Isn't it a strange thing? We
wait all year for our anneal
caseation end when it finally
arrives and subsequently has
goae, We discover that our
day hopes Were set too high. ,
(Mace talk On MondaY Morn-
ing 'here at the News-Record
revealed that most everyone
was a little disappoirited fel-
lowing ;the holiday, week., Net
that anyone would, 'have for-
feited the time-off in favour
of remaining on the job. Cer-
tainly not!
But somehow, the holidays
were not just What everyone
anticipated they Would be ,
glorious, exciting fun-filled
days tand nights stretching al-
most endlessly into what seem-
ed, at the start, to be an
eternity. * *
The, first weekend of xn•yeVa.-
cation was a sheer delight
With my .faaniily, I visited on
quiet Lake Sinneoe at the cot-
tage of my cousin, With the
exception of the squabbling be-
tween her Children and niirte,
the near disaster when my son
clobbered her daughter with a
croquet mallet, the repeated
warnings to Stay away from
the seemingly bottomless la
goon at the rear of the prop-
erty and the presence off mighty
mouthy mosquitoes, thee hours
were pleasant and relaxing.
The highlight . . . for me
at least . . . . was a trip to the
Red Barn at Jacksons ,Point
Where live theatre is performed
at its best.
We saw "Birthday Honourts",
a rollicking comedy about a
high-flying wife; her disen-
chanted husband, his eye-flut-
tering secretary, wifey's frus-
trated lover, a Sexy di:duster
and a rather brash; immoral
mother-in-law. The whole
point of the show Was to prove
that tvvo,or three, or four can
play at the game of =faith-
fulness.
Only the cows and the hay
had been removed from this
theatre where hunclredls of va-
cationers come for entertaha
-anent each summer. The floors,
wails, windows, and doors in
the barn are left untouched .
even the bank-barn, or gang-
way, was left intact and serves
as an outdoor' smoking lobby
during intearnisaion.

We travelled from the nor-
thern extrerneties of Lake
Stimcoe on Saturday to the
southern exposure of Rondeau
Park for 'a company picnic on
Sunday. This would be hardly
worth mention except that my
husband. and I walked away
with top honours iin the "spoon-
feeding" contest.
The men were lined up at one
end of the picnic area with a
container ofegooey, sticky thee-
elate ripple ice :cream at their
feet. We hiders had to race to
our defenseless hubbies, who
were forced to keep their hands
behind their backs whilst we
spooned the entire contents of
the "dish" into their oft-times
reluctant, unopened mouths.
The result was a group of
messy men with faces smeared
from ear to ear with chocolate,
shirts dripping with the brown
syrup and stomachs sickened
by an over-load of the icey sub-
stance shoved at them immedi-
ately after lunch.
When we were declared the
winners, we were asked for an
explanation of why we had
done sot well. The answer was
"It just goes to show which
of these men gets spoon-fed
art home," I gaid.

Monday was the beginning of
the end.
As per plan, I set about to
accomplish the impossible . . .

to prove I was a glutton for
punishment, I played hostess
at the same time to a niece
and a nephew who arrived to.
spend six hysterical days with
my children.
It took only two hours of
bedlam to convince me that my
timing of the two projects was
all wrong. In the first place,
house beatttiful and children
vacationing don't mix, In the
Second place, any easy ofiliee
routine has left me out of con-
dition: Ind devoid of the physli-
sial statnina one needs to cope
