Will bring tears to your eyes! But tears of happiness!

Okay, I've dabbed my eyes for the last time--and now I am ready to tell you about But Grandma Didn't Mind. If you had one of those grandmas, or your children are really lucky to, this is a wonderful book for you--and as a gift. Anyone born in the 1940-50 timeframe will feel like the photos and experiences are yours as you travel the day at grandmas with the little boy. But just because everyone is "dressed weird" in that era's clothing does not lessen the sentiment. The cover design of a tablecloth from that era is inviting and brings back memories of food and time around the family table. Then tablecloths were''t just for special dinners. Cookies and other favorite foods, and doing special stuff together like staying up past midnight--all are mixed with the acceptance only a grandparent can give a child. I was overjoyed to remember my own Grandma K, and saddened because my children were cheated out of such grandparent' love by Kurt and Evie's early trip to heaven. Watch for more memories in upcoming But That's OK with Grandpa, available soon. Armchair Interviews says: This book is all about memories, and if you had good memories, wonderful, but it is also a reminder for you to be that special kind of accepting grandparent in each grandchild's life.
