my daughter posted this pic of grand baby j, looking out of the mail slot for me,
calling out, ‘grandma, grandma?’

with six under six you get (maybe a bite if you’re lucky) egg roll
family math: take my 3 daughters, all close in age. now grown and each with their own 2 children, also close in age, all under age 6. mix it all together and it equals 6 grand babies and lots of love and life and joy. they all call me ‘peaches,’ a childhood nickname i’ve reclaimed. here is the cast of characters you may meet in past and future stories.

the toddle of shame: the morning after.
as part of our fun day in the city, we took the babies to bill’s beergarten – local german-style social gathering spot, outside, and right in the hub of town. while there, they fully embraced the spirit of the environment.
looking back, things must have been way too fun, as i got a call to pick up some things we’d left behind. nothing like the feeling the morning after, as i humbly returned to the scene to pick up my grandson’s sippy cup and bag of baby things.
now there’s a life lesson from your grandmother.
james – loyal and understanding employee of bill’s beergarten, (and advocate of the “what happens at bill’s, stays at bill’s” policy), returns the goods with a laugh and a kind word.
