
to the stove! I loved it since he
was the one that hardly ever
made mistakes.
As told by Eddyth Stewart
FOOD FOR
THOUGHT
One day an 86-year-old man
was in his backyard digging a
hole. His neighbor was curious
about why his old neighbor
was digging this hole, so the
man asked about the hole and
what the old man was going to
do with it. The 86-year-old
man said. “I’m going to plant
a peach tree."
"A peach tree." his neigh-
bor chuckled and then said.
"You'll never eat any peaches
off of that tree. Why plant it?"
The old man replied, "I've
been eating peaches all my life,
and I have never planted a
peach tree, so I'm planting this
tree so that some day someone
will pick and enjoy peaches
from it. No. maybe I won’t
ever eat any peaches from this
tree, but 1 know someone in the
future will."
Future peaches! Food for
thought!

Spring’s Around the Corner
Who said that? It’s not
around any of our comers.
It was about 20 degrees this
morning (Thursday. Feb. 18).
Now . it has risen to about 30
degrees in three hours - that ’s
climbing pretty fast. The sun is
shining bright and there’s no
wind, so it's not too bad.
The seed catalogs are
coming in each day. Why do
we enjoy them so much? They
look the same each year and we
mostly plant the same things
every season. Oh! maybe we’ll
experiment with a new seed or
plant occassionally.
Now is a good time to feed
the birds, and then go back in
the house and look out the win-
dows and see who comes to
dinner.
We have one bird around
here that we wish would move
on - a small type of wood-
pecker. The last few years our
plastic red-headed woodpecker
on the right side of the tree has
scared them away, but not this
young, brave one. He has sap
runr’ng all the way down the
side of our sweet gum tree.
Our male cardinals are the
brightest red you have ever
seen.
A few blue birds are here,
and I'll have to say, they are
beautiful in color, also. They
are bright blue and rusty red.
Have you seen the robins? I
believe they packed their bags
too early.
1 still say the cardinals are
the most gentle birds around.
They will share their food with
all the birds. (Unlike the mean
ol’ jay that does more fighting
than eating.)
The red cardinal is so beauti-
ful, and the common sparrows
are so plentiful, but it is a
pleasure to watch them togeth-
er. Can’t we learn a lot from
the birds!!! They are all God’s
creatures - just like us
humans. Some are more gentle
and some are more pleasant to
look at, but inside we are alike
and we need to help each other
get by in this world.
Life is too short to push and
shove all the time. Let’s keep
looking around the corner.
Around my corner right now
are four male cardinals and just
one female. I know there are
more out there — just sitting
back and acting like "real
ladies."
