I saw this in the paper. I told a friend ever older than I am---way older. and she said , 'so true so true' as she was getting ready to go on a cruise.
In the dim and distant past when life's tempo wasn't so fast,
Gramma used to rock and knit, crochet, tat and baby sit.
When the kids were in a jam, they could always count on Gram.
but today she's in the gym-exercising to keep slim.
She's checking the web or surfing the net.
Sending some E-mail or placing a bet.
Nothing seems to stop or block her,
Now that Gramma's off the rocker.
I know-Iknow---we still do all the other too. whew!!

Well, I can't wait to play with my grandkids. (they are coming tomorrow and staying for a two week visit) and while they are here Grammy and Grandpa are gonna renew their wedding vows. We were young parents and are young grandparents I guess but I want to run and play with them so they will remember that I did things with them besides sit and rock. I do love sewing and handwork though and maybe I will get the opportunity to teach them those things.

My grandma used to run and play with me and my older brother. She'd fill up dishwashing liquid bottles and that was our squirt guns. When I was young she had a bad bout with diabetes. She had to have her toes cut off and was a blessing from God that she didn't lose her leg too. My brother and I are the only of her grandkids that remember her when she was "off her rocker", lol. She was a cool grandma for way back then I must say. Even after she got sick, she was still an awesome grandma. I miss her terribly and think of her often.
