My wife and I went geocaching for several hours last weekend. On the last hunt of the day (covered bridge park near Zumbrota), we met three delightful local kids on the trail (Jeffrey, Crystal, and Cassie) and they asked to join us on the hike back to the cache.
I met and fell in love with my wife when we were both working with troubled kids at St. Joseph’s Home for Children in Minneapolis back in the early 70s. Among the various reasons I was attracted to her was her magnetism with kids: she delighted in them and they in her. And I saw it all over again on this little geocaching jaunt. The kids were just mesmerized by her. And I loved watching it unfold. I’m a lucky guy.
