Show Date Anyone? back From the when, way men in our family were never caretakers... of land, that is. Their heritage was the streets apart- 4 a Kim - ments of Irork. w Taking care of by Freda Aron the land meant the daily street cleaning (yes, they swept the streets daily back then) and the house. THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday. November 22, 2000 - Page 13 Neither my ter nor garbage pick up, when and if, and that was good sis- brother-in-la- w noticed. It was rather em- barrassing for the enough for our clan. The first person in our family to own his own home was family to visit this fur coated" home when all my brother-in-lawho bought a beautiful home in Long the others on the block looked so well kept. Eventually, my relatives saw the light and hired someone to care for the grounds. That heritage has gone way w, Island on a fairly moderate piece of land and the only way we knew his home from the others was the wall of weeds that overgrew r. down the line, right to my own sons. One son has the means to hire a crewr of gardeners to keep his property in the style in which it should be kept, but the other does it himself. When he had a large lot in North Carolina, fortunately the vast amount of tall, tall trees covered up most of the land, so he had no fear of not making it in HOMES and GARDENS. Now he lives in Washington in a spacious enough house but 7 The great thing about free checking from Zions Hank is all the extras that come with it.

Last week he told me his youngest daughter (who is 16) was going out on her first date alone. It had always been in groups before, so he went to the garage and got out his chain saw. "Since when did you have a chain saw and why did you need it for Shaunas date?" I should have known better. This is my child who told the doctor who wanted a urine specimen, Why, cant you pee for yourself, why do you need mine?" He still says, Who is this?" when he hears my voice on the phone. I can't figure out the humor of either of my sons. Back to Shauna and her date. Len reminded me that when they lived in North Carolina a few years ago, there was a hurricane and many of his trees were broken so he had to cut them down himself... voila... chain saw. Shauna said she would wait in her room until I greeted her date. When the bell rang, I opened the door to a very nice young boy whose eyes went up into his head when he saw me holding the chain saw. He gulped a couple of times and looked as if he was about to start back down the front steps when I said, Hi, come on in". At that moment Shauna came running down the stairs, took his hand and they dashed out the door. I called after them to be home by 11 oclock. The young man hurriedly but loudly, yelled back, YES, SIR" anJ both disappeared from the scene." Gosh, thats a lot of nerve, I told him, to scare those kids that way. Did anyone ever treat you that way? Well, probably not, but ev- ery father I ever met gave me the third degree and I wasnt very happy about it, so now why cant I get even? more way we show we havent forgotten who keeps us in business.
