Some objects are removable, like the cardboard keys and sunglasses, but it’s a shame that you can’t really see out of the glasses.
Grandmother poems for and about Grandma’s are a real treasure to be enjoyed and shared throughout the generations. Here is a collection of some of the best Grandma Poems on the web.
Being a grandma allows me to enjoy all the wonderful Grandma and Grandpa quotes and old sayings that didn’t have any real meaning to me until I became a Grandma. My favorite Grandma quote so far is, “What goes on at Grandma’s house stays at Grandma’s house”, and boy oh boy ain’t that the truth!
I was recently tagged with the “7 Things Meme”, and even though I have already done the 7 Things on another blog I own, I figured I could do the 7 Things meme here on Grandma Stories too.
