Lovely Little Links
I just came back from a nice trip to visit my mother’s mother for her 86th birthday. I had a wonderful time, and it was so good to see her doing well, and to see how she and her husband (93) take care of each other. While I was there, I also visited my father’s mother, who is 90 and in an assisted living apartment in the same town.
My mom and step-dad drove me down to CT along with the girls, so the girls were able to visit with both Nanas, which was wonderful for everyone. It was really heartening for me to see my Nanas looking well, they loved seeing the girls, and the girls were reassured by seeing the Nanas I had been worried about.
So, without further ado, pics - the 4 generations of women in my mom’s family on the left, and MG with my dad’s mom on the right
If your grandparents are living, try to spend some time with them this long weekend. If they aren’t living but your children have grandparents, see if you can help solidify that grandparent-grandchild bond. It’s a special gift. If you don’t have any grandparents available, share some stories with your children, and give them a special treat. 
My girls always get ice cream at their Nani’s house!
Comments
Lovely — lovely words, lovely sentiment. I hope we can keep these delightful ladies in our lives for quite a while longer. Re: ice cream: We haven’t been to the store that sells ice cream the girls can eat, so the other day I had one fudge pop and about a 1/4 cup of coconut sorbet — in my mind, not enough to share 3 ways. But they figured it out — we cut the fudge pop in thirds (off the stick), they each had a tablespoon of sorbet, and they seemed satisfied. Creative problem solving, fabulous sharing. I was very proud of them.

A Gaggle of Girls
About Me: I'm a Mom living a busy life with my husband, 3 girls (10, 8, 5), Celiac Disease, homeschooling, Chronic Lyme Disease which acts like Fibromyalgia, 2 dogs, 1 puppy, 1 cat, and a lot of books & computers in a house up the hill from a New England beach. We eat great, homecooked, allergy safe food due to our food allergies & sensitivities. In my copious free time, I'm writing a book about dairy-free eating, plus I update our web pages, and read.
