This week I holidayed.,.well, you can't really say it was a holiday becatlse it was more like a change without the rest. We had planned to go camping if the weather had co-operated. Some of our friends tried it, but gave up in disgust either on Saturday morning or later Saturday evening. The Kellers had their licks at camping last May 24 weekend. That was enough to last us for several years, and we vowed there and then that unless the weather was exceptionally fine, we would stay at home until June. Hubby had planned a project for a customer at the beach b'.tt the rain washed all those ideas away. That's likely why we went into the carpentry business Saturday and I know that's the reason I didn't get this column completed in time for that day's mail. You see, I have a husband who hates to work alone. Even if he is in the same house, even the same room, he feels shut away — lonesome, I guess — if he does not have the undivided attention of someone while he is at his labors. I have tried to give him the children as assistants. That doesn't work either, because the kids soon get bored watching and waiting for something to do, so they simply walk away at the first idle moment and get lost. And that's why the carpenter's helper job falls to me and that's why I didn't get this literary disaster prepared earlier. The actual piece of workmanship is our bedroom. We're building one of those storage walls that look so functionally beautiful in all the magazines. We've been planning it for about six months and the finished product will not even resemble our intentions. My part in the whole affair was to hand hammering hubby his tools. I can't say that it is such hard work as it is tedious and frustrating when other work waits while I shift ,helplessly from foot tokfooti,listening ;for • the •rilexlarfiocornmand,t•,.: f R o .ln.,3' spouse. "Get me those pieces of two by two. Hand me the square. Don't you know which bit T need for the drill? Open those catches and pulls. How wide do you want this shelf?" al/ad-deal STUDIO Specializing in . . . • Weddings • Children Single or Group Portraits; and Passports 524-8787 118 St. David Goderich Monday was a repetition of Saturday .except, it Was all day.. By evening as the job was taking shape, tempers were getting mighty short and I was in no mood to put my thoughts on paper. T'wouldn't 'have been safe. By that time, the weather had cleared. At the behest of the children, we went to the back yard to, assemble the tent trailer home we almost live in just as soon as the days are warmer. tt,on1y.,,.takes a few :1n9ments to raise that tent. Said hubby, "I'm even starting tot get the camping bug just handling this tarp." He's smiling! "Me too," I cry, happy at last to be out of that sawdust cell and into the open spaces. With the help of the two older kids, I drag out the new tent we purchased through the winter. We .also bring out a bag full of ropes, another of pegs and several lifts of pipe. We start to assemble the new tent. We don't know what goes where. Hubby's camping fever has flown; his recent anger returns. We roll up the canvas, pack up the pegs and the ropes and the pipe and replace the tent in its winter hideout, It is time for dinner: Naturally there is absolutely nothing cooked. I end up serving hamburgers, cooked and served inside to the dismay of the kids. "Some holiday," they chant. My sentiments exactly! But I have a new storage wall in the bedroom. One must be grateful for small mercies. tf Middle ton 4 lls ;.The .C.W. of St. James', I id Leto' ,.•aitet May 14 at the home of Mrs. John W.
