I love your stories. So descriptive, almost as if we were setting there watching everything take place.

You paint such grand pictures of your entire family, Bonnie. Most families have a relative they could do without. Haven't you got one under someone's bed somewhere? Great story as always....Kath

My older sister, younger brother, and I sometimes played practical jokes on our parents and paternal grandmother, but we never thought of the "time change" one! Your two kids were clever to come up with that. Grandparents are usually so forgiving and less strict with grandkids than with their own, so perhaps that's why we got away with a lot more childhood antics with them!
I really like your story, Bonnie.
Sincerely,
Sandi in FL.
