Just wait until you have grandchildren, Luvvy.
They will be in need of Grooming by Grandma, too!

Just two weeks ago, my 20-year old Grandson brought his new girlfriend down for the day from Columbia to meet us.
Mind you, some of his first hours and years were spent under my roof and since, growing up, and he was doing a good job with his manners and consideration toward Roxanne.

Kyle turned to her and said,"Now you know why I'm so careful with my manners and my speech - Grandmama drilled (as in 'beat'! lol) that into me!"
He was in JRROTC and performed in the special rifle and drill units in competitions, and we took him to Parris Island with us when he was 16...begged me to "SLOW DOWN, Grandmama," literally dragging, trying to keep up with me...:))

His Dad (in another state) a year ago had been in the Army when he was young, in Intelligence, and the Army called to see if he would consider going back in - and to Iraq.
Not at liberty to say specifics, but he made a HUGE, VERY HUGE important discovery a few months ago!
[no - not finding Saddam]

It is gratifying to say all three of our children (and 8 grandchildren) walk with the Lord and are patriotic to the max - - we are richly blessed.
Although the walk had all the usual setbacks and pitfalls, all are now on safe and firm ground.

Well, the Lord never said the walk would be easy, just that it would lead home!

You raised some great kids--and grandkids. I hope one day you can tell us what the HUGE, VERY HUGE discovery was! I am intrigued, but can wait till it's no secret any more. Thank him from LUV for his service to his--and our--country!
