Lots of women in. this ,age of
s:oft living, have .lost touch with
nature. They , think they're, rough-•
ing it like their pioneer ancest
•ors if they spend two. weeks at.
a :cottage with outdoor plumb-'
ing. •
My wife, isn't like that,:. and ;I
admire her for it. I've seen her
spend :a week .in . a .Cottage,.. right
opt • on some wild beach with`,no:
neighbours, closer 'than`:.forty
�:or
fifty 'feet,• and :nothing to cook on
bait an old electricstove with only'
two burners, and :do :.you think
there was a 'whimper. out of her?
N:ot on .your life. •
And • she's'.: absolutely. • intrepid
in the outdoors. Some women are
frightened .of anything ' bigger
•.than an ant. Not my brave girl..
I've, seen . her' stamp•. her foot
fearlessly at•:a . chipmunk a;nd .tell
him to•�beat it; And. she.. was only.
two days getting over it the time.
the porcupine walked ,.past` the
cottage:..

No , she '"doesn't seem to. know..
.the rrieaning' of fear,' when she's.
gut . in nature: I've. seen , her' go
right out in a grow boat and not
even .hang onto the. sides, after
the first. twenty minutes.,
And when she wants to go
swinuning, it doesn't matter what
the 'weather's iike,..as long as the
sun is shining. and the - tempera-
•
ture's' in the .O's and., she has a
new $24 swim suit and she hasn't
lost or. gained' any weight during,
the winter and there aren't any
waves and there are no stones on
the .'bottom & there's a kid drag
ging her by each ,hand.
Well, you can see what we're
up' against. As' I said, the ' kick
and I Would be happy 'enough
knocking around at–some plush
resort, but ' Whether we like* it
or not, she's' going to drag us off
on. this, •kookie camping trip. ;
All I have to 'do between now.
and • the last week in August is
borrow a tent with twin beds
and an oil furnace in it, and make
sure the staff at. Algonquin Park
has killed all mosquitoes in the
park and installed plugs .for our,
