grandparents

Becoming a grandparent makes getting older something to look forward to - all the fun of parenting, without the hassle.

"Grandma, why can she not stand in line"
Usually, many parents look at the academic knowledge of their children, but the upbringing of their children seems to be more important than academic knowledge. While academic knowledge can be improved with care, upbringing starts with the little things in life. Good quality can affect the child's interpersonal relationships, attitude, etc., and determine the child's character, along with the child's life.

Senior Care for Dementia
Senior dementia care can rapidly address, manage and improve the quality of life not only for the sufferer of this condition but also for family members and loved ones involved in their care. Because this illness occurs in multiple forms and affects each person differently, it's important to understand that senior dementia care must be individualized in its approach to managing care and support of patients and their families. Knowing exactly what senior care can do for your loved one afflicted with dementia is critical to make the right choices for your family.

Oh, those beautiful, family keepsakes. How many of us were “gifted” these precious bits of memorabilia that was intended to be passed down to family members through generations yet to come?

The difference between the old man and mom and dad when picking up the baby
Soon after the start of the new semester, every day when picking up and dropping off children, I found an interesting phenomenon in front of the school.

Camping At The Gravel Pit Down The Road
The ride off the main road to the gravel pit is about 8 miles long. Slow going too as there were bird hunters walking and parked on the road that isn't wide enough for everyone!

My dad rode along with me to pick out and pick up my first pet as an adult. I had just graduated college and signed a lease to live in my first apartment off campus. I was thrilled, terrified, excited, ecstatic... You name it, I felt it all. I decided that I wanted a furry companion to travel with me through this new phase of my life. Weeks prior, I had scoured the spotty internet looking for something to jump out at me. Something that said: "Bri, this is EXACTLY what you need in your life!" To my surprise, I found it on Craigslist. The ad showed 7 white puppies in Cleveland, Ohio. Six of the puppies were girls and also had a bunch of tiny black spots all over them. But, one, the boy, was completely white. They called him Casper. I was the first to call and the first to schedule a time to look, so I got the pick of the litter.

My Family’s Funniest Physical Comedy Moments
It started when I was REALLY young. Perhaps at age four or five years old. I fell out of bed and hurt my shoulder. I’m not sure how that even happened and I don’t recall how painful it actually was.

Dear Grandma. I Miss You.
Dear Grandma Yesterday we went for a walk. It was warm but not summer warm, though that's ok because Summer has almost ended. The sky was blue, though it appeared dark and cloudy in my perception. The birds were singing, but I couldn't hear them, and there were a few coloured flowers still in bloom, they appeared to wilt right before my eyes.

Does Any of This Ever Make “Sense?”
I remember vividly the day in kindergarten, (1971?) I looked up a classmate’s dress. We were all sitting “Indian style” on the big carpet in the corner of our classroom, in a circle for show and tell.
