ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Awe 🙂
You sound like the captive audience I need so let me tell you ….. 😀
Sigh. I make time to listen and ooh-and-aah over the latest photos. We reap what we sow. 😉
Truthfully, I don’t even carry pictures of my darlings. My friend says I’m a terrible grandmother for that reason. I win that way! No contest. 😀
lol you describe it well … I know that when my friends become grandparents they are generally lost. Grandees take number one priority and their conversation rarely varies from that topic … 😦
And we all walk away still sure that we have the best! 😀
lol exactly, nothing like personal bias 🙂
I do like the graciousness of ‘looking’ and being able to smile hopefully with understanding. But….have I told you lately about?………………… Amazing.is the room emptying or is it imagination?
if only we could on a daily basis get as excited and focussed on the Father ABOVE who gave everything so we could have a relationship with HIM. it does help us to space our days and leave a ‘bit of time’. Blessings on every grandmother/father who reads your blogs. You express the truth of life so clearly.
“Amazing.is the room emptying or is it imagination?” I’m thinking of using this topic in a Toastmaster speech. If so, I will use your line; it is a good one. 😀
LOL Oneta. My husband and I just attended the baptism of our small grandson this past weekend. There were 3 sets of great grandparents and two sets of grandparents at that gathering…along with uncles and aunts. Fortunately we were all bragging about the same child so we were all more than happy to talk and to listen!!! It truly is a blessing.
Seriously he is blessed. I always tell my little ones that I love them having other grandparents to love them. Love does not divide. I want them to meet love on every side. If they had someone who I felt “bribed” them, I wouldn’t like it. Just lap p the loving and dole out lots of it.
You can tell me about your great-grandkids any day!! I love stories of the little ones. My babies are all grown.
Really I love the FB pictures and cute things little ones say. I’m just “funning.” 😀
I know 😉
