Round 'n About with Martha Things are gradually go- ing . back to normal. Of course my norm is nothing like your norm — I had bet- ter not discuss this in public! So, Saturday, I had a nice surprise. One of my favorite grandchildren with hubby and her two children drop- ped to for a fast two hours or so. Rush or no - I was glad to see them; Sue and Chris from Sarnia with Meaghan and "Chrissy" - he'll kill me! I haven't seen them since last Christmas and was sur- prised by how much the children had grown. After a lot of fast chatter, big Chris stayed with Walt to- watch the football game (I think) and I made a fast tour of some of Sue's favorite spots she hasn't seen in years. First 1 had to show where our old "farm" had been - all three acres of it, then on around to end up at the har- bour. The kids wanted to go swimming but their suits were at the house. Anyway, I was sprprised that so. many people were just picnick- ing. (Sunday someone said the water was REAL cold! ) After giant ice cream cones all round - just what I need- ed! - we drove to other spots '- especially the lighthouse. The Lighthouse Park is just great for the children. Besides learning about the light, they also had fun. In the bargain they got a history lesson on about everything my eyes lighted upon. They were all in- terested. They even saw our now famous "Rock and Roll Park". Such a nice setting. After a short trip around the countryside, we went home where Chris was getting anx- ious. So, they really brightened my day and now my week - just enjoying them over and over. Sue and Chris are both hard workers - ALWAYS working. Sue is a good craft- sperson who has made many people happy with her nice variety of crafts — and now she has a steady office job! Whatever their needs - they work for them. A few years ago, Sue was saying she didn't know where Meaghan got all her activity, singing, dancing, making up rhymes - to music yet! Well, I knew well enough - she came by it naturally. When her mother was about three or four, she sang and danced - made up her own songs and had them all rhyme — now what could a little girl know about. poetry? Anyway we all en- joyed her very much - but I'm sorry 1 never wrote •down any of her rhymes - but then, they all changed se fast, you couldn't remember them. Her dancing led to lessons in Highland Dancing which she kept up, I believe, all through public school or until she hurt her foot. She has many medals with her beautiful kilt to remind her of many nights at honcerts and other festivities. So this lovely girl has grown to be a busy, busy per- son - with her hands full - I would think. I hope to see her carbon copy a few years from now. I'm sure everyone will be very proud of her, too! So, you see how lucky I am. Besides Susie, I have eight more in just the one family I'd like to brag about. It is wonderful when you are spared to see these children grow up .and have their own families. I love to see the "duplicates" or op- posites to THEIR mothers and fathers - this always in- terests me. They do the same things - a generation later - a little differently - but still the same. Does that con- fuse you? FINE! So pay more attention to these little people. We are told they are brainier now and I believe it - but mainly because WE are smarter than our parents - we realize the little one can learn such a lot = if we will only take the time to teach them. THAT and television and many teaching methods help us to help these little brains retain a lot more than we ever crammed into our noggins. Apparently tiny tots have a lot of spare brain cells ready to fill. In just a very, few years these cells dry up. Some of us have trouble fill- ing those that are left to us, little knowing we had spares! So now you know you can start teaching these lit- tle guys right from the time they recognize YOU. Be sure to read your paper thoroughly. There are many good theatre plays, concerts and sales and other in- teresting happenings taking place now. Just don't be like me and forget dates! Enjoy the rain, have a good week. Love, Martha.
