G'parents day
Happy Grandparents Day to anyone out there who has the great good fortune to be a grandparent. I still cringe at the word because of connotations of white hair and old age, but then I remind myself that one needs only to be 40 to achieve this pinnacle. I have to acknowledge that it's mysterious and wonderful when one's children have children and that those children2 are simply the best. So if you have or are a grandparent, tell the other side of the equation how much you love them and how much fun it is. Sure these days are greeting card company constructs, but they're also nice opportunities to be more vocal in our appreciation of each other than we might otherwise allow ourselves to be. Enjoy the day!

Grandparents day! What will they come up with next? Pet goldfishes' day? I guess there aren't enough great grandparents to make it economically worth while. That's the cynic in me. As a granddad I guess it's nice as a little reminder. I have Katy and Lara, and yes they're the best grandkids in the world, wish I could post you a couple of pics of them. [And forget the forty bit, I got to 67 before I became one!]

I'd love to see the pictures of Lara and Katy. One of these days we should be daring and exchange "real" email addresses and then I could show you Avery and Sophie, too.

No way you're 67! You write and sound like someone half that old but with all the wisdom.

Lucky Lara and Katy!!

Sure I'd love to see some of your pics. I guess it's safe to put my address here, ligneus@gmail.com.

I'm glad I don't sound that old, I don't feel that old either! Not sure about the wisdom bit, though I do have doubts sometimes [believe it or not!] and they say that's the beginning of wisdom so maybe there's hope for me.
