Posted - Jan 02 2008 : 11:47:31 AM As I got out of my car in a mall(yes, the first time I've gone mall shopping in YEARS!), something told me to call my ds and wish him and his girlfriend happy new year. He didn't answer, so I left a message. About 30 minutes later, as I was holding a couple of sweaters in my hand, my phone rang. I flipped the lid and cheerily said: "Happy New Year to you both, Doug!" To which he answered: "You, too, mom. And I have some good news! We're engaged!" I cried. Happy tears. Almost on my new sweaters! I'm not a crier, so I was surprised at myself. And she has the cutest three year old little girl named Ellie! I think 08 is going to be a GOOD year! If it's good for them, it's good for me! So I'll be needing advice on this 'how to be a good grandma' thing. How about it, Nancy Jo??? Mary Beth??? Calling all grannies!? :D

Posted - Jan 21 2008 : 6:07:29 PM Being a Grammie is just the all time best thing. I have two grandbabies, one is 8 months and lives 7 houses down the road and another one that is just 5 months old and lives about 15 miles from us. I have enjoyed these wee ones so much. I know you will have a wonderful time being a grandmother. These little ones are so much fun to sew for, knit for and kiss on !

Posted - Jan 21 2008 : 09:43:51 AM Being a grandma is LOTS better than being a mom! I love my kids but the grandkids are a heckuva lot more fun! I spoil them rotten then leave it to my daughter to keep them straightened out. I've told her I'm on my g-kids side so don't look to me for help...within reason of course.
Congratulations!
Winona :-)

Posted - Jan 07 2008 : 07:26:41 AM Janice, you already have all the qualifications for being a good Grandma. You earned them with your tears of happiness and joy at your Instant Grandmahood. No worries, your heart will show you the way.
I am a 5-time grandma from my DH's daughter and son, and trust me, a three-year old girl named Ellie is going to steal your heart totally. Sounds like she's going to be a lucky little girl, too.
One word ... ENJOY!
Jo

Posted - Jan 02 2008 : 12:18:05 PM Yup, Nancy Jo. She is now living in Cincinnati. But, sadly, she and her parents do not get along. And her friends are Doug's friends, so she is coming here! I told her to tell Doug that we'd give them six acres to build a house on in Irvington! :D We laughed! Country life is the worst nightmare of my poor, tech geek ds! ROFLOL!
