That’s a Stretch
My name is Pat Carew from Witless Bay. I am 88 plus 10 months. I have five girls & boys. My oldest girl is 68. I was laying on my couch one Sunday morning in June. I was listening to the radio and I dosed to sleep and when I woke and stretched my little girl was looking at me. I said, "I'd stretch to Tors Cove now only for the trouble of walking back." And she looked at me and said, "Daddy you could come back on the bus." I am after telling it some often but I never wrote it before. After 70 years I finally did, it may be worth printing. Thank you.
