V -a -c -a -t -i -o -n. What a
lovely eight letter word. A
two week period that eve-
ryone looks forward to,
and spends the other 50
weeks of the year planning
for right? However, those
sun filled two weeks in
cottage country can quick-
ly turn into the worst two
weeks of your Iifc. As we were about to find out!
The quaint fully furnished cottage that sounded so terrific in
the brochure, turned out to be little more than a shack, with
cracks between the floor boards almost large enough for the
baby to drop through! Ah well, at last we didn't need a dust
pan after we swept the floor, everything just fell down those
-cracks. But deep in my heart i knew that if so much can go
down between those cracks, lots of less than wonderful things
.could crawl -up -through -them!
The windows had never seen glass, and the screens had so
many holes that they might just as well not have been there.
Each of the two bedrooms came equipped with not so sturdy
looking bunk beds, and the kids both clamboured for the top,
only because they don't want to be on the bottom when the
beds come crashing down. The naked light bulb swinging by
the frayed wire from the rafters didn't inspire a lot of confi-
dence.
It was easily accessible to the water, but the swampy area
which sat two feet from the back door was not the ideal place
for swimming (only mosquito breeding). The nearest sandy
beach was two miles down the road!
The first night 1 snuggled down into bed. I insisted on the top
bunk too, only to hear the ominous whooshing of wings. I
pulled the sheets tightly over my head, and yelled "bats!!" at
my husband. Why wasn't he springing up and going into action
to get rid of it? 1 rolled over to ask and he merely said that
maybe it would go away if we were quiet.
By this time daughter number two was awake and screaming
and daughter number one was running around with the broom
trying to hit the offending interloper! I shouted to her to cover
her head, because the bat might get into her hair. At this piece
of motherly wisdom. my husband decided he had to set the
record straight about bats getting into people's hair, but how do
you reason with one hysterical daughter. another who seems to
be screaming for bat blood, and a wife who will not take the
pillow from over her head. Finally, after chasing after the bat
for several hours (Well it seemed 1 was under the pillow that
long) and trying unsuccessfully to rid ourselves of the unwant-
ed visitor, hubby suggested we tum on all the lights and open
both doors and sec if it would fly outside. Cool heads pre-
vailed and our noctural aviator was gone. I just know I didn't
sleep a wink for the rest of that night. waiting for its return.
I think that a family vacation should be just that and mother
should have some time off as well. This recipe comes from last
year's TA cookbook, courtesy of Matt Regier. and is a quick
and easy pizza that even the kids can make for lunch by them-
selves
