Wednesday Sept There s a small hotel that treats all so well Just a few rather dour comments on a few as cummer drags to a close I now know what it like to run a summer hotel without benefit of staff I undertook to lake my for two weeks They were here for four Their mother joined us for a few days and stayed two weeks Their Hugh has been up from the city at least every other weekend often with friends Trouble is that it beautiful around here with trees swimming in fresh water breathing in clean air and eating fresh food sweet com picked today green or yellow beans the same real tomatoes instead of those hard bitter little pellets from Florida or California strawberries and raspberries and blackberries just off the vine don I blame them The city can be pretty gruelling in a hot summer But next summer I going to lock up the big brick house with the jungle In back and the mas she oak in front and take a motel room with one bed no swimming pool First two weeks with the boys were fine Made their sandwiches every night pop ped them in the freezer the sandwiches not boys Drove them away from the televisional they have at home a tiny black and white with two channels Turfed them out of a sleep like the dead at Supervised breakfast kids can drink a barrel of orange juice in a week Checked to see they had sandwiches an apple or banana or pear wrapped their bottle of pop in their towels made sure they hadtheirswim suits and booted them out the door in the general direction of clothes no easy feat Speaking of feet they have the happy faculty of playing football or baseball or basketball in the back yard in their bare feet just after the lawn sprinkler has been on for two hours then rushing inside across the rug and going for a pee then rushing back across it to resume It didn seem to bother the boys but It played hell with the rug I don t think I can get it cleaned Might as well throw it out Their Gran would have killed them On the spot But there are so many spots now it seem worth it Dinner was fairly simple I didn fuss around like Gran getting a wholesome meal with chicken thighs talies salad and dessert Small boys love hamburgers and chips Needless to say we dined quite often Thanks to Ben the of the two the back lawn looks as though several goats had been grazing on it and after eating all the grass had started eating dirt Ben to the amusement of my neighbors can play any game without equipment or opponents Baseball he can take a called strike scowl the umpire foul one into the stands then hit a double and stretch it into a triple sliding into third base He can dribble a basketball get it back and drop an easy basket walking away dusting his hands He eight and at even decided his ghen name was not for him so renamed himself Ben Quite a kid Lives in his own world And pretends to be deaf when you try to call him out of It As soon as their mother arrived of course the boys went ape Every grand parent knows about this Dont ask me why 1 not a child psychologist Dear Kim has overabundance of talent She composes music writes like an angel is an excellent teacher and has been poor ever since got married She a bit sick of being poor But she an excellent mother Sick of being poor she spent most other time here writing new songs that were going to make a million and pumping me to find out bow to be a syndicated col urn within a month at the outside And we fought She is a bristly feminist and I as she thinks a male chauvinist But we love each other and when the fights got near the bloodletting stage one of us would grin and declare truce She took me for about one grand this summer counting everything but you cant take it with you so why not Hugh is another fettle of He lives in one room in the city with cooking leges but cook much When he home he is either standing at the fridge door open as he used to do when he was 16 or standing over the stove cooking some infernal but delicious concoction full of almonds raisins garlic and whatever with a pasta base He not an old waiter for nothing This weekend he brought a friend Elena She on a very strict diet because of allergies and brings her own food Not wanting to be beholden she bought some food I asked how many were coming to dinner She said just the three of us Two chops each and a couple to share I turned green But she and Hugh ate two each and Hugh had another couple for breakfast I bought some homemade bread and Elena has six slices Hugh ate the rest of the loaf at the same sitting except for one slice which I surreptitiously snagged while they were sitting around belching Tough diet eh Threw them onto a bus to the city this morning laden down with plastic bags full of com beans blueberries tomatoes green onions All fresh local stuff They left me with a refrigerator full of Elena s diet soup ugh Hughs dried com and a lot of other delicacies from health food store that are going straight into the garbage Its a lot of fun running a summer hotel With no staff Next summer there going to be no manager either GEORGETOWN 877 5266 ACTON 8532219 You may now charge your classified advertisement to your Chargex Account Ask for details PARK LINCOLN Wednesday
