Well, two of our Grandkids & youngest son LIVE with us, so we have
grandkids 24/7. I,ve found out I,m alot more calm & patient now that
I,m older.
You look at the world with a whole new set of eyes when you get to
watch through the eyes of your grandchildren. Things like birthdays,
Easter, Halloween, And Christmas all look a little more magical .
Its not ALL fun & games….it can stress ya a little also ! But,
for the most part it is pretty enjoyable.
Merry Christmas To All.

Merry Christmas to all. We’ll be with 5 out of eight of those beautiful Grandkids this Christmas, and we saw the three others in Hawaii at Thanksgiving. Any time spent with them is magical. Thanks for the mention and we’ll see you next summer. Tom

A grandpa friend of mine has a saying, ” the best christmas lights are those of the car’s tail lights going down the street after Christmas “.

Doug, it is funny how when as you say the grandkids that adored you at such a young age have now replaced the closeness to you with a cell phone and texting. I am willing to remember the good times, but will not bow to texting to communicate with the.

I am just an old guy that would settle for a few minutes of eye to eye contact and a decent conversation. Then they can return to their pretend world of important communication with the people that they don’t really give a rip about. We will have our last laugh when someday they end up saying I sure miss Grandpa, he was so much fun when I was little. Well guess what………..we are still fun, just look us in the eye and pretend that you give a darn about us and what goes on in the real world.

Someday you will be a grandpa too…………..
