I agree that your grandkids will look look back fondly at the times you spend with them. Spending time with my grandmother was one of my favorite things to do. In fact, when I was a child, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d say “a grandmother” . . . . and, BTW, I got my wish. Sadly, only one of my grandchildren lived close enough for a geographically close relationship, my granddaughter, who, incidentally, gave me my tenth great grandchild three days ago. Happily, she lives an hour away so I can also have a close relationship with my new great grandson.

Me too. Math was never my interest. They called me a walking dictionary in elementary school and they didn’t mean it as a compliment. Anyway, hate math. You know the lyrics from “What a wonderful world this could be” — “don’t know what a slide rule’s for” — That’s me. TGIF!

I felt the same way. Tom

My quiver has many words and I enjoy giving them out to anyone who needs encouragement. I raised my children with this guidance… “What comes out your mouth is how you feel about yourself”. If that remark doesn’t get you thinking, you might need your million mile tuneup!
In 1945, we had a neighbor who was a widow who gave 10 percent of her income to her church. Doing this meant she couldn’t buy her four amazing children milk. So my mother bought her milk. We stayed friends with them thoughout our lives and they adored my mother and father.

I’m one of the fortunate ones because my parents suffered as children because one lost her mother at nine and the other his father at 12. But their loss was my gain because both made up for what they lost by loving one another and all of us kids.
Generally, we give what we got and if our parents etc didn’t provide us with the soul food we need, it’s because they didn’t get it! Failure to thrive is actually a medical diagnosis!
Over and out my friend. I’m grateful for the bounty that you spread each day. You are a genuine cornerstone of good stuff. I’m your biggest fan. Heather
