CASTLEGAR NEWS, Friday, August 6, 1976 ‘Grandchildren — = Joys & Terrors [Ke most grandparents, if they are honest, we are delighted to see our grand- children arrive, and over- foyed to see them depart, Started off this year's summer vacation with a Visit from our two grandbabies and their mum. When they left, my wife and I went straight into a rest home for 8 few days, to recuperate, It's not that they are bad little boys, It's just that they are little boys, with voraci- ous appetites for everything from mother's milk to peanut-butter-and-jam sand- wiches dipped in fruit yoghurt to rides to the car ‘wash to going to the beach td picking strawberries to being told stories to crawling around in the grass being + bitten by ants. None of those activities creates any real problem, but this time, the Lord, moving in His usual mysteri- ous ways, decreed that it should rain hard, day and night, for the first three days of thelr visit, Well, that eliminated the beach, crawling in the grass, picking strawberries and going for picnics in the park: all the things that little city boys, who live in a square box onthe ninth floor, should do when they go to visit their Grandparents in a small town, And with all that rain, there wasn't a lot of point in going to the car wash, an experience full of joy and terror, the supreme moment. ofhis visits for young Pokey.

Tenjoyed every minute of it — when they were both having their afternoon nap, «which almost never hap- pened simultaneously. Pokey and I are still the best of buddies, which is great but can be a little trying. It's wonderful to fee! the trust as the tiny, tough hand clutches yours, or you get a big hug and kiss for nothing. But the other side of the coin is when he won't let any- body but “My Gran-dat” put. on his socks and shoes or pull up his pants after a “hig pee” or get him second, third and fourth helpings when he wants “more beans.” We did get away from the women and children for one idyllic hour when it was merely drizzling, and drove Bill Smiley through the | park, down the main drag to the dock, and there got out and looked at the big boats and the little boats, and saw’a real train and some real railroad tracks, But three anda halfdaysof solid rain, with two lively, vociferous kids, 24 years and five months, is about as restfulastryingtorelaxina . boiler factory. T'm just getting to know my second grandson, who labors, or delights, as his mother would say, under the name of Balind. It's a made- up name that sounds nice, so his mother says. I call him Young Bill. In a crafty stroke with inherit- ance in mind, no doubt, he was given the plebean second name of William. As it turns out, and as my daughter didn't know, it's right in the family, on both sides. He’s named not only for me, but for his great- great-grandfather, William Thomson, on my side, and for his great-great-great-great grand father, William Bull, on my wife's side. Both were good men, and pioneers. Wil jomson. was slide-master at Calumet. Island, in the Ottawa River, in the lumbering days. William Bull was the settler at Colpoys Bay on the Bruce Peninsula, a “fine man, well educated” who was the first Indian Agent in that area, So, Young Bill it’s going to be for me, just as Nikov Chen is Pokey, for me. Young Bill life asa bawler, a fat little guy who looked like Winston Churchill and screamed like the Witch of Endor. In five months, he has improved tremendously. He has lost three chins and now has only one extra one. He Mae an endearing lop-sided right eyes, and a Paclighttia chortle. T I think we'll keep him, after all. Well, just to add to the excitement, the kids’ great- grandfather made the trip across country to see his second great-grandson, He got a royal welcome from Pokey, who pointed at him, yelled “Dat's my great- grandat," gave him an * unsolicited hug and kiss, and from Young Bill, who gave him a drooling grin.
