lovable baby, always. good-natured and cheerful. Heloves
company and is accustomed to a lot of attention, and he

hasn't affected disposition.
'Eddie sis 'a healthy,' sinal! -boned boy with dark grey
eyes, brown hair "and fair skin-. He iSn't-Tranding yet, but
he's very mobile anyway, traveling in his walker or just
rolling across' the floor. A chatty baby, he. doesn't seem to
mind that .nobody understands him. He is N:,ery- responsible to
inusie. .
Little is known ,of Eddie'.s background, except that it is.

you how I feel. I respect the
rights of those who do not
believe in God but I do not share
their view. God means
something different 'to each of

disaster on those who displease
Him. Sorne of the finest people I

There's nothing like a little
change at this time of year to
pull you. out of the Aoldrums.
That'S.what my wife said when
the school holidays were' com-
ing up. And she was right.
Most of our friends were
going somewhere: Skiing, Flor-
ida, Jamaica, Mexico, South
Carolina.
Family obligations alid lack
of cash' vetoed 'anything like
that, but she had a wonderful
plan. My brother-in-law and
family were going to Florida.
They live in the city. We'd go
to the city, stay at their place,
saving a big hotel bill; take in
a few show, and step out to
dinner a couple of times.

you" Says . "You ean take
your exam ipers and nark
them, you wo 't have a care in
the,world, w'11 have some fun,
and it will fe a nice. change for
you."
It was.
Our daughter was home for
the weekend, but was going
back to the city to stay in the
grubby hole her friends rent.
She wanted to take back her
cat and kitten., She was pre-
vailed upon to wait until mid
week — when we were' going
down — for the animals" sake.
.First mistake.
Word got around -among her
friends. Second mistake. To cut
it short, we left for the city-
wjth two cats, four teenagers,
two big boxes of grub for Kim,
enough clothes' to- go to Eu-
rope, and ine- in a surly mood.
Arrived at Kim's abode and
carried up tie food, only to
discover that three teen-y-bop-
pers had beat her to it, and
there wasn't room for her.
Took her back with us to
brother-in-law's 'house, a hand-
some place indeed. Picked ut•
- the key from a neighbor, as
arranged. Turned key in lock.
It bent. Played with lock.
Stomped on key with heel to
straighten it out. Couldn't. Fi-
nally or swung open. Great
relief.
Fumbled for lights,. all lo-
eated in wrong place. "Phew!
This place stinks," said Kim.
She wasrright. Dopey sister-in-

unfrozen, water all over floor,
meat putrid.
Solid hotir of mopping up,
scrubbing out frig. All hope of
hamburger gone out ,in gar-
bage, rotten. Eventually, I
made a mess of crumbled buns
in a large tin of , spaghetti
sauce. It tasted like spaghetti
