Welcome to page 2. . .I hope you enjoy!
You know a grandmother is a goner on her grandchild when she:
~ Nurses every sniffle as if it were life-threatening...
~ Frames all outstanding report cards...
~ Swears that "Goodnight Moon" is her favorite book.
A grandma is someone
Who's dear in every way.
Her smile is like the sunshine
That brightens each new day.
A grandma is someone
Who plays a special part
In all the treasured memories
We hold within our heart.
"Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love." ~Grandma Jan~
"Grandparents somehow sprinkle a sense of stardust over grandchildren." ~Alex Haley~
GRANDPARENTS
Few can bring the warmth
We can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love
Than the smile on their face.
They've a supply of precious stories,
Yet they've time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh,
They grow more precious through the years.
I believe that God sent us Grandparents
As our legacy from above
To share the moments of our life
As extra measures of His love.

"To show a child what has once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own, so that there is now a double delight seen in the glow of trust and affection, this is happiness." ~J.B. Priestley
"Grandmothers and grandchildren have a lot in common. They are inclined to straggle behind on walks. They doze off at unexpected moments. They like fancy cakes. They are very fond of cats and know how to talk to them. They are given to falling over. They get the giggles." ~Pam Brown~
GRANDMOTHER'S
TALENT
A grandmother has a special talent ~
She always knows just what to do
To make her grandchildren happy
And to show she loves them, too.
At the family get-togethers
She's the first person to look for ~
She can entertain small children for hours
And they always keep asking for more.
You can tell when a grandmother's teasing
By the twinkle that shines in her eyes ~
She's an expert at settling problems
For she's loving, patient, and wise.
Her grandchildren always admire her,
Even when they are grown ~
They always feel proud and happy
To claim Grandmother as their own.
~ Mary Dawson Hughes ~
hen we run out of ideas, when we run out of steam, when we run out of hope ~ who has ideas and steam and hope to spare? Grandma! ~Pam Brown
"The purpose of discipline is self-descipline, and its best source is the full-time hovering presence of a grandmother. Grandmothers don't spoil children; tired parents do. ~Florence King
"Grandparents
are meant for kisses and hugs,
For watching rainbows and catching bugs.
For baking all of your favorite things,
For books to read and songs to sing."
Upstretched arms make grandmas put off rheumatism 'til tomorrow.
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.

"Surely, two of the most satisfying experiences in life must be those of being a grandchild or a grandparent." ~Donald A. Norberg~
Someone in one of the on-line groups I'm involved with posted this on our message board and it made me chuckle, so I thought I'd close up the second page here on the light side with:

Grandma's Gone Computer ~
In the not too distant past --
I remember very well--
Grandmas tended to their knitting,
and their cookies were just swell.
They were always at the ready,
when you needed some advice.
And their sewing (I can tell you)
was available--and nice.
Well, Grandma's not deserted you,
she dearly loves you still..
You just won't find her cooking,
but she's right there at the till.
She thinks about you daily--
you haven't been forsook.
Your photos are quite handy,
in the Pentium notebook.
She scans your art work now though,
and combines it with cool sounds,
to make electronic greetings.
She prints pictures by the pound.
She's right there when you need her,
you really aren't alone,
She's out now with her "'puter pals,"
but she took her new cell phone.
You can also leave a message
on her answering machine;
or page her at the fun meet;
She's been there since eight fifteen.
Yes, the world's a very different place,
there is no doubt of that.
So "E" her from her web page,
or join her in a chat.
She's joined the electronic age,
and it really seems to suit her.
So don't expect the same old gal,
cause Grandma's gone "Computer"
