We spoiled our children and we apparently are even more intent on doing so with our grandchildren! My parents were somewhat more interactive with their grandchildren (my kids). They provided Christmas and birthday toys and on occasion provided direct financial aid. Why are we spending more on our grandchildren?

When she saw that her great-grandchildren were not writing thank you notes for her gifts to them, she sent their parents a set of Thank you note cards with envelopes and postage! So, great-grandma was wise in helping her grandchildren and great-grandchildren learn how to express gratitude. She is spunky and outspoken.

Occasionally, hubby and I have discussed digging a well, building an outhouse and putting in another wood stove and I have on rare occasion considered buying a generator. Write down my life experiences on economic downturns for the future benefit of my grandchildren. Most likely that is as far as I will go.

I know that you have written on several occasions about what cell phone service you use but I have searched and searched and cannot find any of your posts about it. In families with just a few cousins/grandchildren, I can see it working out, but not with 17 cousins/grandchildren.

What memories do you hope your children will share with others present on that sad occasion? Your legacy isn’t something that can be organized in your later years, although your grandchildren may benefit from your influence when you are older. The best place to start is at the end of your journey.

You could run up to New Hampshire to get a ticket (which I did on occasion, because it really wasn’t very far from where I lived), but I still never won more than $5. I will make sure that my grandchildren have a college fund that is untouchable until then or until 30 if they don’t go to college (that’s right - 30 ).
