The Acton Free Press Wednesday March 25 Plants for grandmothers at meeting of Dublin WI By Wendy Thomson I don t really look for things to go wrong when away but When they do I not surprised I just think Oh well here we go a gun When caught the clock plane to Detroit on Friday I drove him and took David along since he have to go to kindergarten till the afternoon thought it would be a bit of a treat for himto see the jet load up and take off We saw Gord through the gate then trotted back to the observation deck Of course there was a 10 cent turnstile and of course I didn t have any money However noone was looking the fence wasn t that high and in a very short time David and I were hanging over the rail trying not to look guilty Much to our disappointment though we were on the wrong deck and could see only the tall of the plane as it swung around to taxi away We waved anyhow The rest of Friday passed uneventfully but Saturday afternoon the real fun began I had been trying to get

hall dragging the brand new pair of hose I d laid out on the bed Close on her heels was one of the kittens gleefully going by pauses and pounces on the trailing stocking feet Scratch one pair of hose
