' Wf**t
One of my children was an
explorer. He learned to walk at ten
months. From then on he was off
to explore the world. One day he
took a yardstick and went to the
t-;>rn and hit the resting cows until
they all stood up. Down the row
he went until he was discovered.
My husband’s nephew was also
too inquisitive and so he had to
wear a harness which was snapped
on a washline. Some children take
constant watching to prevent
harm.
One morning as we picked
strawberries on the hill behind our
house, my daughter-in-law rushed
up to us and said, “I can’t find
Gregie.” Those words were like a
bolt of lightening. Everyone
dropped their boxes and ran to join
the hunt.
We piled into a car and a truck
to go to the farm and offer assis
tance. When I happened to look at
our house, I saw what I could not
believe. There, over half a mile
from, home, was our two-and-a
half year-old grandson knocking
on our front door. He had - walked
in barefeet and pajamas to Visit us.
We counted our blessings that
day!
