My grandson's name is Jay he dawdles here and there he's zigging-zagging every day exploring everywhere He runs in front of people they sometimes get quite cross once he even climbed a steeple to see the view from the top He interested in lots of things and when we go out shopping he looks at pets, car-parks and rings it's walking between stopping In the mall, hide and seek is the game we play he wanders off to take a peek I search for him all day I shepherd him everywhere to minimize the trauma but people often stop and stare at my origin of the former I may look like a drunk or lout but I'm not drinking, stalking although I stagger round about I'm only Jay walking Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

Kethry, I love this, it has you stamped all over it, amazing, so good. Loud applause, and cheers from me. (You know how noisy I can be, comes from having a rowdy family!) Take care Marsha I did tell you this is great didn't I? Good!! Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Don't spread this around but I can't wait to have grandchildren. I'm sure no one will read this, nah! No one will notice! This is really lovely, I enjoyed it. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Kit, Thanks, I figured if Sy could talk about feeding a grandchild I could talk about walking a grandchild. Grandchildren are a lot like pets really with a lot more affection. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
