What it means to me to be a Grandparent


I am now a grandma to 4 grandchildren … 2 girls and 2 boys, I am having trouble thinking of myself as a grandma. I never had a grandma growing up so the only images I have are of the television types and they are all old ladies in long cotton house-dresses and glasses with jiggly arms, white hair (ok, blue hair!), bent-over backs, pearl necklaces and earrings, sensible shoes, neat little hats with flowers.
I...on the other hand...love shiny things and pink stripes in my hair.. I wear funky clothes, play Pokemon go..  I have sailed to far away places...and we just bought a motorhome and we are going travel around the USA.
 My daughter is forever getting on to me about the fact that I only wear flip-flops....even when it is cold outside. I love to wear completely insensible shoes.  I love boots. I love to play games...build sand castles..I am easily entertained, I love to walk, skip and dance.
I want my grandchildren to remember LOVE, FUN and SILLY.. that is very important to me because I never had that as a child.
I do not cook, but I am thinking of learning how to bake, that  way I can make cookies, cupcakes and various good things to eat.
I never wear cotton house-dresses, sensible shoes or crooked glasses...(well sometimes my glasses are crooked) I do not want jiggly arms or snow-white hair.  I don’t.  Not yet, anyway.

The RV with a name!

Kevin from Mo's Graphics came by today with the new name for the RV...we named her Esprit....in French....Esprit means "free spirit." I think that sums it up for Pierre and I...we are real free spirits!
We also became grandparents again for the fourth time...but that does not change how special it is and how excited we are to see our new grandson Kai Orion Nauman. What a beautiful name~right. I am so proud of our daughter and our son in law..... they did good!
Selfie with Kai
What a sweet face!
