Barbara,
I may have missed reviewing a chapter or two of your book A Paper Time Capsule, but once again you've penned another fascinating short chapter to share with your granddaughters in a book they will cherish for a lifetime.
All the best,
Eugene

Comment from Terry Broxson
Barbara, it sounds like a very fun trip for you and your husband. I am sure you will have a great time. What got me laughing about this story is the idea of Grandma being a lawyer. Never having had kids, I can not imagine how you will walk that fine line...But good luck. Terry.

Thank you for the support. I get to spoil the kids and give them back to their parents. LOL But in order to do that, one needs a great relationship with the parents. I am lucky my son loves his mom, and my daughter-in-law and I have a very special relationship.

This was so very sweet to read early this morning, here...in getting cooler Spain.
Grandchildren are so wonderful. They certainly have a mind of their own.
I owned a clothing Store for 25 plus years, in Santa Monica, Ca.
So many stories I could tell..but here is one I think you will enjoy.
I had a customer who brought her little boy of 4 into the store one day.
When I asked his name, he said jack. My customer said, no actually his name is Michael, but for some reason he wants to be called Jack. Every time ahe came in with her son, he would say that his name was Jack. This went on for two years. Finally my customer legally had her sons name changed to Jack as he would never answer to any other.
One has to wonder...right ...

Thank you for the support. Oh how cute. Children do have a mind so their own. My husband I raised four boys. I got a book by Dr. Dobson, 'The Strong-Willed Child'. After reading it, I realized I had four strong-willed sons. LOL Each one was strong-willed but in different ways.

You are so welcome.

It sounds like your son has things under control, Barbara. LOL.
That said, I'm sure your presence will bring a positive spin on behavior -- perhaps from the adults and the children. Have fun! Best, JohnC

Comment from Mary Vigasin
I think a little grandma intervention and a little parental patience are due here. A child cannot fall into a mold and be like her older sister. She has to develop on her personality.
On your visit, I think you will find that you have so much to tell them in your letters.
Best wishes,
Mary

Siblings are all so different but all wonderful in their own way. We wouldn't want them to be the same. Your granddaughters sound simply delightful.
Thanks for sharing. Take care. Jen.

Can't wait. And the world is so much more open for girls now. Evidence rests in the idea of a girl playing soccer, which would have been laughable twenty years ago.

I understand. I'm so glad you're able to make a personal visit. I'm sure it will yield many successful, life enriching things. I remember going through a phase when I thought my name was too plain or too something. I will pray for traveling mercies and for your time there to be rich. Sending you my best today as always.
