He usually doesn't do any in- door renovating until winter, but he has been finishing up putting on some trim upstairs in the hallway the last few days. Usu- ally, any jobs that were left un- done last spring just sit until the farm work slows down and the mood strikes him to pick up where he left off. Any hinting, suggesting, or outright asking by me seldom gets a job done any sooner. In fact, sometimes I think that when I mention a job, it gets lowered a notch or two on the priority list of things to do. I guess if I wasn't married to someone so overflowing with talent, he wouldn't have such a long list. Just a mere mention of the word 'renovating' will send him scurrying for his boots and cov- eralls so he can escape outside. But, a short time ago, out of the clear blue, he said to me, "I think we should do some more work on the house this winter." I nearly fell off my chair. I hadn't mentioned it for months, on purpose, and was waiting for just the right moment to bring the subject up, possibly in an- other month or two. "What did you say?" I asked, just to be sure I was hearing light. "No, wait, I heard you and yes, you're right, we should." I decided not to give him the chance to change his mind. So, things are looking hopeful for some home improvements this winter. Sometimes the Seed will re- spond immediately to some re- pair. job. Just recently, the win- ArYttt above't!' le kitchen 1c wouldn't close. I casually men - N 0 ► ► ► tioned it and he went tight over to investigate. Balancing on the edge of the counter on his knees, he put his hand down to get a little closer and placed his fingers in a mousetrap I had set there. BANG! The mousetrap went off. YOWCH! He straightened up BANG! He hit his head on part of the cupboard above him. Amazingly enough, he remained quite calm and proceeded to fix the window, which now closes nicely, long before the snow flies. 1t is a common dilemma of many faun wives to be sur- rounded by jobs that need doing but we aren't exact* sure how to go about doing them. I have learned that by changing the old saying, "If you want something done, do it yourself," to "if you want something done, START it yourself," works wonders in at- tracting help. The best way to begin is to ask the whereabouts of a few tools. This sets off a wanting signal to most men, "Tools?," he'll ask, looking a little worried at the thought of them falling into the wrong hands. He is getting a little wiser to this trick and doesn't fall for it as readily as he used to. "Here she goes again," he'll think to himself, "well I'm not going to step in and end up doing the whole job myself this time." So he tells me where the tools are and plans to wash his hands of the whole procedure. Away he goes, seemingly indifferent, to tend to his own list of jobs. Invariably, his curiosity gets the best of him and he just has to comeand see how. I'm getting along. '. "'�' "lust thought I'd eaomemtd , t , , Shalome II Owned and Operated by Sheri Beattie .

I smile innocently. "Oh, things are just great," I assure him. He winces a bit as I continue to kvork. I know he can only stand to watch me muddle around for so long. He continues to inspect my work and starts to frown a bit. "Here it comes," I say to myself "he's reaching the breaking point." He tries to remain subtle. "Don't you think it would work better this way'?" he offers. "Oh, I don't know, maybe," I reply. "You know, my old boss used to say, 'If you can't get the job done, you just need a bigger hammer.'" I'm starting to use scare tactics now. That does it. He can't take it anymore. The Seed steps in. "Here, let me show you," he says as he relieves me of the tools. I step aside and watch with great interest as he makes the work I struggled with look so easy. "Must be nice to have the know-how to do so many different things," I tell him. "I wish I knew how to go ahead and get some of these jobs done." He eyes me suspi- ciously, "I think you do know how." I flash another innocent smile. "Well, seeing as you're work- ing at that job, I may as well see what else I can do. I sure am getting tired of those scruffy old pine trees in the yard. You wouldn't happen to know where the chain saw is, would you?" Editor's Note: Val Thomson is a Granton -area farmer, home- maker, wife and mother of four children.

Colourful, tasteful floral arrangements are generally sent by those who can- not be present but wish to extend their condolences. These floral pieces help the bereaved to accept that life continues, though the loved one is no longer present to share in it. As such, flowers serve both to honour the deceased and to reaffirm the value of life itself. The sentiment which the flowers represent can travel further than the funer- al. Floral arrangements may be taken to the gravesite or to the church. Many hospitals and rest homes will accept gifts of flowers for, their residents and patients. Or flowers given by friends in honour of the deceased may be given to guests as a fragrant reminder of a life that has passed and of the value of their own lives. Most florists have developed special floral arrangements for funerals. We also can answer your questions about the value of flowers in funeral servic- es.
