Can I get adopted?? Sounds like ya'll will be having a great time. I miss my grandmas.

Sounds like great fun. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing these great granny ideas, Debbie!

me too, I want you to adopt me. I missed seeing my grandkids as much this summer, they all had sports camps. Did get to spend a week with 3 of the 4 just before school and took them to Weeki Wachi and played in our pool a lot. My eldest grandson was my chef's assistant and quite good at it. He himself does not eat much, mac and cheese, pizza, hot dogs and etc. but loves to cook for others. He is now as tall as his Godfather, my youngest son, 6 ft tall at 14, they do grow up fast. Of course they all think they are grown up when they are taller than their 5 ft grandma. Enjoy

My son is getting married next spring and I can't wait for the day I become a grandmother. I loved being with my grandmother because she did fun things too! My daughter had a wonderful relationship with her grandmother, my mom. My mom passed away two years ago and my daughter (22) still talks about all the fun she had and even when she was in college she would go to her grandmother's, watch her favorite soap opera- Passions, have lunch and just spend time talking! Have a wonderful time with your granddaughters.

"Mom's couldn't be everywhere - that's why God created Grandmas!"
This is a quote from a plaque my grandma 'Babchi' had hanging in her kitchen. I remember every summer taking the bus ride with her and all her rosary society lady friends down to Asbury Park NJ to walk the boardwalk, eat fried shrimp at a "real" restaurant, get Kohr's frozen custard for dessert and top it off with a great ride on the carousel!
I'm 46 and a grandma (Nana) myself now, but I still treasure the memories of my dear,sweet Babchi...Enjoy your time with Bailey and Maddie. You deserve it! :)

I have been a foster mom to three of my grandbabies. I have had all of them pretty much since they were three days old. The two older ones went to live with their daddy about 6 months ago and things begin to backslide so they are back with us. So right now, counting them we have 5 foster children (3 which are grandbabies ages 3 1/2,2 1/2, 18 months. So my days are busy and our son, our baby is 10 today.

What would we do without our Grandmas. I have 4 grandchildren of my own and there is nothing better than the time we spend together.Enjoy Grandma camp time.

Those lucky children! I am quickly racing through your latest book, but paused to see what's up with you, too. :) I cannot WAIT to have Grandma Camp at my house "someday." (My children are 4, 7, 10, 13, 15, and 18 years old! It will probably be a while until then!) ;)

I wish my grandmother did these with me I am a single 48 year old with no children and love to do things like this My fathers' mother passed before I was born and my moms' mother taught me to knit a little but mostly mom taught me but no girls get togethers like having pedicures teas or knitting/crocheting lessons I am starting to teach myself to knit and crochet all over again with various books due to your Blossom Street book series Thank you for being an inspiration Debbie ( I am reading Knitting Together too) Hedy from New York

How cool is that?! I have fond memories of my grandmothers, but nothing like that!
I enjoy my three grandsons, ages 14, 11, and 8. Hopefully my oldest son and his wife will grant me my wish for a granddaughter next year! I have begun collecting little girl things for my "someday" granddaughter! :D
Have a WONDERFUL memory-making camp!
Blessings ~

Thanks for the memories of happy times with my Grandmother !!! I hope you all have a precious time in each others company - - that's what memories are made of, ya know !!!

What a wonderful way to spend a week-end and make memories. My grandchildren are all grown but as the song goes,"Thanks for the memories." May I suggest a new series on your travels and with your grandchildren.Great reading. Shalom...

I really like your Grandma camp idea! May I borrow it? How about writing a book about it? Xgramma

Time with grandchildren is the best. I work every other weekend. On my weekend off the grandchildren come sleep over on Saturday. We play game, playout side and do other fun things. Sunday we go to churchtogether, have lunch together. The rule is you have to be 2years old to sleep over, but at 18 months you can come for the day and parents have to pickyou up. Lily wasn't to be sleeping over do to the surgery, I had on my shoulder in July. While Lily to her Mom good-bye. When her mother went to get her in the living room, Lily had hold of the table and chair and wouldn't let go. Thanks to my other dauther who lives with me Lily got to stay over. We all laugh about it now but her mom was heart broken. Lily is the youngest. I ask the kids why there want to go to grandma,s house and was told we love you. That is the best. Dawn
