Lake Huron MI ONTARIO NY I’ve heard it said that family traits often skip a generation. That certainly seems to be true in our case. My maternal grandmother was a neat and tidy soul who kept a well-organized, good-looking house, at least as good- looking as her budget allowed. My mother, on the other hand, lived in chaos amid half-made curtains clinging to their rods with pins, paint cans stacked in the corner of the kitchen for a paint job that never got done, a basket of clean laundry waiting for weeks beside the ironing board, boxes of stuff unpacked for months after the last move from a former house—the hallmarks of someone for whom the day never had enough hours or one who, more likely, was an incurable procrastinator. When I came along, I turned out to be just like my grandmother, even to a much greater degree than my dear Nana. As a child, I couldn’t wait to grow up and have my very own house, which I swore would be beautiful as well as tidy. But I think I got the desire for beautiful things from my mother, for when I was still very young, she used to haunt the antique shops and the second-hand By Maryleah Otto, Brampton Daytripping to PETROLIA, WYOMING and ALVINSTON Our Readers Are Our Writers!

Rare was the occasion when she could afford any of the fine furniture or the china or the rugs that she longed for but she loved to go looking and somehow the patina of a handcrafted mahogany Victorian dining table or the exquisite craftsmanship of Wedgwood pottery or the artistry of an Oriental carpet found a spot in my consciousness. My love of such treasures has remained to this day. Skip ahead thirty years and I had a daughter of my own. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised when her idea of ‘housekeeping’ turned out to be exactly like my mother’s! As a teenager, her room resembled the aftermath of an earthquake. Lectures from me and threats of dire consequences were in vain. I despaired, I complained, I cajoled, I scolded—all to no avail. We are what we are. Aha! Enter Eva, my teenage granddaughter! Guess what? She is just like me in her passion for order, organization, tidiness and her love of beautiful things. • Honey o e • Mead d • Gift Baskets • Natural u r al a l Hive Products r d t s & Gifts t s TRY 3115 5 River r St., , ALVINSTON V T N OUR 519-847-5333 5333 3 MEAD!

At the age of thirteen, she has announced that she is “remodelling” her bedroom and as soon as it is finished, she will send me photos of it on her smartphone. One of Eva’s remodelling ideas is to have a great many colourful throw cushions on her bed. Her parents have complied. However, in Eva’s house there are also three dogs, two of which are large huskies, Sierra and Mey Mey. The other day, Eva spotted Sierra running off to the far reaches of the garden carrying a precious rose satin throw pillow in her jaws. Eva raced after the dog, all the time yelling at it to drop the cushion, something that Sierra clearly had no intention of doing. Nor could Eva begin to run as fast as the creature that was born to run for hours pulling a heavy Arctic sled across the frozen tundra. She could only stare in horror as her pretty decoration was wildly ripped apart and buried beneath a scraggly forsythia bush. Her mother tells me, with wicked delight, that all the while this little episode was taking place she was secretly cheering the dog on. Five will get you ten that if Eva has a daughter someday, this little moppet will be just like her grandmother. for up to Country Yarns Everything for your Knitting, Crocheting, Cross Stitch & Needlepoint Needs! - Mention this ad for a 15% discount! - 2776 LaSalle Line, Petrolia Between Mandaumin & Waterworks Rd.
