I am a stay-at-home Grandpa.

I run Camp Grandpa during the summer with golf, fishing, swimming, arcades, bicycling, cooking and running errands.

During the school year, I run Grandpa's Infirmary as well as taxi service.

My daughter and SIL both thank me repeatedly, as my doing this allows them to both work and provide private school for my grandsons.

My wife and I shared those same duties when our kids were growing up, as we ran our own business and could cover for each other. Silly us, we should have noticed the roads and bridges nearby and realized we really did not need to work such long hours to make ends meet.

Oh, well. Gonna miss those little dudes when they get too grown-up to be with me.
