j l HERALD By Hughes As I write this week the car is being packed for a quick trip to Montreal I can feel my stomach churning knowing that soon I will be saying goodbye to my daughter as she embarks on the next precious step of her We university Ive been through this twice before but it does not make it any easier this time I keep telling myself its only a 5hour drive but in my heart I know that 5 hours or 5 days makes no difference things will never be quite the same This event also brings to mind the number of clients that have come to me over the past years and told me that their homes are now too btg too empty and too hard to keep clean and heated with the event of their children now leading different lives The empty next syndrome happens to most of us Now that Im about to ex perience it first hand I know that I will remember alt those com ments vividly in the next few months However I know that I will always feel that there must be a place for each returning child a room that they can call their own in their own home and precious ties with their past So when does one really have the courage to move into something smaller Even when the kids get married there is still the need for larger family entertaining and then there are the grandchildren I find it really hard to imagine the day that smaller quarters are an option Of course things change and thats what makes life in this profession so interesting Families grow families diminish and families adjust to their situations by moving and changing their lifestyles to fit their new patterns If they there would be a lot of real estate agents without jobs However I for one will always have a room ready for returning children a cakein the oven and a welcome mat on the front door Be gentle with me when you run into me these next few weeks Im suffering like a lot of moms have in the past with the mixture of joy for the happiness of their kids but with the sorrow for the end of an era Homes Sold Creatively Hughes is

the Campbell House Gallery on Main Street when it closes down for good Having opened a year ago June 1st Janice Campbell owner and operator feels she can no longer afford to keep the Gallery running Ms Campbell receives her pain tings through other galleries directly from other artists and various representatives From the beginning Ms Campbell felt that the paintings wouldnt support the business so the gallery sells fur niture as well The idea behind the gallery was to bring in interesting and original art to draw people said Ms Campbell Unfortunately three months into the business the economy started to drop and the big ticket items stopped selling For example prices of paintings in the gallery range from as little as 48 for a print to for an original painting Ms Campbell said there has United Way plans kickoff Halton Hills residents can show their support for the local United Way by joining fellow business and community leaders for the campaign kickoff luncheon at the

the lack of business stems from the fact that a lot of people dont even know of the Gallerys existence or what is on Main Street itself for that matter People who have lived In town all their life assume they know everything Georgetown has to of fer and where it is It is the new people to town according to Ms Campbell who seek out and find the Gallery Ms Campbell also said that there is a surprising number of people who dont do their business in town For example of Georgetown residents dont buy their groceries in town She also feels that people are intimidated by the fact that there is
