My 11 year old granddaughter,Taylor started middle school this month.Last night I received a message from her on facebook that she didn't look forward to Monday.I asked why,she said she wasn't a big fan of Mondays!
They grow up faster than I did!!

Driving home from seeing A Dolphin's Tale, we set the radio to country music. I looked in the rear view mirror and both grandgirls were giving me the thumbs down.

They changed it to teen music, and their PopPop and I started head banging and air guitaring to the music. 7-year-old Kylie whispered to her sister, "Now, that is absolutely embarrassing!"

As we went thru town, dancing away, they slid down in their seats so they wouldn't be seen.

Will they look back on this one day and laugh? <:

Littlest G-daughter spent the night so we were able to sleep in a little. I heard her walking & peeking to see if we were awake. She quietly walked to our bed and I said "Good Morning". She said "PawPaw has a bone in his phrot (throat)." Husband & I tried to hold our laughter in but he really lost it. He was lying there, laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his cheeks. She said "Oh NO!! He's crying!!!"

Love 4 year olds! :~)

As I walked into the Beauty Parlor, I heard the familiar cry. She was traumatized over her hair being on the floor. It was only *tonight*! that she will finally smile. She LOVES her hair!!!

(picture about 3" cut off. it was time)

While we live in Fla., none of our children have gone to Disney (Dizzy?) World. These 2 came down with their parents for 2 wks and the *other* G-mother funded their trip down. Though our Son didn't really enjoy it (hello!!??? July 5-7 & HOT as Hades!!), they did...and that's all that matters in the end. :~)

We were in the grocery store today and Littlest One saw a man *Covered* with tattoos. He was not ugly; just had them all over his arms & legs. She was very troubled and kept pointing to him....while I was trying to shush her. Finally she said: "He should not write on his-self; only on paper!".

It was all I could do NOT to go to the man and share her thoughts. We have been instilling in her for months that she is only to write on paper!! not walls, herself, her books, etc. I will never forget this!! What a hoot! :~)

Sometimes sharing your music of the 60's with an 80's daughter is not such a good idea. A humorous look at just that!

This past few months have been rough, the last stages of dementia for Ma Katie, my children's grandmother. Oh, the loss we feel. Then the going through and sorting out memories which were so important to her and hope we distributed them to her liking.

May you never experience the sadness of dementia in any form. But for today, we just have to be thankful that Ma Katie kept us laughing. A look back at her wit and charm.

We had some drama here last week. Almost 4 yr. old G-daughter was watching a Barbie Princess movie & wearing/playing with her Moma's old necklace. I hear this screaming & she comes crying telling me she has a chain in her nose. She's hysterical so I become nearly hysterical. I look. I shine the flashlight up there. I see nothing. I call her Mom & we head to her work. On the way there, G-daughter calms down. No crying. She says "There's no medicine for noses with chains in them." I laugh & tell her 'no'. She is so calm now that I've concluded that she's swallowed it. Her Mom & the Dentist she works for conclude the same thing. I take her back home anticipating that it will work it's way out.

She can't stop saying "I have a chain in my nose". She wants to call her sister who is at school. I say 'no'. We're driving up the hill near my house, passing a lady walking her dogs, she hollers out the window: "I have a chain in my nose!". By now I'm hysterical with laughter. She eats her lunch, takes her nap, plays when she wakes up, and goes to big-brother's baseball game. Daughter texts me and says that she can see the chain shining in the sun *up her nose*!!!!

The Dr. at the ER scares G-daughter so badly that she cries buckets. He holds her, presses her nostril, tells her to "BLOW"....& out it comes...snot & all. I guarantee you that she will NEVER put anything up her nose again. :~))

Grandchildren....don't ya just love em?

Are we obsessed? My husband thinks so in his new column!
