I did get some writing done yesterday after the yard work, hauling chairs from church, grocery shopping, and preparing and serving refreshments at the piano recital my wife held in our home for her piano students.
Mary and Ann Gibson made soap for the holidays using star, tree, and bell molds that their husband George made for them.
George also made a mold for round bars of soap by cutting a 2 foot length of cottonwood tree in half and hollowing it out. Bind the halves together, stand the mold up, pour in the hot soap, cool, open, and cut. George made a "branding iron"....GG...stands for Gibson Girls. They sold their soap blends all over Dixie and beyond.
Mary made butter, and poured off George's beloved buttermilk....no one had better drink any of HIS buttermilk.
George built a milk room on the side of the barn.
George built an ice house.
