One of the most amazing things about being a grandmother is to hear stories about your grandchildren. I received one of those calls recently. My 3-year-old grandson had a long Saturday, lots of things happening with his parents and he was busy in activities all his own. When they drove back into their driveway at [...]
“A turkey sat on a backyard fence And he sang this sad, sad tune. Thanksgiving Day is coming, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble And I know I’ll be eaten soon. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. I would like to run away. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. I don’t like Thanksgiving Day!” Our [...]
I have always wanted to be a mother. Let me say that again. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother and now a grandmother. There is nothing that brings more joy into my life than to be with my family! Last weekend, I was able to take care of my youngest grandbaby. He was [...]
Recently, I was speaking with a friend on the phone. She has the tendency to be too hard on herself. Sometimes, she forgets that she is a good person. On this day, she was looking at the things she could not do because of being ill, not looking at the things she could and does [...]
