Pennie''s Perspective Grandkids My grandson was just a little over 3 years old when my granddaughter was born. Day one home from the hospital he couldn’t stand her. He wouldn’t even be in the same room with her for 2 whole days. Every fiber in his being just wanted her gone. Almost 2 years later not a lot has changed!

Although I live 200+ miles away from my two grandkids, I try to get them for a week or so during the summer. For example, this week, I’m kidsitting my 11 and 8 year old grandkids at their house – getting them on and off the school bus, fixing dinner, helping with homework, playing with them and etc – while the parents are away on a much deserved adult only trip. There are many documented benefits to utilizing grandparents to watch grandkids.

From my Mother-in-laws perspective, the number one benefit to the great-grandkids of sending her a thank you note, is that she would continue to send them gifts. With age, sometimes comes wisdom. My Mother-in-law has long recognized the power of gratitude. She is soon to be 92 years old and uses her position as the family matriarch to teach the rest of us to be grateful. She is spunky and outspoken.

My Grandkids have grown up visiting the lake condo and love it. Owning a vacation rental has been a love-hate emotion for me. We bought a lakefront condo 10 years ago near lakes and an area known for entertainment venues, for what I thought at the time were great reasons. Why we bought. Diversify our investment holdings. We only own one home, no land, no rentals. Much of our portfolio was invested in stocks, bonds and mutual funds.

Although I saved a few of my own children’s toys over the years, when the grandkids came along, I wanted to renew my toy stock so they would have things to play with when they come. I love a bargain. Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. If you keep your head and are persistent, you can find many things you want or need, all in near perfect condition, for a fraction of the cost with NO TAXES due.

It is true that grandparents love to ‘spoil’ the grandkids (I know this because I am a grandparent). When I was a young adult, out of college and into my first years of marriage, I cringed at the thought of getting money from my parents. I felt it would give them control over me in some fashion and fiercely wanted my independence. I wanted to prove myself. I thought there would be ‘strings’ attached to the use of the money.

However, one of the presents didn’t make it via FedEx in time and I was arranging with my neighbor to pick it up and hide it on my porch in a plastic trash bag. After hanging up the phone, I went outside to put the trash bag on the patio table. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed flickering yellow at the house across the creek.
