tome brickwork done in Decern Of course the weather turned wild the bricklayer work and we wound up with four thousand wet bricks in the back kitchen Dripping and smell like wet brick Another time she decided to have the her parents aunts and assorted relatives B the time she d finished scouring and that old house was shining like two bubbles a chamber pot and groaning in every board That s the the kit floor was waxed so highly 1 dropped he turkey on it when 1 slipped en route the dining room She speak to me until about Valentine Day Its sewing All else is for gotten as she tries to make clothes enough in three weeks for her daughter weir for a year Material tapes patterns pins and needles everywhere And I the woundmarks to prove it should my pants down If she can I dream up something to push the thoughts of Christmas shell tackle it headon with a baking spree Every mixing bowl in the house is actuated the oven goes full blast is hours a day and if you re not stepping in butter you re stepping in flour while the fancy cookies cakes and puddings pile up to the point where the inmates of a Togging camp eat them all This Christmas she herself Back in the fall some idiot mentioned on the air that there were only seven shopping days until The old lady immediately went inti a that would makt a whirling den- si look like a statue lent into her routine She bought a taulking gun a wood chisel j hammer and a key hole saw the door knobs were to lie because tliev have a of coming away in your hand new lock put on the back door though l hen v is nothing wrong with the i Id one except you could open it with a credit and all the windows to Ik insulated Sow none of the door knobs work at all and you have to pull doors open with toes or fingernails the lack is on the back door and it s a dandy but we have to leave the door braced open with a slipper when we go out so that we can get back in and the wind coming In around tin windows would make your hair stand Hallway through this Job which is why it finished she declared the master bedroom must be painted She git lh ceiling dine with the resultant if miving furniture and taking of the closets a halfda job Just as struck by a

hold enough stuff to withstand a threeyear s siege As 1 Write it all sitting in liquor boxes on the kitchen floor in the front hall intheveslibule the living room and the basement If you want to make a sandwich you go the basement for bread prowl through eighteen boxes to find a knife look for the butter in the box with the winter boots and find a slice of ham in a box on the attic stairs in with the soap the adhesive tape and the thumb tacks loud think that would be to keep Christmas bay Not at all She decided that ifter years of married something or other we must gel a stereo with cassette the whole works Simple enough had only two hi fi machines and a cap cassette recorder For weeks I huddled in my chair in the livingroom surrounded by boxes listening avidly while she ex by Bill Smiley penmenled with two different sets of speakers various microphones and about of wire all over the floor speakers she liked agreed were the best Then she change her mind She wanted to get the mistakes she made while practising the piano in order to correct them It madt a nice change to be tripping instead of stubbing my toe on a paint can or stepping in sock on Of course it all came right in the end Tin smelted fresh paint I was awakened morning at a m by i squeal of a microphone and you Mill lock yourself in the bathroom if vou pull on the But Hit butler s back in the fridge the have chipped
