Wed., February 14,1979—THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Hobbies of the pastBy MARY LEE WILLMAN Since I brought up the subject of hobbies last week my husband insisted I be absolutely truthful. 1 have had a few hobbies in the past. My family begged me to give up gourmet cooking after mv special spaghetti sauce ate holes in the bottom of our heavy duty chicken frier. I discontinued knitting after about a year. No matter what item I started to make it always turned out to be a muffler. We are still waiting for my last oil painting to dry. I finished it several years ago. The interior decorating was going along pretty well untiFL painted the bathroom fire engine red. It didn’t get repainted until my daughter had a fit of bravery during her recent Christmas vacation and painted it a pale shade of beige-pink. I'll never understand how she managed to do it without sunglasses. I must admit it's rather nice to no longer hear people screaming in the bathroom. Old fashioned candle making was discontinued after the melting tallow caught fire and we had to repaint the kitchen. Sewing lasted a long time — compared to most of nn hobbies. I did become rather discouraged over a pair of slacks I made for my daughter. She cried and refused to leave the house because the slacks caused her to look like she was riding a horse. 1 became absolutely enchanted with my son's chemistry set. He wouldn't let me past the door of his room while he was mixing and stirring the strange smelling and bubbling stuff. I decided if he could do it (he was 11 years old) so could I. The next time I ran out of dishwashing compound for the automatic dishwasher I decided to mix my own. 1 remembered (vaguely) reading in a household hints column that it could be done. Things started off fine. But after a couple of minutes of swishing around in the dishwasher it sort of blew up. Didn't really hurt anything but my feelings. 1 took up photography this past fall. I decided to drop it as a hobby after less than a week. My husband and I took a vacation trip to Southern Indiana in October when the leaves were pretty. Guess no one thought 1 would have any problems with a nifty little camera that easily fits in a shirt pocket. Both sides of that camera looked an awful lot alike. Out of three rolls of film we had two or three pictures of the fall colors. The rest were close-ups (very close-ups) of a large, intense looking eyeball. Nuff said. '
