A Tribute to Granny

We've had a really quiet, uneventful day. Mike was really dragging this morning. I think he was just worn out from last night's running all over the neighborhood.

I saw a cute thing on the email from Mother, about grandmothers, so I thought I'd do a little photo essay, for fun.

Once Upon A Time, there was a lady with two grown children but no grandchildren...

 

Then one day her daughter went to Russia, and returned with this delightful little lady...

 

Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown 

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

Grandmothers are just 'antique' little girls. ~Author Unknown 

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

A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead 
of the television.. ~Author Unknown 

Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Vidal 

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

Brown  

 
 
Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author unknown 

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

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

My grand kids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after 
two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret 

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 

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the 
world calls her grandmother. ~Author Unknown  
 
Life was good, but they needed some comic relief, and so they got this guy...

 

 

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You 
feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long 
periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~Dave Barry 

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

 


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

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

 
Here he was in Myrtle Beach, just a few weeks after coming home in 2007...

  

Here is Michael the first year he went trick or treating, in October 2007...

 
By February 2008 it was like he had always been with us...

 

 
 

July 09, with Hasty cousins...Mom, I know I'm going to catch h*** for all the photos you think don't flatter you, but my children are so blessed to have you in their lives. Just wanted to remind you they are very lucky indeed..

Love,

Dee
