 Be sure to pass it on to all the grandparents and great grandparents you know





Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown 

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, 
and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret 

Grandmothers are just 'antique' little girls. ~Author Unknown 

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. 
~  Welsh Proverb 



 


A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead 
of the television.. ~Author Unknown 


Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Vidal 

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just 
a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown 



Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because 
Grandfathers have only so many horsy rides in them. ~Gene Perret 

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window. 
~Ogden Nash 

Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just 
you all day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMaree 




Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author unknown 

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our 
hearts forever. ~Author Unknown 

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, 
I'd have had them first. ~Lois Wyse 

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after 
two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret 

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should
advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is 
no fun for old people like it! ~Hannah Whithall Smith 

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the 
world calls her grandmother. ~Author Unknown 




Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing 
old. ~Mary H. Waldrip 

You do not really understand something unless you can explain 
it to your grandmother. ~Proverb 

An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again.
Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret 




The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You 
feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long 
periods, which is why most grandparents flee to  Florida  . ~Dave Barry 

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for 
self-defense. ~Gene Perret 

Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas 
are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author Unknown 

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do 
Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of 
little children. ~Alex Haley




Grandmother - a wonderful mother with lots of 
practice. ~Author Unknown 

A grandparent is old on the outside but young on 
the inside. ~Author Unknown 

One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new 
grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. ~Joy Hargrove 

It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you 
become one. ~Author Unknown 


If your baby is 'beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, 
sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the 
time,' you're the grandma. ~Teresa Bloomingdale 

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have 
around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their 
grandchildren. ~Author Unknown 


What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say 
that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they can 
but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they 
can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill Cosby 

Grandchildren don't make a man feel old; it's the knowledge 
that he's married to a grandmother. ~G. Norman Collie
