Share Your Memories
Grandparent’s Day isn’t far off. In fact, it’s September 11th this year. NanaHood loves grandparents and I love being a nana, so let’s celebrate by sharing our grandparent memories!
Send me your memories (and a picture too, if you have one). I’ll post them closer to Grandparent’s Day. (te****@******od.com)
Quotes to get you thinking about grandparents….
- There’s nothing like having a grandchild to restore faith to heredity. ~Doug Larsen
- Truth be told, there’s nothing better than being a grandparent. All our elders know this and it is evidenced by that twinkle in their eyes. Of course, they know more than they let on—life’s secrets have come to them through time, experience, and patience. ~author unknown
- Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. ~Welsh Proverb
- The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held by people with no grandchildren. ~Doug Larson
- Grandparents are a family’s greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, The greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions that linger on in cherished memory. Grandparents are the family’s strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, grandparents keep a family close at heart. ~author unknown
- Surely, two of the most satisfying experiences in life must be those of being a grandchild or a grandparent. ~Donald A. Norberg
- Grandparents are the footsteps to the future generations. ~author unknown
- Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends – and hardly ever our own grown children. ~Ruth Goode
- Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter, caring deeds, wonderful stories and Love. ~author unknown

Aw! I had barely any opportunity to meet my grandparents. My grandpa’s Ph.D. certificate hangs in my bathroom (one of the few places I may post freely!), but I only met him a couple of times. My other grandparents are even more distant in memory.
I look forward to reading other peoples’ memories, and I’m delighted to think my Li’l D will have memories of his dad’s grandma and great grandma alike. ♥
What a wonderful idea! Everyone seems to forget the Grandparents. I am a mother and a grandparent and I hardly get recognized for either one but when mine were alive I let them know every time how much I loved them. The younger generation sometimes is so clueless! I would just settle for a card, even a handmade one, just something that says I haven’t forgotten. I am a new follower from the blog hop and I am following you thru GFC , RSS Feed and Twitter. I cannot follow thru FB right now and its a long story so please check out my post dated August 20th on the Weekend Blog Hops. As soon as they take care of it I can follow. I will leave it up to you if you want to follow me now or wait until I can follow you first. Either way I understand. Follow what you can and I will be happy! Thanks so much and have a great day!
