My Brother Loren Webster

6. Loren at Six Months

Loren at six months sits on the back lawn. Mom taught me how to take care of him. I learned how to give him a bottle, burp him, feed him his baby food, and change his diapers. When our folks bought this house it was on bare land. Dad worked hard to improve the house, landscape it, fence it and plant lawns and trees. I loved to help him and learned a lot. I remember the picket fence separating the back lawn from the fruit trees. Dad asked me to stain it. We used green stain and I learned how to paint. But the stain splattered all over me. Shortly after when a Doctor examined me he asked about the green spots on me. Mom laughed and explained why.
