They're baby sitting other kids. And we never took on the brood next door. We figured we were too old to start over. :-)<br /><br />But since another one is coming [soon] next door, we'll be doing more of it.... This spring/summer. Oh well.... :-) <br />It all does make for memories.<br /><br />We were just yesterday, reminisssing over such memories, with our oldest Grand, who is now 18. She started coming here, when she was 1 1/2 and they moved back to town. Lots and lots of memories. :-)<br /><br />Gentle hugs....Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-26486794825371484412010-03-31T20:32:04.532-07:002010-03-31T20:32:04.532-07:00Stop whining; you know you love 'em to death! ...Stop whining; you know you love 'em to death! And you know you love sending them home all sugared up for Mom and Dad to figure out how the heck they'll get them to sleep, LOL! Fun , Fun, Fun! It's a Mom's passive-agressive right to wind up the kids before she sends them home. Kind of a Mom revenge...LOL! I'm still working on convincing GP he's not God and that the sun does not rise and set on his whim. "Gee, thanks Mom!" is all I can say...hahaha! But he does so love being spoiled rotten and the Grandparents and I am grateful that he will forever think that grandma is so much better than Mom. Ignorance is bliss, hahaha! I knind of wonder what grandma does with my Mom when when she's with GP. That is definitely NOT the same woman that raised me!

I've been caring for one, then two, since they both were a month old. At the age of 56 I never dreamt I'd be doing this now but I wouldn't have it any other way. This time around, I have the sense and hindsight to stop to smell the roses. Maybe that's the blessing of grandkids...we were so busy raising their parents we hardly ever had a moment to catch our breath. Well, now I have all the time in the world, and I savor every second of it.

We were at Books A Million a month or so ago and started looking at soap making books and I was started to get cold feet because the majority of them made it look like a rather difficult process. I need an easy 1, 2, 3, step book...you know...the kind with pictures. ~wink~ So, I will definitely check out the things you shared.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-67525622205833279802010-03-30T18:37:36.411-07:002010-03-30T18:37:36.411-07:00I envy you all of that grandchild time because our...I envy you all of that grandchild time because ours live a few states away.

It is sort of like an unbleached linen, but with thicker threads. It is the same color as burlap but is a much softer and finer weave than burlap. I do admit that the pictures (which are larger than real life) make it look like burlap. :-)GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-88748208837829112152010-03-30T15:27:15.398-07:002010-03-30T15:27:15.398-07:00Hey Granny...
