Florida Memories pg.6
When Little Lee was able to get around on his own – he was always out the door, to the great outdoors. If we thought we locked the door knob, and then he tried to open the door and it did not open – he was ready to find out how I got out? At the time I was not aware of what he was doing, but now that I am older and wiser I am able to put two and two together and get four. This is what we joked about for family and friends to laugh at, how Lee stidoed us – and then find the secret to get he doors open.
After Little Lee figured how to unlock the door knob and get out we had to put a spring loader type lock about (6) inches from the top of the kitchen door. The reason for this was because Little Lee would be the first one up in the morning and out the door he would go. Our next door neighbor, Mrs. Morgan was the first house for him to go. She enjoyed his company as she was a widow and he had had that type of friendly personality that every body liked. Little Lee’s next stop would be the neighbor across the street. I can not remember their name but they were from Michigan, and were always at their home during the “season” that would be sometime from December to May. Then for the summer – back up to Michigan.
After putting the new spring-loader type opener at the top of the door. Do you think that kept Lee in the house. Heck No.! Lee would get the red high stool and put that on top of a foot rest – then he carefully climbed up. Guess he thought he was climbing a tree. Careful and quite he was . Down and out again to his friends. All I can add is – Thank You Almighty God for sending Your Guardian Angels to care for our children!
