Twenty Month Old Gardner By Larry Chadwick Robbie my brother a story from 1951 Robbie was just a little guy, Living in a diaper still. Went to play in grandpa’s garden, When he took a little spill. There are those who do not know, And think that it’s a weed. But this little guy did not care, He was just helping grandpa’s need. This little guy so small, Did not need to even bend. He just reached out and pulled, As hard as he could from one end. More successful than he dreamed, The stock broke off sooner then it “oughter”. As he toppled diaper, rhubarb and all, Right into the water. September 2, 2004 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

giggling here... such a cute story!  Where is the camera at moments like this? But then those memories are still captured(within our hearts), and we cherish them |

I sure hope someone got the look on his face when that rhubarb gave way? Nice to see you writing fun family stories Larry. |

And thank you. Lori, It is wonderful to see you here and thank you dear poet. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
