There are five generations in this story. That is really great.<br /><br />Your story made me think about whether or not my grandkids have fun when they come to visit. I hope so. I just had never thought about it. The two youngest I babysit, so I guess they have no choice. I think I will have to ask them. I did buy a Wii game system for them when they are here. I think your mom would of been happy to have one when she visited her Grandma. I know I would have enjoyed one. We never had anything to do when we visited our Grandpa and Grandma. But we did have each other, and so we played games with each other. Seven kids can always find trouble. And we sure did.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-6341121973257518472009-06-05T16:44:48.002-04:002009-06-05T16:44:48.002-04:00Another delightful well written piece that feels a...Another delightful well written piece that feels as comfortable as a soft warm blanket on a cold winters night.<br /><br />I could almost see the smile on your face as you tapped away on the keys.Barlinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555629852012324360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-42146719303063853412009-06-05T10:58:09.062-04:002009-06-05T10:58:09.062-04:00Great story Leah!;)Great story Leah!;)Candiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820349874923006162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-78326020413818792352009-06-05T07:57:39.377-04:002009-06-05T07:57:39.377-04:00'Tis a fun story here, Leah.

I used to get dragged to my Nana's every Saturday too but it was fun. She had a room full of clothes and makeup and jewellery and dressups were mandatory. She and my mother would sit smoking and drinking tea while we ran amok! Good times. Tell you, I'm beginning to think the Jewish stereotype is true! I have a jewish friend who's mother insists I eat every time I go over there . .she on the other hand has to have the 'small' portion in case she gets fat.

My father, who was a Belfast Irish-Catholic, would proffer seconds of anything and everything from glasses of sherry to extra peas. If you declined, he would cajole and plead until you gave in just to shut him up! On the other hand, he was always the first to say, "You look like you might be putting on a bit of weight, K, you should start exercising." (I'm 5'4 and have never weighed more than 115 lbs.) Oy vey!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
