I am off to see two of my grandchildren today. It is an impromptu trip because they are out of school. We are going to lunch and who knows, maybe somewhere to buy some books. I love to buy them books.
Our granddaughter’s reading level is advanced beyond her class. Her teacher encouraged her parents to buy her some books that would encourage research. I found a print on demand book about a wolf named Journey who was tagged and tracked from Oregon to California where he found his mate and his pack. She loved it and has already done a report on the book. (I know because she read the entire report to me over FaceTime. 🥰)
Our grandson is younger and he can also read well, but he does not enjoy it like his sister. He dreams of being a “YouTuber” someday 🙄 even though he is only allowed on YouTube with his parents. Tech Wiz’s both of them.
Today they are excited I am coming over. Even if we do nothing, they are excited to see me.
“Our faces will become works of art that our grandchildren will treasure.”

Best wishes, Pete.

Steve, we have one grandchild 500 miles away. Until we retired, they were all so far away. Now all but one are close.

I don’t think that’s going to happen with us. They love it where they are and we have settled in here too much to consider a change. Now, I understand how it was for my parents when my sister and I flew the coup.

Kids are so totally different aren’t they. Thank goodness some will keep buying books as adults and some will entertain us on You Tube.
