Getting older is Better

Eliza53's picture

Who said when you are over fifty and a grandparent of a 15 year old male, a 12 and 7 year old female that you have to act like a granny nanny? I really don't want to knit them things or bake pastries all day. So as long as I have been me, I have done just that...be me.

What do I do with three grandchildren? Well we have gone paddle boating, canoeing, hiking, fishing, and we even had a few water balloon fights. (My idea!) The main purpose is to entertain the kids and to have fun yourself. Just think of all the muscles you use after a few adventures. Oh yes, I have felt muscle aches and pains but it was worth every minute. I feel more energized these days. Also I am loosing some weight...good for the heart.

So don't waste your summer sitting and watching the kids get up and play with them, laugh with them and enjoy yourself.

Smiling None of my girls' grannies are knitter/baker types, either. I fear my grandchildren will be getting just that, however, if I'm lucky enough to see them!
