SENIORS Connected to your community Uncle Lou’s visits were much like Christmas Didnʼt he just get an award for working on the marble in the Waldorf Astoria in New York? We even had a chip to prove it. Uncle Lou it was who at least once a year descended on our farm out in Northcote to bring us unspeakable joy. My motherʼs brother, one of the four who made up her family, had no children of his own when we were youngsters and when he came it was like Christmas all over again, even though our Christmases back then were nothing to write home about. Uncle Lou often came without telling Mother in advance. She would much prefer if he would at least send us a letter that he was on his way. Then the house could be torn apart from top to bottom, so that everything shone like glass: our feather mattress taken off the bed upstairs, the felt one from Mother and Fatherʼs bed hauled up to replace it, braided rugs beaten with the broom on the clothes line and the red and white checked oilcloth on the table in the kitchen replaced with a white linen one Mother had brought to the farm. But when he came unannounced, always on a Saturday, we knew he was on his way before he hit the yard. He would start blowing the horn of his big black Buick when he turned into our long lane and never let up until he came to a screeching halt at the back door. Mother had time only to change her apron and smooth back her hair, and then she would cry. I could never understand if she was so happy why she would cry. My sister Audrey said it was from sheer joy. I thought he looked like he should be a member of Parliament. He always wore grey flannel trousers, pressed knife-sharp and flannel shirts open at the neck. Uncle Lou was tall and as my sister Audrey once said, he even looks important.We five children never took our eyes off the back seat of the big Buick. We knew for a fact that inside his big brown cow-hide suitcases would be presents beyond belief. Always there were yards of silk for Mother and a new purse: big, with gold clasps and long handles. We had no idea how he knew our sizes, but each of us would get a new piece of clothing and everything always fit like it had been made for us. Uncle Lou would first stop at a grocery store in Renfrew and there would be grapes, bananas and real ham, not like we had in the smoke house, but big slices -- thick and just right for sandwiches. It would take ages to unpack the Buick. When it had been emptied, the brothers would carry the cow-hide suitcases up to the room my sister Audrey and I shared and Uncle Lou would take over the bed. We would move down to the creton couch in the kitchen. Motherʼs cheeks would be red as tomatoes and Father, who could never understand what all the fuss was about, would treat Uncle Lou like any other visitor who came out to the farm in Northcote. That meant he would still slurp his tea out of his saucer and sit with his feet on the oven door at night reading the Ottawa Farm Journal or the Family Herald and Weekly Star. As the evenings wore on, Mother and Uncle Lou would talk about New York and the many years Mother lived there. He would tell her about the changes: how the elevated trains went for miles and miles now and how a place called the Bronx was the place to live. Mother would listen wide-eyed and ask questions and the talk would go on and on.Uncle Lou had a wonderful singing voice and without fail, every night Mother would get out her harmonica and he would sing and she played. Then she would set the mouth-organ aside and they would sing in harmony, songs they both knew. My very favourite was one called I Had a Dream Dear. I thought it was very sad, but beautiful. Sometimes I would see a tear roll down Motherʼs cheek when the song was over. I knew she would be remembering those happy years when she lived in the city she loved before she left for the backwoods of Renfrew County. Even though Uncle Lou helped Father around the farm, he never seemed to get a mark on those grey flannel pants MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories and shirt. Every night, when he took off his shiny shoes, he buffed them with a cloth made especially for that purpose and he had wood forms he inserted into his shoes when he wasnʼt wearing them. My sister Audrey said she was quite sure all important men did the same thing with their shoes when they took them off at night, but I couldnʼt for the life of me ever see my father going to that trouble with the black laced boots he wore to church on Sunday. While Uncle Lou was visiting us we would have trips into Renfrew to the picture show at least twice during his stay. We would have cracker jacks to munch on during the movie and always we stopped for ice cream on the way home at Briscoeʼs General Store, which I was grateful stayed open every night until at least 11 p.m. Too soon it would be time for Uncle Lou to pack up and head back to New York. Whole quarters would be thrust into each of our hands and I knew he would give Mother a few bills too which she would immediately put in the blue sugar bowl with her egg money. Everett would swing wide the gate going out to the lane and with the horn going full blast, Uncle Lou would spin the tires on the Buick and he was gone. And there would be such a silence in the old log house, and I would wonder if it would ever be the same again. Mother would cry silently, wiping her eyes and blowing her nose into her apron, and that night our prayers would be for Uncle Louʼs safe trip to New York. And when it came time for our silent prayers each of us were expected to say before we left Motherʼs knee, I would pray that Uncle Lou would return soon. It wasnʼt only for the candy, the picture shows and the rides in the big black Buick, it was because his visit would bring Mother unspeakable joy and for a time, release her from the bonds that held her prisoner on that farm in Renfrew County.
