Grandparents Day at the school went great! It was scheduled to begin at lunch time and grandparents or a special person were encouraged to bring a lunch to share with their little person. He had told me that the evening before and asked if I could bring Mickey D's. I did and we enjoyed eating and talking together. There was a paper on his desk with questions on both sides for him to ask me and write down my answers. Most of the questions were about what school was like back when I attended and how different was it today. Some were questions about subjects I liked, what I played out for recess and what kind of lunch I brought to school.............I didn't take a lunch to school. Back when I went to elementary school, they were all neighborhood schools and the kids lived close enough to walk home for lunch every day! The above photo is courtesy of marcia.ashley
Amber did end up coming down this weekend. I had to drive up to a city called Wellston and pick up Doug. He had been working there all week and we both wanted to go and watch Amber play in a basketball game in another little town called Walkerville. I had to leave at 6 AM in order to get to where Doug was and turn around and drive back to where Amber was going to play. She asked her daddy if she could come back with him and if he could take her back to her other Grandma's in Cedar Springs on Sunday. He said sure, so she came back with us. She went to her Dad's home and spent the night and when it was time for her to go meet her mom, her dad, for whatever reason, couldn't take her so I had too. I asked if she had everything she came down with and she said yes, so off we went.
After arriving, she decided to look through her backpack and discovered she DID NOT have her basketball jersey or her hooded sweatshirt with her name on the back. I told her I would make sure she had it before Saturday's game at 11AM. Went to her dad's the next day..........looked through the dirty clothes pile and sure enough, I found it. Brought it back here, washed it and quickly ran to the post office to purchase a priority mailer and sent it to her overnight mail.
I spoke with her on Tuesday and she now has everything that she thought she had before leaving her dad's! She said "everyone should have a MEMA"! Ah, if all of life's problems were so easily handled, eh?

My kids LOVE grandparents day at school; it's not until February though. It coincides with the book fair so it's really great b/c then the grandparents buy them books!!
I like to hear my grandparents talk about what their school years were like. My grandfather had to do farm chores before leaving for school. I can only imagine that his day began really early!
Sounds like grandparent's day went quite well! Enjoyed the pic.
Not all grandmas are quite this good so tell Amber she's especially lucky.
Hugs
Awwe ~ Sounds like a fun day! I miss my grandparents so much :(
Sounds like grandparents day was a nice day!
I had to laugh (outloud) when I read you went to Walkerville. Could you contain your excitement?
What a hole in the wall trashy town. They have a post office, a school, a gas station, a church and not one but TWO bars. Probably would explain why all 17 people that live there are alcoholics.
That is so wonderful...you know she will remember that gesture for a very long time if not for always.....how very sweet of you...but I wouldn't have expected anything less...cheers my friend...
