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 two beauties
