We finally succeeded suc-ceeded In Milford, and hope we will find many more such fascinating . people to visit with. Our neighbor this week is a happy, contented, BUSY woman, Mrs. Mae Colborn, who was born in Grand Rapids, Rap-ids, Michigan. She remembers, remem-bers, as a child, traveling to school wrapped in a warm bearskin robe, in a Cutter or sleigh, skimming over snow so deep that it covered the fence posts. Mae has lived in Milford since 1939. She is the mo- I ther of four daughters and one son. Her daughter, Ruth, ' and her husband are artists, and I was overwhelmed with ' the beautiful hand -painted ' glasses, vases, watercolors, oils, and even lamps made from unusual bottles and painted with such lovely details. de-tails. Her home is filled with these beautiful things, and they are treasured because they were made and given to her by those who love her. A real artist herself, with a flair for doing things "just right", Mae showed me some lovely antique chairs she'd recovered so nicely, andher whole home reflects her vivacious vi-vacious personality. Mrs. Colborn has always enjoyed sewing. "I used to make all the Cheerleaders' outfits, band costumes, many wedding dresses, etc.", she said, and then showed me some of the lovely gowns and dresses she's made for herself. Beautlfull Sparkling reds, dazzling prints, and a lovely white one 'in the works' to finish one of these days when she gets time. Mae has always loved Dramatic Dra-matic Arts, and remembers memorizing stories and poems even as a small child. She often entertained her own children with readings and such, and they would laugh at the funny ones and sometimes some-times cry at the moving ones. Active in the Rebekahs, she is District Deputy President, Pres-ident, and is a Past Noble Grand. She has served as Chaplain for many years. She also belongs to the Union Pacific Pa-cific Old Timers Club 33, and served 11 years as Chaplain. Chap-lain. She belongs to the Grand Auxiliary of Locomotive Engineers, En-gineers, GIA, and is also ac- tlve in her church. "I love people, "said Mae. "I am just a happy person. I love my home, my friends, and enjoy keeping busy." I think Mae has discovered the key to a happy life for anyone, don't you? We all have our share of hardship and trials, but if we can look on the bright side and be involved in-volved in helping others, we are almost certain to find happiness ourselves. Mae enjoys her "hometown "home-town Milford". "I wouldn't live anywhere else!" she said. And I am sure Milford is fortunate to have her. Maybe because I am getting get-ting OLD (had another birthday birth-day last week) or maybe because be-cause I was having such a pleasant time just visiting, I completely forgot to ask for Mae's favorite recipe. I'll have to write myself a note, or maybe you folks could subtly remine me . . . 'Carol, I have this lovely recipe I'd like you to try' . . Meanwhile, here's an easy, favorite of mine.
