WONDERFUL MEMORIES..... I don't know if you have had the experience yet, of having your first grandchild......it's really quite impossible to describe!

After several years of trying to have children, our oldest daughter, Cindy, gave us a little grandaughter.......she was so adorable, however, the first few months were not the easiest!

kootchie...kootchie....kooooo

I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU...THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT FOR THE YEAR 1988!

ANYWAY....YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL US GRANDMOTHERS ARE,
SO I TOLD CINDY TO RAISE LITTLE GINA, ACCORDING TO DR. SPOCK AS HE'S SO KNOWLEDGEABLE
well...... you guessed it, what book did she go out and buy...one by:

Oh, Cindy.....not THAT Spock!
(you think there's a bit of a "generation gap here?)

SEVEN MONTHS LATER, OUR SON GAVE US A GRANDSON.....We were so excited...first a girl, then a boy...HOWEVER....boys are a little different than girls!.....just ask "trixie", our cat...
Poor "trixie" couldn't understand this little "alien"!

"MEOW"

meaning....."I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH MYSELF AROUND HERE FROM NOW ON....NO MORE MRS. NICE KITTY"

"ME MAKEE BIG NOISE....WHEEEEE"

WELL......YOU KNOW JUST HOW HARD IT IS FOR THE FATHERS WHEN THEIR LITTLE OFFSPRING ARRIVES...
IT'S VERY NERVE WRACKING FOR THEM....

They have to find some quiet, secluded place to go to relax and get over the pressures of becoming a father!

"Really a tough day, huh Dad?"

Well, while "daddy" was out, getting his nerves back in order....Grandma and Grandpa were in the hospital's waiting room watching.....you guessed it.....

FINALLY THE DOC CAME IN..."ALL'S WELL"

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY AND POP AND I WENT HOME TO RELAX....I thought it would be a good idea to take a bath and celebrate with a nice glass of wine BOY....DOES THAT FEEL GREAT

WELL....WHILE I WAS HAVING MY WINE IN MY BUBBLE BATH, POP WAS HAVING HIS IN THE DEN....

YESSIREE, BOB....SURE HAS BEEN A LONG DAY

I've told him time and time again, not to drink wine from a mug but he never listens to me....see what happens?

I'VE TOLD YOU OUR POODLE WAS SPOILED?

"Oh, Pepper, just because I'm relaxing in my bubble bath, doesn't mean you should"

THERE'S THREE KINDS OF BLOOD VESSELS...THEY ARE ARTERIES, VANES, AND CATERPILLARS (out of the mouth of babes)
