Too Much Time

I have been a full-time mother for 20 years. Now, that our youngest has gone off to college, I have more time on my hands than I know what to do with. I’ve been pestering my husband to either take me on a vacation or renovate the house with me or whatever just so that I have something to do. He always said that he didn’t have the time because of his numerous architectural projects.

Frustrated, I took on a project of my own. I’ve always liked screen houses and wanted to have one built in our backyard. But since, my husband didn’t have the time to go about it, I did. I bought some supplies like screen, nails and some pre-cut wood and armed with a hammer, I turned our open patio into a screened one. I finished my project just in time for one of my husband’s business meetings at home. Apparently, one of his colleagues complimented him on his handiwork with the screened patio and his ability to still make time for the home despite the many projects. Of course, he accepted the compliment graciously but never let me do any renovations in our home alone again. Fine with me and I am saying this with a great big smile.

When choosing the tent to bring to your camping trip, your basic concern is the kind of protection that it can give. So, you choose tents that are completely covered as much as possible to shield against wind and rain. Problem is that these tents can be too confining. Little mesh windows provide ventilation; but you wish the windows were bigger so more air can flow in. Solid walls also prevent you from enjoying the beauty of nature.

A screen tent will be a great addition to your camping trip equipment. In fine weather it can be set up to shield from sun and rain while allowing cool breeze to flow in. A Eureka screen tent will have other uses. It will protect against pesky bugs and other insects. It can be used as a shield against flies when set up over the table where food is being prepared.
