THANK HEAVEN FOR GRANDCHILDREN.....(Part One)

They say that all GRANDMOTHER'S are inclined to brag a bit,
and there is some truth in this I frankly must admit.

For, since I've reached the Grandma Stage and all my friends have too,
I'm simply floored by all the bragging that these Grandmother's do.

To hear them rave, you'd think for sure that all the Human Race
was fast becoming Supermen at a tremendous pace.

Yet, when I see these boys and girls, their Grandma's pride and joy,
Each one seems to me to be quite an ordinary girl or boy.

Of course, I humor them along and say, I think they're fine,
But you'd see the difference if you've ever noticed mine.

My own are so much Cuter, Smarter, Handsomer than theirs,
I can afford to humor them whenever they put on airs.

I'm really glad that I don't brag like other Grandmothers do,
I'VE SO MUCH MORE TO BRAG ABOUT IF I JUST WANTED TO!

~I may not be rich and famous but I do have Priceless Grandchildren~

Grandchildren bring such light into our hearts!

Why, they just make us want to stand up and salute!

"Our hearts go walking outside our bodies when we look at our grandchildren"

It's not just snuggling quietly, and rocking in grandma's chair...
But even her house is special because Grandma is there.

I loved my Grandparents home. Everything smelled older, worn but safe;
the food aroma had baked itself into the furniture.

....in the home my grandparents created, I find the beginnings of the love I have inherited.

I wish every frightened, lonely, sick, bewildered child in the world had grandparents to run to.

Grandmas can always be counted on to produce sweets, cookies and candies that seem to taste so much more yummy than from anyone else.

A grand child is a kind of miracle. A persuasion machine. You can try to be strict but you can never resist their smiles. You can swear you'll not give them that piece of pie, but who wouldn't give in to that toothless grin!

You can swear that you'll never buy them another teddy bear, but with a tug on your fingers, a little cuddle, a single tear and a "Please Grandma, I love you." And they can have the world!

" Upstretched arms make grandparents put off rheumatism till tomorrow"

Grandchildren are a renewal of life, a little bit of us going into the future.

Most young people today live in a world that is changing so fast around them. There are few things they can put their faith in that are solid and true.

The sights and smells of their grandparents house can be a stabilizing and important influence. Sometimes, even the most cynical young people are brought back to a revaluation of their values in the midst of these family traditions. Grandparents are the centerpieces of these memories.

Grandparents are very ambitious when it comes to their grandchildren...When a stranger inquires to their ages, they reply..."the doctor's in third grade and the rocket scientist is in the fifth grade!"

I hang out with a lot of grandmas. Their grandchildren were all born in mangers and have I.Q.'s so high they cannot be measured.

Grandmother: "Did I tell you about my grandchildren?"...Stranger: "No, and I appreciate it very much."

"No cowgirl was ever faster on the draw than a grandma pulling baby pictures out of her purse."

"If only the Ugly Duckling had a grandmama, he need never have suffered. He would have seen at once that he was swan material."

~Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation~

I loved granny's tiny back kitchen with it's roaring fire and wooden stools. I felt safe there, sitting against her knees, watching her perform her domestic chores.

I felt as if I never wanted to leave, that I could stay there cocooned for the rest of my life.

Grandparents don't see any faults in you, they are placed on the earth to love and praise you.

Grandparents always make you feel like you are the most important person in the world.

These grandparents are thrilled that another grandchild is due in July!

Grandparents are always happy to see you. It puts big smiles on their faces and on ours too!

Grandma has a way of making you think you are the greatest at
what ever you want to be!

There is always freedom at grandma's house...Mom says; "Stop running!" and grandma says; "oh, let them run, I love it!"

It has been said that..." Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild." This is true...another way of saying it is..."Grand children are the reward for not killing your children! "

You might say that this is true too...well, you just might! If I knew grandchildren would be so much fun, I would have had them first!
