She was busy and we had nothing to do. We caught our hostess, my sister Audrey, on her knees. She was posi- tioning the soaking bottom end of a sheet of wallpaper, while her neigh- bour, Karla, was positioning the top. Now my husband and I both do wallpaper but not after a 3 1/2 hour drive in blowing snow. So we politely declined to offer help — except critic- ism. The neighbour, Karla, soon ban- ished us: "This is a difficult enough job," she said, "without inspectors. Go ye therefore to the coffee pot and we shall join you as soon as we are done this strip." While we were having coffee I noticed something — it was getting dark. "Audrey," I said, "what about your pigs?" "Pigs," Audrey said absently, "what about ... oh ... Deb fed them before you arrived." Then Audrey asked, "Didn't you notice anything different when you walked in here?" "Well yes, you arc wallpapering." "And?" "And?" "You walked right by it!" "What?" I fairly howled. "A dishwasher!" Audrey shouted with glee. "I got a dishwasher for Christmas!" And by golly she did! But soon after we inspected it. and gave it our wholehearted approval, we noticed a little problem. It stuck out into the room. "Hmmm," I said, "I don't think that your husband has been mad at me for at least a month now, has he?" "Longer than that," Audrey replied.
