Celebrating Grandparents on ESN

I had to smile when I read the theme for the ESN scavengers hunt blog this week is grandparents.  I have 7 grandkids and to them I am Nonna (the Italian word for grandmother).   Sometimes it gets a little hectic when all the grands visit because 5 of them are under 6 years old.  But, we always have fun and laugh a lot.  I love the look on their faces when they have a gift for me.  They get so excited.



I always love receiving meditation books.  And the vintage Spiritual book set from Comycgyrl is perfect.  Believe me sometimes after a holiday celebration, I am in definite need of meditation.


   Another gift I would treasure is vintage glassware. I headed for Carolinablueladys's ecrater store to see what she had available.  Sure enough I found this Indiana glass Killarney relish dish. 
                                                     Perhaps the most important thing about being a grandparent is recognizing that all the grandkids are unique, and have different strenghts and interests which contribute to
the family.  I found this wall quote at Wall That Talk which sums up my take on grandparents.   I hope my grandkids will keep memories of their Nonna in their hearts for many years to come.
