Here she is after a swim in the good ole summertime!
Yesterday, I got a call from my soon to be 9 year old granddaughter, McCartney (that is my maiden name) and she wanted to tell me about her upcoming birthday PARTY! She proceeded to tell me that it was going to be a SLUMBER PARTY with 5 girlfriends in attendance. She said she was sending ME an invitation. I said," You don't want your old grandma there, do you?" She said," Oh , Mimi, yes I do.....you are so much fun and so girly girl!".........Of course, I said with delight that I would be there! How sweet was that! I realize that I had better enjoy my popularity with her now, because the TEEN YEARS are fast approaching and it will not ALWAYS be that way!
The day McCartney was born, my son came out to announce that she would have my maiden name......what a surprise and a delight! She and I have from that moment been soulmates. We look alike and we act alike and we also THINK alike! She has for as long as she was able to dial a phone, called me and we can chat forever about nothing! She is so precious to me as are ALL of my grandchildren. God is so good to BLESS us with grandchildren and I have often wished I had had THEM first! Being a grandparent is so much fun and alot less stressful than being a parent, that is for sure.
I hope the admiration is mutual and somehow I THINK it is.........<><
