My grandsonn Jack just left. He has been in town visiting my husband and I for a week. It was wild and wooly, a flurry of activity, but now that he is gone, I miss him already.

I always learn a lot when my grandkids come to visist. What I mainly learn is how behind the times I am. Since it was raining, we spent the majority of our time in the malls looking for used psp? and game boy games. We also had to have a certain kind of shoe that I had never heard of.

Lucky for me that I am "semi" computer literate. I was able to search on line and find the nearest stores. Google Earth was a life saver. He was most impressed that I knew how to google!

Spent a lot of time talking, playing games and enjoying the olymics. I tell you the truth. Grandkids are the best! I love every minute. I wouldn't change a thing!

How old is Jack? I'm gonna guess, a young teen?

Jack is 9 but feels almost like a teenager. I can't get over all his interests - especially computer wise - games wise etc. I can see I'm going to have to do a lot of homework to keep up!

Isn't grandkid withdrawal the worst?
My seven are heading back to school this morning, August 25th. I already miss the possibilities of going and getting them on the fly. They truly are God's best gift to grandparents....

savvy, that's okay. Keep up. It's what keeps us young.

Couldn't agree more! Who would have thought it - what an unexpected blessing in this time of life. I love it!

Absolutely - they are the best! Have a great holiday!
