Part one of this series talked about the fabrics. Today we cover washing them. Using the proper settings to wash and dry your clothing and other gear will help it last longer, keep colors brighter and avoid damage. Some clothing has tags that tell you to wash in cold water and hang to dry while others might just have a series of symbols.
Of course, these are actual hieroglyphics, but unless you understand laundry care symbols, it’s not any different.
William J Link was born on May 12, 1827 in Ellabach (Oerlenbach), Bavaria. He was the son of George Link and Anna Mary Limbach (Eihnbach). William was Walt’s great, great grandfather.
Taking care of your camping gear (and other items) means it will last longer and work better. It is more sustainable and will save you money. This is the first in a series about caring for your gear. Today, I am going to cover fabrics and insulators. Knowing what the material is will help you care for it properly.
On May 5, 1909 John H. Link married Josephine Schulte at St Mary’s Church in West Point, Iowa. John and Josephine are Walt’s great uncle and aunt. John’s brother William is Walt’s grandfather.
Sometimes when you start on a project you have an idea of what the finished product will look like but end up with something entirely different. Several years ago, I was planning a spinning stars quilt from a block I had seen. I had chosen some fun and funky fabrics. I packed them up and headed off to a quilt retreat. It was January, and it was the year that the Indianapolis Colts won the Superbowl.
Food is a big part of family gatherings. I’ve been thinking about family recipes a while. There’s always some favorite cake that grandma made or your uncle’s amazing fudge. We recently had some company and I baked my aunt’s Carrot Cake. It came out just as good as I remembered, and our company asked for the recipe. I gave them the copy I had printed out.
Bernard Brune and Bernadine Wellman were married on April 21, 1903 in West Point, Iowa. Bernadine was Georgina’s 1st cousin once removed.
I do a lot of batch cooking and freeze items for later. Sometimes it is nice to do a smaller recipe, especially for desserts. We don’t want to be eating a cake for two weeks! Here’s a quick orange cake treat for two.
Sometimes it’s hard to write these posts. We lost cousin Dan Nelson far too young. Dan was born on April 14, 1962 to Leslie and Louise Link Nelson in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On this, his birthday, I wanted to share a few pictures of Dan from the early 1970s.
Maria Kulhmann was born on April 7, 1894 in Bokel, Germany. She is Walt’s 1st cousin twice removed. Her mother was Maria Elisabeth Wellman, Gerhard Wellman’s sister. I found out a bit about her from the ship’s manifest from her emigration from Germany.
