Granddaughters are so much fun………but they can also be exhausting. My memories of being 11 & 14 are so different. There was no computer, TV <yeah……I’m OLD>, no cell phone and certainly not the running that they like to do. What happened to riding a bike, reading, etc, They came equipped with their own lap top puter, 2 cell phones and a couple of books. I figure nobody in the family will ever read this so I’m safe <fingers crossed> BUT the one has a boyfriend. He calls every night!!! I mean EVERY night. They talk about who knows what! Hmmmmmm my hubby didn’t call every night when we were engaged!!! lol These kids are going to be high maintenance.
But then they go to a school that costs more per year than my entire college education. Unbelieveable!!!
We did get our travel documents for the cruise. Now to get hubby thru his physical therapy and walking!
Along with all of the necessities is a little paper that says I’m mobile, but not very. Seems to say it all. Now to figure out what shore excursions we’d like. Obviously sky diving is out. Opps……I never liked heights anyway. Not much missing there.
Perhaps I should have thought about what a classmate called….. http://hellifiknow.ca/. It seems so fitting. Or perhaps I should just not ramble like others I know. http://www.sliloh.com/blog/ Or the best idea yet??? Just go make dinner so I can go to another granddaughters T-Ball game!!!

Even my kids childhood was hugely different than mine, but when you start getting into the grandkids, you’re talking light years
The cruise will be wonderful I’m sure and I don’t think you’ll be missing anything by not sky diving

Ah yes! I have the same experience with my older grandchildren (15 and 12). The younger ones still play hopscotch and jacks and draw with chalk on the sidewalk and even make head wreaths with dandelions. I’m sure that will change.
Have a happy cruise!

One set of grandkids are back home now, but we hear that the next set are coming in a month. This will be BOYS! Talk about totally different.
