Welcome To The Canteen's Online Baby Shower
for all our Grandmothers-To-Be!

Luv W -- her son David, an active duty member of the US Air Force, and his wife are expecting baby #1

Lisa Malia - 2nd grandbaby, due in August

Mountain Flower - grandbaby due in July

Laurenmarlowe - grandbaby is due at the end of January

 

I like to walk with grandma,
Her steps are short like mine.
She doesn't say "Now hurry up",
She always takes her time.

I like to walk with grandma,
Her eyes see things like mine do -
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.

Most people have to hurry,
They don't stop and see
I'm glad that God made Grandma.
Unrushed, and young like me.

~Poem by Thena Smith~

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the fullness of their grace.

We should all have one person who knows how to bless us despite the evidence, Grandmother was that person to me.

Perfect love sometimes does not come till the first grandchild.
Welsh Proverb

Uncles and aunts, and cousins, are all very well, and fathers and mothers are not to be despised; but a grandmother, at holiday time, is worth them all.
Fanny Fern

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

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

A grandma's name is little less in love than is the doting title of a mother.
William Shakespeare

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the fullness of their grace. When a man's mother holds his child in her gladden arms he is aware of the roundness of life's cycle; of the mystic harmony of life's ways.
Christopher Morley

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

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

My grandmother always used to say, “If you know your past and you know where you have to go, why do you rehearse?” I always remember this and it’s true. You have to start each day again—you can’t repeat what you did.
Marian Seldes

My Grandmother would say, "Make sure you look good. Make sure you speak well. Make sure you remain that Southern gentleman that I’ve taught you to be."
Jamie Foxx

To reform a man, you must begin with his grandmother.
Victor Hugo

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

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

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

It took me a long time to get used to the reality that my grandmother had passed away. Wherever I was, in the house, in the garden, out on the fields, her face always appeared so clearly to me.
Huynh Quang Nhuong

When trying to determine the difference between a negative and positive force, ask yourself, "How will I feel when my mother and grandmother read about this in the front page of the newspaper?"
David DeNotaris

A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.
Lois Wyse  

If you want to share any advice, ideas, or thoughts with any of our Grandmothers-To-Be, please share it on the thread.

If you want to play other games, start one and we'll all play. Thank you! Have fun everyone!

Good morning Kathy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))...only a dusting of snow yesterday, and it is very cold....officially -6, but -12 out my window. Glad my car is in a garage. Has winter reached you yet?

[Pusterfuss]

Has winter reached you yet?

Not yet. The overnight low is at 18 right now, but it was 35 yesterday, and there is zero snow cover. My little pond in the back yard is still open. We have had maybe three inches so far, usually followed by a quick warm-up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Es, for stopping with best wishes for the Grandmamas. See you sometime tomorrow. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]
