The Princess and The Papa

Written by: AmyDoodle, on 1/28/2010

My Dad is a tough guy. He wears Black and Decker underwear and buys pallets of toilet paper from the Army-Navy store. He watches sports on television every Sunday afternoon, even if it’s only putt-putt season, and turns the sound all the way down so that the sportscasting guys don’t ruin a beautiful play with color drivel.

He can estimate distance to an eighteenth of an inch and can tell whether a picture is half a bubble off plumb just by squeezing one eye shut and looking through his thumb. He survived the Depression on beans and biscuits; World War II on courage and luck; and 48 years of marriage on Divine Providence and guesswork. He taught four children to drive without suffering permanent neurological damage, made us wear more clothes when we were cold, and refused ... Read More

"Just Right" Snowy Memories

“Just Right” Snowy Memories


Well, the holidays are over – along with LOTS of time together with our 3 little grandkids! My heart smiles along with my lips when I see them come through the door, full of delight to be visiting – like energizer bunnies for my spirit!

We baked and decorated cookies, put together a gingerbread train, had sleepovers, roasted hot dogs in the fireplace, and oohed and aahed together over animated, lighted, musical, and plain Christmas decorations. Ours is a mixed-faith household, so Christmas for us usually has the added joys of lighting Hanukkah candles, as the days of the celebrations often overlap. This year, with the 8 days of Hanukkah in mid-December, the fun went on for nearly a month!

As I recall, there was a time... Read More

Questions & Stories about Grandparents

Spring

Posted by: justcallmemom, on 3/9/2010

Today as I drove home from babysitting my granddaughter, the sun was shining so brightly and giving off a feeling of warmth and even better - a promise of Spring. After what seems like an endless winter here in southeastern Pennsylvania, this warmer weather is like a gift, and I unwrap it with great glee. I roll down my window, turn up the classic rock on the radio and drive home rocking out to Creedence - and yep, that includes singing too! Sure, the air is still a little nippy and there is still snow in some places, but it is a glorious day and it makes me
feel young again - so I revel in this day, in this sunny, beautiful day, so welcome, so needed! Those who
live in places with little climate change maybe have trouble understanding how wonderful the coming of Spring is - whe... Read More

Firsts

Posted by: justcallmemom, on 2/16/2010

As parents we were always recording "firsts" - first word, first step, first haircut, first solid food,first time they slept through the night, first day of school,first trip, etc. As a grandparent I am thrilled to hear about all the "firsts" of my grandchildren, but find I concentrate more on moments, rather than firsts.
I recently enjoyed some very special "moments"
with two of my grandchildren, Little 5 month old Amelia who is such a sweetie and snuggle bug and 21 month old Garrison, who is all boy, loves whales and is just adorable. They live 8 hours from me, so my time with them is limited - never enough moments.
The end of January I flew out and stayed a week, and the time went way too fast, but I will treasure that time and all the moments and hours we spent toge... Read More
