(((hugs)))

Glad you're here in the daylight. Everyone looks different in the sunshine! LOL!

Glad you don't have to leave to go to ****! I am off, too--though I had better do something besides sit here all day! Ick--my house is a disaster area and I live nowhere near Rita!

Grandmas and Grandpas

1. Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown

2. What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~ Gene Perret

3. Grandmothers are just "antique" little girls. ~Author Unknown

4. Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. ~Welsh Proverb

5. Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Vidal

6. I always give my grandkids a couple of quarters when they go home. It's a bargain. ~Gene Perret

7. Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown

8. Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because Pop-pops have only so many horsey rides in them. ~Gene Perret

9. Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now, the day was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree

10. Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author Unknown

11. Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever. ~Author Unknown

12. If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first. ~Lois Wyse

13. My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after 2 or 3 hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret

14. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the heck she is. ~Ellen DeGeneres

15. My grandfather is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. ~Henry Youngman

16. If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it! ~Hannah Whithall Smith

17. It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the world calls her grandmother. ~Author Unknown

18. Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old. ~Mary H. Waldrip

19. You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. ~Proverb

20. An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret

21. If nothing is going well, call your grandmother. ~Italian Proverb

22. I don't intentionally spoil my grandkids. It's just that correcting them often takes more energy than I have left. ~Gene Perret

23. I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for self-defense. ~Gene Perret

24. Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author Unknown

25. Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

26. Grandmother - a wonderful mother with lots of practice. ~Author Unknown

27. A grandparent is old on the outside but young on the inside. ~Author Unknown

28. One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. ~Joy Hargrove

29. It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one. ~Author Unknown

30. If your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time," you're the grandma. ~Teresa Bloomingdale

31. Grandchildren don't make a man feel old; it's the knowledge that he's married to a grandmother. ~G. Norman Collie

32. Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren. ~Author Unknown

33. I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather - not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. ~Will Shriner

34. A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween. ~Erma Bombeck

35. My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me, and I decided to teach her to sew. After I had gone through a lengthy explanation of how to thread the machine, she stepped back, put her hands on her hips, and said in disbelief, "You mean you can do all that, but you can't play my Game Boy?" ~Author Unknown

36. Grandchildren: the only people who can get more out of you than the IRS. ~Gene Perret
