The last few years, she suffered with "the Altimer's" as she called it when other people had it...but she had always been such a prim and proper Southern lady, never leaving the house until she "fixed her face." It wasn't easy to get teenagers to visit her, but I'm so glad I gave them that push. They're better human beings for having spent that time with Grandma. (It was nice to visit your blog! Haven't been by in awhile--so much going on with you!) Awww, Gayle. That just about made me cry, thinking of my mother-in-law.

I think I'm a softie parent, too. Will I be a crochety old grandma like Maxine of the Hallmark cards? Or will I be all sweetness and light? Maybe it depends on the children. After all, we were wonderful kids, right? ;-) Good point, Jodi. I think I’m a softie parent, too. Will I be a crochety old grandma like Maxine of the Hallmark cards?

Does that mean as a grandparents I'll be even softer than my parents are now or will the pendulum swing back and I'll be a "tough" grandparent?
