Thirteen Reasons We LOVE Grandma's Visits
1. She brings a carload of food, when my frig inventory consists of ketchup and expired cottage cheese.
2. She teaches the kids to make deviled eggs and potato salad and strawberry shortcake.
3. She gets them to peel potatoes and taste vinegar (hehehehe).
4. She brings an ICE CREAM MAKER and does the deed.
5. She completely entertains Curt and Deena while I run errands by myself!
6. My errands last for at least two hours.
7. She brings goodies galore, so we're always wondering what's in the next bag.
8. She hobbles all the way down to the lakeshore so we can all enjoy a boat ride.
9. She doesn't tell us to slow down when hubby guns the motor and starts whipping the kids in the tube.
10. She insists on a hello hug and a good-bye hug, even if they both happen on the good-bye.
11. She makes the kids happy and amiable for a WHOLE DAY.
12. She gives my dog desperately-needed attention.
13. And she comes back.

WOW, and I thought they were just putting up with me.... I could tell you at least 13 reasons why I loved the visit! Not the least of which was the hello hugs that came with the bye bye ones (because their arms were quickly filled with sacks of "stuff" and the ice cream maker when I first arrived). I expect THEM to make the ice cream next time. Gotta luv 'em. (((((HUGS)))) Grandma Jean

My mom could be the Bill Gates of geriatric entrepreneurship.
I don't think so - we're keeping our monopoly;)

We always love it when Gram comes to visit.
Gram's are the best.

Beautiful! She's the kind of grandma, I hope to be one day. My mom's too elderly but when she sees my girls, she radiates love. :) Still, can't help but smile as I read. I loved your post! I wish I had a grandma like that. (I never had grandparents)
