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.
A very sweet blog :)
