Dianna’s Corner
“What is a Grandmother?” – Just ask any child. A Grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own, so she likes other people’s little girls.

A Grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with the boys, and they talk about fishing and tractors, and like that. Grandmothers don’t have to do anything except to be there.

They’re old so they shouldn’t play hard or run. It is enough if they drive us to the market where the “pretend horse” is, and have lots of dimes ready. Or, if they take us for walks they should slow down going past things like pretty leaves or caterpillars. They should never, ever say “Hurry Up.” Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie kid’s shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off too. It is better if they don’t typewrite or play cards except with us. They don’t have to be smart, only answer questions like-“why dogs hate cats,” and “How comes God isn’t married.” They don’t talk baby-talk like visitors do because it’s hard to understand. When they read to us they don’t skip or mind if it’s the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have one, especially if they don’t have television because Grandmas are the only grown-ups who have
got time.

My father-in-law wrote this when our kids were little so it has been a long time ago. Except for no TV, the pretend horse, and a typewriter, I would say it is still “right on.” Life spins by so fast we forget to “stop” and live life. We rush through the years, so busy providing for our family, caring for our home and everyone in it, we don’t stop to share time with those we love. So be a “Grandma” for a few hours and remember how fun it is.

Put names on those old pictures so others can later say, “that’s my Uncle Joe, or I look just like my Great-grandmother! Wouldn’t that be wonderful? We aren’t useless unless we let ourselves be. Make good use of this “free” time you are going to have.
[spacer height="20px"]
We all are adapting to becoming “Senior Citizens.” Sometimes it can be a bargain or a Senior Discount! Yeah! Movies are cheaper and don’t forget the senior beverage. Take advantage of your status, you’ve earned it.
[spacer height="20px"]
Just because we have aged-in doesn’t mean we can’t do things. Consider donating your knowledge or skills to those that don’t have them. Maybe you’re good on a computer, or enjoy knitting; share that skill. Want to keep fit, direct a water exercise class at a Senior Center. You get fit and help others do the same. Offer to walk a neighbor’s dog if they aren’t up to doing it just now. There’s always something that needs to be done. Do it!
[spacer height="20px"]
Never give up! Even just talking to someone can make their day and yours a little bit better. Reach out and share today, tomorrow, and?
