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.
