We made 50 years in November 2012
Golden Anniversary came and went
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

To my Grandkids

A GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER

Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty or youth or such:
Just give me a little hand to hold
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.

I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs,
Just give me a little face to kiss
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?

So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, Thou hast given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

Livy and her grandparents

Life is so full of events weekly that keeping up with them is mind boggling. We had a fun experience a little over a week ago of going to grandparents day with Olivia, who is our youngest sons oldest daughter. She turned seven years old in March. She sang several songs with the first grade about grandparents and then took us back to her classroom where she gave us several pages of her artwork with a wonderful letter that told us how much she loved us. She told us that she wished we didn't have to drive so far and asked when she could sleep-over. Such sweet experiences don't come everday. It was really special.

We were invited to grandparents day also. We were suppose to come with a story of somewhere fun we had been. One grandma took about 1/2 hour taking most of the time. The rest of us had 30 seconds. Oh me, some selfish people.
