most commonly held by people with no grandchildren.

Grandparents are the family’s strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, grandparents keep a family close at heart. ~author unknown

  • What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I’d like to say that grandparents are God’s gifts to children. And if they can but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill Cosby

Poems About Grandma

I love walking with Grandma!

GRANDMOTHER

Grandmother you are like a patchwork quilt
So cozy and warm.
Just the smell of coffee
Reminds me of your wisdom and charm.

I know I can always come to you
When lost or alone.
For you always comfort me
And make me feel at home.

You are the silver lining of a cloudy day.
And I know whom can trust
when clouds blow my way.
Grandmother, your hugs and kisses
Will be stored in my heart each day.

~Author Unknown~

GRANDMA

Ever since the day I was born.
You have nurtured me with love and kindness.
You have been someone I can believe in,
And someone I can depend upon.
In this world I am just staring to understand.
And it’s important to me that you know
How grateful that I am,
For all that you give to me,
For all that you teach me,
And for the strength I will always have,
Because of you, grandma.

~Author Unknown~

WHAT ARE GRANDMAS FOR?

Grandmas are for stories
about things of long ago.
Grandmas are for caring
about all the things you know…
Grandmas are for rocking you
and singing you to sleep,
Grandmas are for giving you
nice memories to keep…
Grandmas are for knowing
all the things you’re dreaming of…
But, most importantly of all,
grandmas are for love.

Mother doesn’t want a Dog for Mother’s Day – very funny poem

Mother Doesn’t Want a Dog for Mother’s Day   by Judith Viorst

Mother doesn’t want a dog. 

Mother says they smell, 

And never sit when you say sit, 

Or even when you yell. 

And when you come home late at night 

And there is ice and snow,

You have to go back out because

the dumb dog has to go. 

Mother doesn’t want a dog. 

Mother says they shed, 

And always let the strangers in 

And bark at friends instead,

And do disgraceful things on rugs, 

And track mud on the floor, 

And flop upon your bed at night 

And snore their doggy snore. 

Mother doesn’t want a dog. 

She’s making a mistake. 

Because, more than a dog, 

I think She will not want this snake.

Mother’s Day Reflection 2013

Mom is Wow

~ Mother’s Day Reflection

When is Mother’s Day 2013?

**
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 12, 2013

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April or May. It complements Father’s Day, a similar celebration honoring fathers.

Mother’s Day is an American invention. It is not directly descended from the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the ChristianMothering Sunday celebration.^[1][2][3][4] Despite this, in some countries Mother’s Day has become synonymous with these older traditions. ~ wikipedia

Spoiling My Grandkids

I am a new Grandparent.

Always thought I would be a wonderful Grandparent and enjoy spoiling my Grandkids.

I believe it’s our right to spoil our Grandkids.

Grandparents seem to have an innate desire to protect, love and spoil.

Spoiling Grandchildren is as natural as breathing.

It’s beyond our control!

But, how am I going to compete with this?

Grandparents Steve and Jeri Wakefield of Dallas

wanted to give their two grandsons the treehouse of their dreams.

And they did!

It’s one thing to be spoiled and another to be spoiled rotten! 

That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

My attempt above.

Hope my grandkids never google ~ best tree forts!!!!

‘You don’t spoil your grandchildren do you? A:’Not this morning, I haven’t seen them yet.’

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance.  They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.  And, most importantly, cookies.  ~Rudolph Giuliani

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

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.  ~Ogden Nash
