First birthday
Any suggestions out there for a significant present for my first grandchild's first birthday? Do people still buy savings bonds(I already bought some books and clothes)?
When You Thought I wasn't Looking
When You Thought I Wasn't Looking
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each
other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of
your time and money to help people who had nothing,
and I learned that those who have something should
give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn' t
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up..
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasnʼt looking I learned most of
Lifeʼs lessons that I need to know to be a good and
Productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'

To Be Six Again
To Be Six Again
George was a thoughtful husband. He wanted to give his wife something special for her birthday which was coming up soon. As he sat on the edge of the bed, he watched his wife turning back and forth and looking at herself in the mirror. "Reta," he said, "What would you like for your birthday?"
His wife continued to look at herself and said, "I'd like to be six again."
George knew just what to do. On the big day, he got up early and made his wife a bowl of Fruit Loops. Then he took her to an amusement park where they rode all the rides. Five hours later, Reta's stomach felt upside down and her head was reeling. Never the less, George took her to McDonald's and bought her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Next, it was a movie with popcorn, soda and her favorite candy.
As Reta wobbled into the house that evening and flopped on the bed, George asked her, "Well, Dear, what was it like to be six again?"
Reta looked up at him. Her expression changed. She said, "I meant my dress size!"

Sunday School
Sunday School
Johnny was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.
"Well, mum, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
"When he got to the Red Sea he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and saved the Israelites."
"Now, Johnny, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his mother asked.
"Well, no, mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it."

I am so in awe of my grandkids and love being "memaw" to all of them. I have a 3 year old granddaughter, a 13 month old granddaughter, and a 10 1/2 month old granddaughter. I also am known as memaw to my daughter's 4 year old stepdaughter and my son's 4 year old stepson. I have never felt so alive as when I am with them!
Let the games begin
Help us meet this challenge, all my Grandparent friends!
In honor of our athletes, we’re launching a "Pass the Torch" challenge! Our goal is to literally, pass this virtual torch to 100,000 people on Eons over the next two weeks!

Congraduation to the grandmother who recieve a call from her grand daughter to come over and see her/him.
I was just as Happy this morning to get up and take one of my grand daughter to see her doctor. She was up and ready to go. We set there waiting and she begin to tell me about her doctor. Just a fe days agao I heard from one of my grand sons from Houston. He was just glad to talk to me and wanted to know what I was doing.
I am happy when I hear about those great grands of mine and other members of this group.
I have a eons friend who is less fortune than some of us. She wants to see her grands but family members is not letting her see them. I have been praying for her that her children and grands will come see her and let her spend time with grands. She needs all our prayers.
Thanks!!!!!!
