There's nothing better than a summer weekend visit from our daughters and granddaughters!

Musings of a Grandmother
I'm not sure what a "grandmother" should look like or feel like. My grandmother was quite old when I was born and when I knew her. I don't feel "old." I have seen grandmothers who look quite young. I don't look quite young. I am just me (I remember saying that as a child, usually when someone was trying to decide who I looked like & I insisted I looked like me!).
The reasons for my musings? Well, first I have been a grandmother for nearly 6 years, & while I like it when Maggie, my oldest granddaughter, calls me "Grandma GG" or just "GG" I'm still getting used to being a grandmother.
Also, today as I turn 66 I wonder. What should I feel like at 66? I surely don't know. I don't feel much different from when we moved to Arcade when I was 38, though I know I am different. I look different -- my face is older, my hair is working toward gray, and I guess I can't do quite all of what I could then, or at least not as fast. But really, I just don't feel that much different. I still walk, ride my bike, go to Curves and exercise 3 times a week. I would like to exercise more, but at least I am continuing to do it. I work two jobs, both part-time, though between the two, it probably amounts to full time work.
I admit to getting "older" but certainly not be being "old." I have seen some people my age, and some even younger, who seem to be and act old. I look at them and know that I am not like that, not yet, and maybe not ever.
As long as I can keep a positive attitude, most of the time, and learn something new every day, most of the time, I don't think I'll feel "old." That is what I intend to do.
My musings will be continued on another page. See the link to A Grandmother's Musings.

It's hard to believe just how fast Maggie & Ella grow and change. When we visited at Christmas Ella was waving and smiling frequently. Maggie is being the "big sister" and is so proud of her sister. It's wonderful to see.
In February Maggie lost her first tooth.
Ella enjoys playing with toys from the box.
It's hard to believe Ella will be one at the end of this month and in May Maggie will be six! How time flies!
