I love hearing new ways to look at the world and situations.<br />Do enjoy your new grand children. They are fun and I am sure your daughters will be wonderful mothers. Sometimes I don't agree fully with my own daughters and the grand kids, but the world is a little different now and they are growing up just fine.<br /><br />The really nice thing about grand kids is you get to play with them and then send them home. LOL Yes spoil them a little too!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing Mary with me.<br />Blessing always,<br />DebbieDebbie @ Happy Makerhttp://www.happymakernow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-37283394325328206012011-07-20T11:35:50.778-07:002011-07-20T11:35:50.778-07:00That was a very special and moving post Galen.
