Comments on: Grandparent’s Day? What of it? http://www.ageless-sages.com/blog/grandparents-day-2009/ Picture Books For Elders Sat, 24 Jul 2010 13:06:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kaye Swain http://www.ageless-sages.com/blog/grandparents-day-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-11936 Kaye Swain Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:51:12 +0000 http://www.ageless-sages.com/blog/?p=113#comment-11936 Hi Natalie, popped in to visit from Boomers and Seniors: News You Can Use. Great article. I have to admit, I am a combination of both! I LOVE to celebrate and have fun with holidays. My grandkids and I enjoy making crafts for all sorts of holidays, from Christmas to Autumn to National Popcorn Day. :) But the ones that I did not grow up celebrating are harder for me to remember - even when I write about them at my site! Go figure! :) Then again, there have been many times when, due to illness and/or caregiving duties keeping us too busy, we would make ornaments for a regular holiday like Christmas, yet not get around to giving them - at least not til the next year. But we had so much fun making them, it makes it all worthwhile. So maybe that's part of the way to capture AND share the "magic" - just spending the time with those we love, having fun, making projects, and doing tiny celebrations in those quiet moments and not stressing in the "busier than all get out" moments. Then when I do forget, I can know we did celebrate it, just on a different day :) :) :) Hi Natalie, popped in to visit from Boomers and Seniors: News You Can Use. Great article.
