Bruce has as much thrust and noise pent up inside him as a
Saturn rocket! He is all boy with shining blond hair and a big,
quick smile and dancing, mischievous eyes. At four years old he
already shies away from kissing any female except his mother!
Sad to say, he'll get over that! Like most boys he likes things that
move (his tongue makes a very loud motorl), and gadgets he can
tinker with--and books. With his 'every act he spends enough
energy to do it ten times!

have set some kind of a record
for giggling!
The first day Carolyn was there they got started saying,
"BIossomI" for some reason that nobody recalls. Why that
should have been so hilariously funny is beside the point and
unexplainable, but the word and its inevitable aftermath of
giggles ran into the thousand count that week. In fact, all the
girls had to do was look at each other for the titters to begin, the
titters became giggles, the giggles became jelly-shaking
laughter, and the laughter became shrieks which left them as
limp as cooked spaghettif
I remember that stage in myself. 'S funny though: I remember
only one instance. In my little girls musings one day it occurred
to me that "me" was a ridiculously funny word. I mentioned my
discovery to Geraldine (my sister), and we promptly went into
paroxysms of giggles. That bit of foolishness resurfaced now and
again over the years to offer diversion when we were bored.

rediscovery through my own children. 1 suppose a young mother
is much too busy and too occupied with teaching and training her

I'm sure that one of the things that makes being a
grandmother so special is having the time to enjoy the children
without the responsibility and toil. It surely is fun to spoil them,

Excessive exhaust noise points to a damaged muffler or
exhaust pipe. Hissing may be a partially-stopped exhaust
pipe or a leaking connection.
The major breedes of tire trouble are underinflation,
bruises and misalignment.
Rapid acceleration burns up gas excessively, and a car that
will give 18 mpg at 40 mph can't do better than 6 mpg in a
really fast getaway. Go slower until your car warms up, too.
If your radiator bolls over, let engine idle as you replenish
the water, to mix the cold with the hot. Otherwise, the water
you add may spurt back in your face--or crack the engine
head.
Keep your car properly oiled and greased. Engineers say,
"Compared with the trouble it avoids, oil costs nothing."
