I realize I’ve not talked much about my big grand daughters,14, and 16. I hesitate to invade their privacy too much by talking about their lives. But I can tell you that they also hold very special places in my heart. I think it speaks a lot of our relationship when, at this age, they actually look forward to coming to visit with us. We’re known as the slightly strange grandparents.
As they have gotten older we have done many an art project at Gramma’s studio. We’re currently working on the world’s most ridiculous doll house for the new baby cousin. Among other strange features, it has a disco room with a purple vinyl floor. It’s completely absurd, and I let them design it and do whatever they want to it. I just provide the means and help them make it happen. It is always fun to watch them use their imaginations outrageously. And doing projects like these provides good talking time.
Here are my truly grand girls, the older grand daughters.
