Short and Sweet (hopefully)

I will post again soon and not leave it so long but I just had to share with you what my granddaughter has been saying of late.


I had both of our grandchildren (well two out of the three)  this week because Sara (their mother and our elder daughter) was ill and Lily (7) said to me: "Grandma do you know that everybody has a special talent?"  And I replied yes I did know and what was my special talent?  I expected her to say that mine was sewing or reading or being a grandma but she replied "Grandma your special talent is loving!"  Boy did my heart well up.  I just thought it was the sweetest thing to say.


Last week she whispered to me - 'You know Grandma you don't look old at all but don't tell Grandpa because he does"!


Out of the mouths of babes!


So until next time ... 
 Lots of Love Patti xxx

Excellent!!! : )) I was thinking of you a hour ago and wondered where life took you and now you posted. You should stitch those lovely words from your grand-daughter.

How sweet! I used to call one of my grandmothers "old grandma" - she was the younger of my grandmothers, but she would always say, "I don't know if this old grandma can do that", so I called her Old Grandma. LOL
