The Free Press Wednesday Juris By Wendy Thomson My husband often makes comments and not very nice ones about how when we re getting rcadytogoout IleavetfiinRsto the last minute It but there a reason behind it Take last week when I was supposed to go into Toronto and my ride failed to come Instead of sitting and fretting I became quite absorbed in tidying up my fingernails then doing a bit of weeding then tidying up my nails again Finally I Immersed myself in Thoughts on driving To begin with I rarely drive without sunglasses In the summer and am constantly losing the cases Solved that problem by rounding up all the kids mitts that lost their partners last winter and use them to slip my glasses in Marcseatoals My next thought and I spent a long time on this one was of the conversation I had with a cousin lately and all the Do you remembers about trips up to the cottage country when we were small After the Do you remember riding In the rumble seat the day It rained with the tarp over our heads singing Chi goomba and we discovered my daughter Beth looking a little dazed And when we gat to talking about the firemen s rides we had along the road to the lake the two of us standing on the running boards hanging on for dear life or so it seemed while ducking branches well that sort of finished Beth off The poor deprived soul has never heard of running boards let alone rumble scats She know what missed When my ride finally arrived I kept on with my thoughts trying to remember how every road street and highway looked when I first been it I gotten so used to accepting all the changes as they came and forgetting entirely about how it used to be Like those big willow trees that lined a stretch of the going Into Toronto where people stopped constantly to picnic Even our own stretch of Town line here takes a good deal of concentrating on to conjure up the empty fields we first saw 12 years ago Where there was one cabin and one farmhouse there now sits nine houses New slant There s another bit of concentrating I do on drives over roads that have become almost familiar It might sound a little batty but I find that If we re driving south into Milton and I can convince my mind that the road is really a previously travelled one going east into Acton everything looks totally different Its a fascinating thing if you can do it but when I try to explain it to Gord he gets THAT look and says in THAT tone Yes And speaking of travelling and such a recipe for a pancake given me the recipe not the pancake by a downcast DOWN EAST PANCAKES Mix end sift cups flour

sound education one with sound basics so that I know that when the finish school they will at least know the three I want to see guidelines for the teachers with regard to Canadian history so that they will know something about their own country It seems very peculiar that we read or hear constantly about the culture of other countries and of the French Canadians We hear the praises of these people sung loudly and so they should be but when any suggestion of English or British culture is raised you are accused of being archaic and dull or proBritish I believe In the monarchy and do not
