One interesting thing (from Mom/Janice)

I forgot to blog the one interesting thing that happened this week. As I was coming home from budget committee meeting on Monday night about 8 p.m., I noticed a toddler walking down the sidewalk all alone. There wasn't anybody anywhere. So, I stopped my car and he started to dart out into the street. I got out and got him back on the side, asked where Mama was, where his house was. I think he was too young to do much talking, but he did turn around and start walking back the way he came. I didn't want to just start knocking on doors (this is 2 blocks down from where you would turn to go to 1st avenue toward our house on that street that goes toward Holley). Anyway, I called the local police. As I was explaining the situation, a very frantic young woman came running around the corner from 1st Avenue. She was very happy and very upset at the same time. She wasn't sure whether to hug him or throttle him, but opted for the hugging. She said "He has just learned how to open the door." So he had walked at least 2 blocks along Highway 228 and was starting block 3 when I saw him. I have no idea where they live since she came from around the corner, so it could have been quit a bit further than that. Happy ending, I guess, as long as he doesn't escape again. I mentioned to her about locks that get installed high on the door.
